    Merry Christmas To Me!

    in Introductions & Biography

    Posted

    I got my Christmas present a day late. I was supposed to get my present on Friday, but the weather was too bad.

    Meet Manny, an Irish greyhound who came to the Pacific Northwest in November, and now has his forever home.

    Merry Christmas to us both!

    Meeting Manny at the kennel. He made a beeline for me - love at first sight! I did look at other hounds to be sure, but he stole my heart from the get-go.

    He's making himself right at home. No roaching yet, although he did a sort-of partial roach when i was sitting next to him petting him.

    I used PAWZ booties on my guy when I lived in Madison, WI. They are like thick balloons that slip over their feet and work really well at protecting the feet from salt. We walked a lot on the sidewalks, so the problem was more with salt than snow, but they helped with both. They last a fairly long time. They come 12 to a pack, so when one does get ripped or lost, you have several replacements.

     

    When Davis got into snow that was really deep, he occasionally lost a bootie, and since his were a bright greeen I couled ususally go back and find it. If not me, one of my neighbors would, and I would come home from work to find a green bootie on my doorknob.

     

    I found it easiest to put them on him when he was lying down. He got so that if I grabbed the booties and waved them at him, he would go to his dog bed and lie down and wait for me to put his booties on. Booties meant time to go OUTSIDE!!!

     

    Good luck with your girl. I hope she learns to enjoy the snow; Davis sure did.

    :welcome2 Welcome to GreyTalk and the Wonderful World of Greyhounds!

     

    I agree with Carol and Lisa - get to a meet-n-greet! I hung out at meet-n-greets before I got my guy, and learned a lot from people just by hanging around with them and talking to them about their dogs. There is a wealth of information to be found onthis site, but the person-to-person contact is even better, as you can ask questions and get an answer immediately. You can also get your 'greyhound fix' as you wait on getting yours! The more you are around these lovable dogs, the more you'll love them and eagerly await brining one into your family.
