Yes to all of the above about energy levels, but she is So. Frickin'. Cute. What size do you think she's going to be as an adult?

Taking greyhound to the park
EllenEveBaz replied to EJBnewguy's topic in Training and Behavior discussion
I think there would be a lot fewer unplanned puppies, lost, or killed-in-traffic dogs of all breeds if everybody followed the basic sighthound safety guidelines. In a short time, it's second nature to follow them. I used to live in a city that had a lot of events in parks and I would take 2 hounds on what's called "dogwalker" leashes -- extra long with option of clipping them securely around your waist. I'd have them around my wrist as we went in, but once settled down on the grass and blanket, I'd hook the leashes around my waist to keep my hands free and be a secure anchor in case one bolted. (Even a greyhound wouldn't be able to jerk my butt off the ground ) I never had an attempted escapee. Yes, there are a lot of diversions in parks, but they are also a kind of greyhound heaven -- soft blanket in the sun or shade as preferred for napping, human within easy reach, usually food involved, and people stopping by to admire the beautiful dog and give pets. Because when you're out in public with a greyhound, you are an attention magnet. Relax and enjoy! (Except for the occasional whiner.) PS: "Hypothetical" would be a good name for a greyhound. You could call him or her Hype for short. Just sayin'. -

Lil Poppy is too cute! She wears her swag well. Can you find her a cap that fits? Confessing ignorance -- how does the name Tessie connect to the Red Sox? -
(thud) Lovely at all stages. How much did she weigh in pic 1 and how much in pic 2? But Willa needs a puppy to play with. You'd get one for Willa, wouldn't you?

No direct experience here, either. Even if no access to an underwater treadmill, "swimming" in a heated pool with a life jacket to keep her skinny hound torso afloat would help. I used to live in a place that had a dog training center with a smaller, above-ground heated pool inside for water therapy. At first, a human had to get in the pool with the dog, either holding onto it or on a leash, but as dog got stronger and more used to the pool, gradually changed to dog in the pool by itself and humans on the outside rim taking turns calling it so it could get the most exercise. I can't imagine a hound with a physio ball. if it weren't so frustrating and scary for you. Her PT will have lots of other ideas. Best wishes for Penny and her team. Please keep us posted.

I looked up other recipes with peeps and many involved combining them with rice krispy treats. There was an episode of the Chopped tv show recently in which the mandatory ingredient was peeps.

I thought of another grey, too, or other friendly dog that she knows or could get to know inside her house first. Then try going out together.

Punkin and AnnIE, you are both so beautiful and engaging that you do not need to go to these lengths to get attention. Bestest wishes for you both, and for hugs for your mom.

Good thoughts for Merlin, Schmoozing Sammy, and especially Ami. I think Rachel posted that on your instagram just to divert attention from her slipping in to add to her brindle addiction collection. Hope you all have a good foster weekend!

Oh, Amelia -- be nice to your sister! You have to make allowances for the "normal" ones.
