My girl is very aware of every change in our household, afterall it is her entire world. I found that if I apologize to her and make it clear that she is the center of my universe, things turn to a positive. Make no mistake...these hounds are very smart! Enjoy the ride . We do.

MacKenzie thinks your handsome boy is lucky to have a family that appreciates him. We congratulate all of your family members and welcome Deacon to Greytalk. More pics please

One cup dry kibble with one heaping teaspoon coconut oil served with 1/2 cup of steamed broccoli. She gets this for breakfast and dinner. She weighs 59 pounds and we have to keep her close to race weight as she broke her right hind leg and had knee reconstruction right before we took her home.She is often called a Whippet. We jjust smile. She has treats often and chews antler bones.

Hello Sage...you are so handsome. Good Boy!

I jog with Mackenzie several days a week. She enjoys it. I also defer to her when she stops to turn around. Some days she goes 3 miles and others she might want to go short. She is very communicative when she just wants to walk.

My MacKenzie is 6 years old and very healthy. We have had a few accidents and a broken toe. She prefers to walk instead of use her own backyard as a potty stop. We tried to feed her more raw food and we made her sick. Our fault again. She has a simple diet, walking, playing with us and of course sleeping is her career. She is retired, that is for sure. The only regret I have is that we did not consider a Greyhound in our youthful years.

^^^^^^^^^^^ I am still laughing

Well it looks like "Waynes World" to all of us. Welcome home handsome boy. Congrats

Yeah...if we don't get pics of that Kitty and New Grey we will revolt...amIrite????

Welcome. Indy is handsome and lucky to have a loving home. Congrats!

When MacKenzie was new to our household two years ago we had a similar issue. We tried all of the above. I was so destroyed by lack of sleep I thought I was crazy. One evening I was just exhausted and lay beside her while she fussed at 2 am. I began to lightly stroke her body and my hand slid down her leg and I was startled to feel how cold her leg was. This might be it! I gathered a baby blanket and wrapped her up she slept like a content baby. She was cold, end of story. We hope you find what your sweet girl needs.

Our female loves children, especially babies. She is gentle and kind.

We are glad to know that Jake is home and on the mend. Have swift recovery Jake.

Yay

Such a Regal and Handsome Boy! We are so glad he is doing well.

We are sorry to hear about your beautiful Jake. You are in our thoughts.

Oh the C O N E......carry on. We wish Otis a speedy recovery and a lovely meal when he is feeling better. Mackenzie says,"Four paws up Mr. Otis"

Oh my, I love those. Please let us know what, where and when.

Welcome! What a lovely pair you make.

Lovely photo, awful situation for the Blond Grey, and you have the strength and heart of the moon! Keep us posted on this story.

Shorter walks with positive endings were best in our situation. We adopted MacKenzie at 3.5 years old and had some of the same experiences as you. The more I relaxed the better she was on the other end of the leash. Simple, I know. But I did not know it when we got her. I was slightly anxious due to time constraints and she knew it and therefore she was more alert. These hounds are smart, smart, smart. Go out to the pee spot and stand there. Tell her what you want her to do. Repeat when you can. Sit out on the porch and have a nice moment with your hound. In other words, make it familiar to her in a positive way. Treats if you do that with her. Be patient, we finally got there and our girl is amazing. We love her more every day.

Welcome from Southern California. I bought your book a few days ago and have almost completed it. Wealth of information and advise. I admire your commitment to this lovely breed of Hounds. Thank you!

Pebbles, you are a Grand Lady, congrats on your new home.

LOL my husband thought our new girl was Clinically Depressed by too many changes. We learned to adore her while she slept and be active with her when she was awake. If we didn't close the door to our bedroom she would run to bed without even thinking about doing her Lady business. We learned, she learned and now we are all happy.
