  1. I think what we need is a bit more information. Is there a type of vehicle you prefer? Which country are you in?
  2. My first one was very timid and although she would eat and drink she totally ignored me for the first two days. I kept the house quiet and calm and let her acclimatise at her own pace. Over about 6 months she got used to the outside world and stopped statuing on walks, got used to traffic and got more confident with meeting other dogs.
  3. Is there a noise that only happens during the week? Workmen, traffic, children going to or at school? Will he go out when it's quieter?
  4. Grace does something similar. She'll look at me as if she wants to go for a wee. As soon as I get off the sofa she jumps onto my warm spot and promptly falls asleep
  5. Grace has stopped joining Guinness and me on the 7am morning walk but is happy to join us on the day's second walk. As she's nearly 9, had a couple of racing accidents and suffers with corns I let her have a lie-in. I figure she deserves it.
  6. Not all greyhounds suffer with sleep startle if that's your worry. Neither of my two do but as Jerlyn says they don't have to go on the sofa if you don't want them to. I only encouraged mine to do so as I have rheumatoid arthritis and the floor is a long way down. Also you might want to start using your bedroom as greyhounds can be very noisy when they start licking various parts in the middle of the night and they might have a gas problem
  7. When she follows you to the lift when she's not going for a walk I guess she hasn't got her lead on. If that's the case why not delay putting her lead on until you are in the lift? Somehow in her head she associates putting her lead on in your apartment with something scary or perhaps associates walks with you leaving her to go to work afterwards so if she doesn't have a walk you won't go to work. Greyhounds don't think the same as other dogs and all have their own quirks.
  8. Sounds like Guinness. Unless it has a squeaker he's not interested so like yours it's now a bolster and Grace was never one for toys anyway.
  9. Welcome from two more Irish black hounds, Grace and Guinness, now mostly sleeping interrupted with the occasional raoching in England.
  10. The flexor tendoctomy operation seems to be the flavour of the month as a cure. Guinness had it done before I adopted him and that toe has remained corn free since although he has one on his other front foot so might consider having it done to that toe too. Grace on the other hand has suffered with corns for over 5 years often having 3 on each of her front feet. I have tried everything apart from the flexor tendoctomy operation as she wouldn't have any operational toes left and nothing really works so I just manage the condition by taking her in the car to the park for walks. I believe some dogs are lucky in that once it comes out it doesn't come back or they grow out of it. I hope Willa is one of the lucky ones.
  11. As greysmom said get your vet to give him a thorough examination both medical and physical. You could ask your adoption group to recommend one who's greyhound experienced.
  12. "You've got a bit of food on the side of your face. There. Got it"
  13. Is it me or does one of them look like an elephant from the rear?
  14. Basically Airtags work by sending out an ID signal that is picked up by the nearest Apple phone which then sends it's location to Apple's servers and then to your phone. When you get near enough your phone will then start to give you a more precise location. The system works by there being enough Apple phones in the area to pick up the initial signal.
