Cat was there first!
Doolin was so sweet navigating carefully around her.
They are all very good. Buddy will not share his bed with another dog, or fresh air with a cat!

Doolin doing his best not to encroach on anyone else’s turf
-
Much better than Buddy, who was flummoxed by a thread curtain which was only meant to keep the flies out, and not him!
-
Good news Punkin! Sorry to hear about your posterior, but it can happen to the best of us. Keep on keeping on, young lady!
-
I’m glad you’ve lived to take more gorgeous photos!
-
Awwwww, sleep chatters

That face would get kissed a lot if he lived here!

We also have a shredder here. We rent a garage to a man who owns a classic car. The first year we had Buddy, the man posted a year’s payment in advance through the letterbox. When I came home from work that day, I arrived to find £10 and £20 notes strewn across his bed, leaving me thinking ‘what the heck have you been up to while I’ve been out?!?’

Happy gotcha day Facebook!

A trip to London is always fun, and it’s a bonus when there is a greyhound involved! It’s also nice to be able to meet up with online friends in person
-
They are from my mother in law, and I’m not sure if she picked them up on a trip to San Diego

Unfortunately I can’t see the photos for some reason but I have googled podenco orito so now I have an idea of what he looks like. Congratulations Noah on finding your forever home

We need pics!
Et voila!

Not bookends, but your puppers have been immortalised as a cruet set that I have!

Oh Buddy. I hate when those pesky holes jump up out of nowhere and attack! One ate my ankle shortly after Doolin arrived. Take it easy, and no more incidents or we'll have to update the sign again!
Oh my word, that made me laugh!

Oh Buddy, you have to be more careful
It could be his eyesight, although the hole wasn’t moving was it? Or it could be quirky greyhound behavior, I swear one of mine would have walked into a hole while watching a butterfly float by 
I hope he didn’t add to his wounds
Maybe your hound was reincarnated as mine.

Is Buddy due for an annual exam? Good to mention his coordination fails but hopefully they’re a nothing, not a something. Let’s go with that!
That’s good advice. We go to the vet each month for his Librela injection so I will ask about it then. Thank you.

Wiki herownself fell in a storm sewer grate last week. It's my greatest fear and not her fault because it was totally covered with snow and we didn't know it was there. She got herself out immediately but did also tear her carpal pad. She didn't get quite the level of care that Buddy did though. Just some ointment and a stern warning not to lick it.
Buddy has done this too! He always avoids them but when we were on holiday I.e. far from our own vet, he put his foot right through one and tore up his skin. My dog is now more scar than greyhound.

Too busy looking at the thing she wants rather than right in front of her. I’ve told him ‘CAREFUL!’ so many times after an accident, that when I say it to him, he actually stops and looks for hazards. It’s the only training word that we have practised again and again

Silly boy fell into a hole today. I managed to save him going completely over by holding him up by his lead (attached to a harness, thankfully), but whilst concentrating on getting his front end on solid ground, his back legs, which are under no control from his tiny brain*, went off on their own and his back end gave way underneath him. It was a rather large hole so I am beginning to wonder if his eyesight is failing him. He has nuclear sclerosis, although the vet said it shouldn’t affect his vision. I suppose he could have something else going on, or he could just be clumsy…
*50% of the tiny brain power is given over to treat detection, 50% to making sure mummy feels loved

I know that face - too hot, but too stubborn to move!

Absolutely, including "You should see the other guy."
You need to be careful, Buddy. You may not be quite as nimble as you recall. Love your stylish wound wear.
He already seems to have forgotten that he fell, and that he is limping, and that he is stiff all over. He wanted to take Honky the Hedgehog into the back garden for a play after his walk yesterday. We got the sad eyes and a dramatic sigh when we gently hold him ‘no’
-
I bet that was a sight to see! Some photos would be great - if you’re fast enough to capture them!
-
Thank you all for your well wishes and medical tips (sanitary ware is a great idea!), and Buddy is very grateful for the dietary recommendations to aid his healing!

Awww Buddy, tone it down a bit, will ya? While it's fab that you are feeling so spry, we want you to see 13, ok? There's a gud boi
Don't beat yourownself up, Mum, you only asked him to come in, *he* chose to do it at warp 90!

Buddy took a spectacular tumble yesterday. He has decided that he wants to go into the front garden for wees (the back garden is no longer right for reasons of light/temperature/wind direction/goodness knows), so we trotted him out yesterday, he did his business, and I called him to me from about 20 feet away to go back inside. After roughing up the ground where my bluebells and daffodils are
, he went from 0 to 
and almost immediately slipped and skidded from the grass onto the tarmac. I keep replaying it in my head in slow motion to really make myself feel bad about encouraging him to run to me and seeing his legs go from underneath him, which is how he has ended up with a torn pad (the highest one on his front left, so at least he won’t have to walk on it). He’s also scuffed the same pad on the other front leg, and deeply grazed his left leg from thigh to ankle. He must have face planted too, as he has a good graze on this top lip - which amazingly is the only wound he hasn’t tried to lick
Dad was immediately dispatched for medical supplies (fortunately we did have some from when I had an operation on my foot), while I stayed home for comfort and cuddles. He has been very clingy and a little bit subdued since, and I wonder if has just stared his own mortality in the face for the first time. Despite numerous slips and tumbles during recent zoomies, he refuses to accept that he might be getting on a bit - he is 12 1/2 next month.
Here are a couple of photos of his bandage covers / baby socks. He has been very patient while I have attempted to dress his wound, only flinching when I put some antiseptic cream on today before changing his bandage.
Oh my word, that made me laugh!

Wiki Eats Watermelon

We can possibly see evidence of watermelon around her chops (Buddy gets the same food marks, just on one side, and they’re the same shade of brown as Wiki’s regardless of what he eats!)
