    I am so very sorry, he clearly was a special dog
  3. Heather and Ken, I am so sorry
  4. I used to walk them about 40 min around the neighborhood (no idea about mileage), but I stopped walking them in the summer a few years ago when Fletcher started getting sensitive to the heat. His arthritis is getting worse as well, so I think I'm going to have to start walking him separately from the girls, who can still go 30-40 minutes easily. They are 9 1/2, 9 1/2, and 7 1/2. I'd have a 2 1/2 yr old checked out if he only wants to walk 15 min, but he may just be taking retirement seriously
  5. Well, Fletcher is a klutz, AND he has arthritis, AND he's 9 1/2, almost a senior Until his arthritis got bad, he mostly hurt himself out in the yard, and going up and down the three steps into the yard. The steps are cement with a marine paint with grit to keep them from being slippery, but he still scuffs his feet on them sometimes. Honestly, outside I rarely know how he gets cut/scraped/scratched he just comes in with a new (almost always minor) owie. He would occasionally wipe out in the house, on the wood floors, but when he was younger, he would just bounce back up, apparently unharmed I now have rubber backed area rugs everywhere, I buy multiple cheap ones so I can just throw them in the wash, and throw them out when the backing goes. Other than non-slip rugs, you may just have to wait and see what kind of accidents he is prone to. I know part of Fletcher's problem is his attitude, which is a full speed ahead, leap before you look, "what do you mean I'm not a puppy anymore"
  6. My first greyhound was very timid and shy. I will just add to what everyone else has said, all she really needs is time. Don't ecpect too much of her too soon, take it slow, and she will get much more comfortable. Sugar was always shy, and timid in new situations, but she got much, much better over time, and at home she became a true nut job, roaching and grinning

    Oh no no no no! I am so sorry
  8. We don't have rain, but it is much cooler here at night and Fletcher has been limping more. He has had arthritis for a few years, and it has gotten worse, I am SURE that's all Faye Oops has, anything else would be unacceptable
  9. I am so sorry I never got to meet Bee Wiseman in person, but I know from GT that she was a special dog, and I will remember her
  10. :confetti sounds like she is going to keep you on your toes
  11. Greg I am so sorry I know she was your girl
  12. oh ouch, that makes me cringe and I don't even have a hoo hoo
