Hawthorn Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hello everyone I just wanted to introduce my lovely boy Sunny. He's 2 years and 5 months old and I've had him for 4 months. I asked for a big boy who is good with cats and he certainly is both. He's almost 30 inches tall and weighs 40 kilos, which I think is about 90 pounds. And he's been completely indifferent to our 18 year old cat since day one. His racing name was Come on Flo, but he never actually raced. He's got a happy, very good-natured disposition and is quite lively and playful which is great fun. He's also very cuddly and will come up to you and collapse against you when he wants a cuddle! He's the third greyhound I've owned over the last 12 years, having lost my previous 2 last year. Needless to say, I am a total greyhound addict! It certainly helps a lot having owned greyhounds before as now I don't panic when little teething problems arise, as I know they will pass. We go to training classes once a week and he's so good with all the other dogs. He's the first greyhound I've had that sits naturally. We live in Hertfordshire, England, by the way. Anyway, I know how much you all like pictures, so here he is (hopefully, if I've done this right!): Here he is in our garden, having a bit of a bad tail day And in his new paddling pool (took a bit of persuading to get him in the first time) As you can see he's made himself at home He's very bendy and can curl up really small But hasn't quite worked out how to fit his whole body on the bed yet Poor Sunny had a small op on Wednesday to remove a growth on his neck, but I'm going to post separately in Health and Medical about this. I'm looking forward to being part of such a knowledgeable and caring forum. Quote When a relationship of love is disrupted, the relationship does not cease. The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues. The work of grief is to reconcile and redeem life to a different love relationship. ~ W Scott Lineberry Always Greyhounds Home Boarding and Greyhounds With Love House Sitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dmona Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Welcome from the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. Your Sunny boy is well 'um "sunny." He is beautiful. We are in the process of moving back to our home state of S.C. and my plan is to buy a house big enough for a couple of more hounds.(we have two now) We want a white one for sure maybe one who looks like Sunny. Hope you enjoy Greytalk as much as I do. It is part of my daily routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
