Ta da......

 

Everyone this is George--the big, beautiful new man in my life. He is my first grey; I have had him for a week as of today. I am amazed at how much this bugger sleeps.....LIKE 23 hours a day. I wish I were that lucky :P He is still adjusting; we are having a wee bit of separation issues, oh well hopefully they will easy up as my neighbors are pissed...grumpy people.

 

I am so excited to now be a part of this awesome group of people.

 

Okay pics

hello hello! Give him some time, you will notice the seperation issues calm down and he will probably have more energy as he gets to know you and wants to interact with you more. When Pace first came home he only got up to eat and go out (and sometimes it was a struggle just to get him up and out of the house) but over the last few months he has really come to life! Welcome to greytalk!

hi, and welcome aboard.

 

i am sure when he calms down and settles in he will sleep longer, so don't worry about his insomnia. they do eventually wake up long enough for you to put food in one end and to let you take them out to get rid of it from the other.

 

oh, and don't let him sleep too near the walls, greyhound farts have been known to peel the paint off. he's not really decomposing from the inside out, just smells like it. they usually get better after he's settled in a bit more, but invest heavily in an air-freshener company of your choice. incense sticks are your friend. good thing the outside of them does not smell. until they roll in the dead rat they found out on their walkies.

I have a red fawn too :D Lego was a weirdo when we first got him, I think he just felt out of place but he has settled in very nicely. As far as the separation training went, it took some work and trying a few different things but he's eventually calmed down. He isn't completely perfect and silent while we're gone but he's far better than he was when we brought him home. Good luck and welcome.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. I think that George's seperation issues are getting a little better. I have plugged in a DAP diffuser and put him on rescue remedy (as was suggested by my adoption corordinator--who seems to be the greyhound whisperer :colgate) The 36thchamber what eventually worked for you and Lego (knarly names by the way)?

Welcome to you and to George! Tell your neighbors to get out more. If they're not home all the time, they can't hear the dog complaining.

 

Boy, in the "Santa's Helper" picture, you can totally tell that he's plotting his revenge... watch out!
