EllenEveBaz Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 What a stunning boy! His tuxedo markings exactly fit his style. How your heart must have turned over when you saw him playing with one of Doc's stuffies. But I'm sure Doc would be so pleased and proud that you have another greyhound in your life.

DocsDoctor Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Thank you so much everybody! He is continuing to settle in well, and is now enjoying a nap downstairs, after a morning walk on our local common, and breakfast, and a zoom round with Doc's Sow (a pink plush pig). He is not at all a clingy dog - seems happy to be in another room on his own - which I guess is another mark of his confident personality. We saw quite a few other dogs at a distance this morning, plus one small brown fluffy escapee which came running up close from behind, clattering its retractable lead on the ground . But we stayed cool and moved on - he seems quite happy just observing all these strange new phenomena now. I doubt he'd seen anything like our local rush hour either - I live on a busy road so there's no avoiding all the people and traffic - but again he seemed quite happy trotting along with me and taking it all in. How your heart must have turned over when you saw him playing with one of Doc's stuffies. But I'm sure Doc would be so pleased and proud that you have another greyhound in your life. Yes indeed. I have told him that Doc left them for him as a welcome gift, and that we can get him some more once we have worked out his preferences. Meanwhile he is playing with them all enthusiastically, but also gently. Which is also what Doc used to do, so some are very old friends - the teddy in the pic was one he found for himself in a recycling bag outside someone's house, brand new at the time but must be a good nine years old now. . He is gorgeous :beatheart He looks very suave, very James Bond-y to me for some reason This may stick, I like it! 'The name is Bond - Ken Bond.' I used to tell Doc that he was like Indiana Jones as he was so keen on exploring new places! Quote Clare with Tiger (Snapper Gar, b. 18/05/2015), and remembering Ken (Boomtown Ken, 01/05/2011-21/02/2020) and Doc (Barefoot Doctor, 20/08/2001-15/04/2015)."It is also to be noted of every species, that the handsomest of each move best ... and beasts of the most elegant form, always excel in speed; of this, the horse and greyhound are beautiful examples."----Wiliam Hogarth, The Analysis of Beauty, 1753.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
