Guest Vermin Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hi all This is Belle (or Tinkerbelle, as she was called in the kennels ) a two-year-old little lady. Her "racing" name was Sarebra Spirit, but she didn't ever make it as far as a race. The lure of a sofa and plenty of cushions was far too great for her. We've had her for just over a week, and apart from an accident on the sofa on our first day (turns out she won't pee whilst on the lead) she's been virtually trouble-free. She's had a lot thrown at her since we picked her up, with us having to unexpectedly leave her for a couple of hours after we'd only had her for 5 days and then having nearly a dozen people descend on our house the next day, but she has taken all of it in her stride. She was a bounce-back to the kennels, which is a shame, but the previous owner's loss is definitely our gain. She loves the kids (curled up on the sofa with them after being home for only 4 hours), although it would be nice if we could sit down for dinner without everyone having to give her a cuddle before she'll go and lie on her bed..! The kennels said she should have been a model, not a racer. I think she's nearly got the hang of posing for the camera! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest goofydog2 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Holy cow, is she sleeping in the second Pick? Either way she's beautuful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vermin Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Haha, not sleeping in the second one, just trying to make a duvet as comfortable as the normal bed cushion (which was being washed because she'd already covered it in crumbs and drool!)

Unsolicited advice on the peeing-on-leash: Take her out on leash when she really needs to go, and stay out till she pees. Then praise praise praise and treats.

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...

Guest Vermin Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Thanks for your comments everyone. Belle's definitely settling in well, especially now I've taken her off the food she was eating at the kennels. Wish I'd known about plain, boring old chicken and rice before spending money on a probiotic from the vets... Oh well, live and learn I guess. And she now pees while on the lead! Hurrah! (Why did no one tell me that I'd spend the first couple of weeks of greyhound ownership spending all my time thinking about what comes out the back of the dog, as well as what goes in the front end?!)
