stevevt Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I just got my boy EQ Sunday. He's generally quirk free (and amazing in every way), so when a quirk popped up yesterday it stood out. My living room ceiling fan has been on continuously since EQ arrived. I turned it off last night as we were getting ready to leave. Not only did he notice the fan not moving right away, but he kept looking at the fan and then me and then the fan, 5 times or so. All the while, he had a not-previously-seen worried expression on his face. "I think the ceiling's broken," he seemed to be saying. I thanked him for noticing, and we headed out. This is a dog who barely reacts to new and weird noises, my comings and goings, etc., so I was happy to have a small glimpse of something that could fit in this part of the forum.

LBass Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 He's a beautiful boy. Welcome to the wonderful world of Greyhounds! Aren't you glad he noticed the fan but wasn't freaked out by it? Spirit was quite appalled when the Dish satellite was put on the roof right about the stairs form the deck into the yard. I had to go out and escort him past it several times before he decided it was not going to ambush him from above. Quote Lucy with Greyhound Nate and OSH Tinker.

Aren't you glad he noticed the fan but wasn't freaked out by it? Definitely. He's really laid back about pretty much everything. 25 minutes ago, FiveRoooooers said: ps, are you calling him EQ? Yes. EQ is his official name. It's short for Equuleus, a constellation name that means "Little Horse" in Latin. He doesn't know his name yet, but we're getting there.

Time4ANap Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 He may want you to turn the fan on. We've had lots of greyhounds in and out of our house from boarders to visitors to our own hounds, and they all like to lay directly under the ceiling fan when it's moving, or in front of the floor fan in the bedrooms. They seem to like the air movement. Some greyhounds are freaked out by celing fans when they first arrive, so you lucked out. Very handsome dude! Quote Camp Broodie.
