I didn't want to sit down anyway!

Don't let her go anywhere near a restaurant that serves frog legs.  

Those little white toesies look so cute!

They can also lie on their sides and completely deflate themselves.  🥴

And they can play dead. The number of time I have nearly prodded Grace to see if she's alive because she doesn't seem to be breathing....:lol

This is especially true when their eyes are rolled back so far into their heads all you see is zombie white and their tongues are dangling two feet out of their mouths.  🤪

Haha! I was sitting at the dining room table doing some work, looked round, and there he was! How on earth is that comfortable?!

I remember checking on him A LOT for the first couple of weeks - he'd sometimes only take a breath every 10 seconds or so! I guess that's what those big lungs are for...

...and I'm constantly in awe of those legs - they're so insanely muscly and he's not even stopped growing yet :blink:

For some reason I was reminded of this post when looking at my girl. Not only can they completely deflate themselves, but they can do it with a twist, essentially lying on both sides at a time.

When I first took Chancey to the vet, when she was straight off the track, he commented on the size of her thigh muscles and how much bigger and stronger they were than "The other greyhounds we see here". Now, seven years later, she has become a rather wobbly old lady whose thigh muscles seem almost non existent compared to when she arrived here. She keeps trundling on, though, and loves her daily walks.

She is still capable of taking up the whole length of the settee!

My vet told me that he was a young man in veterinary school the first time he examined a Greyhound. He thought the dog’s muscles were tumors!  😱

The thighs are impressive, but it's the toothy grin that I find amusing. :lol:
