Jerilyn Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Greyhounds are such weird dogs; they can either curl up into a tiny little ball or stretch out so very loooongggg.

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. 🤪 Quote Irene ~ Owned and Operated by Jenny (Jenny Rocks ~ 11/24/17) ~ JRo, Jenny from the Track Lola (AMF Won't Forget ~ 04/29/15 -07/22/19) - My girl.

Alibear Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only can they completely deflate themselves, but they can do it with a twist, essentially lying on both sides at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banjoman Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) 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! 😱 Edited March 28, 2021 by LaFlaca Quote Irene ~ Owned and Operated by Jenny (Jenny Rocks ~ 11/24/17) ~ JRo, Jenny from the Track Lola (AMF Won't Forget ~ 04/29/15 -07/22/19) - My girl.

Alibear Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Haha, my vet commented the standard "he's a little bit skinny" when I took him for his check up. Though she did say she was aware the greyhounds have less body fat. I very nearly said "have you SEEN those thighs?!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
