MooMooTheGreyt Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) Hi all! I've been lurking these forums for a few weeks now and wanted to make a post and introduce myself We adopted our dear Benjamin Button (aka Ben) (aka MooMoo our miniature Holstein cow) a little over 3 weeks ago. He's an almost four-year-old black and whiter who raced under the name of Sol's Buddy. Ben has settled in like an absolute champ from day one, he is the perfect gentlemen and has been so forgiving of DH and I's noob first time dog owner mistakes. We already can't imagine our life without him. This forum has already been an absolute goldmine of information, and I can't thank those who post enough for helping us get off on the right foot, providing sooo many helpful and handy tips, and just generally making us feel like we're not the only people in the world going through certain weird greyhound quirks (why does he lick the floor though, whyyy ) Things Ben likes very much: -morning and afternoon walksies -post dinner snuggles -afternoon naps in the back of mum's wagon -chasing flies -peanut butter and dried liver, preferably at the same time Things Ben doesn't like: -other big dogs (esp. the friendly, harmless neighbourhood labrador, grrrr ) -nasty ants -nasty grass seeds (major owie) -bath time And of course, pics!

DocsDoctor Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 What a handsome boy - he looks well settled in! Welcome!

LBass Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) Oh, my goodness! Ben is a beauty. He has such loving eyes as he gazes at you, too. Your description of him sounds a lot like my fist Greyhound, Piper the Perfect. He settled in so easily and was a wonderful introduction to the breed for me. He loved walks, being in the front of any group when walking, his blankie and jammies, and me. That feeling remains mutual. Welcome!

EllenEveBaz Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Not only a cow dog, but he's got SPECKLES! He almost looks like a dalmatian from the underside. Welcome from southwest Virginia. And besides licking the floor, why why why do they lick the sofa?
