HeyRunDog Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 This morning (18th March) Grace, Guinness and I took a trip down to Hall Green Greyhound Trust kennels and, after signing various forms and handing over the required donation, I officially adopted Guinness.

MerseyGrey Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Yay! I was going to ask how he was getting on so I’m glad you’ve started this! Are he and Grace still ignoring each other? Quote Buddy Molly 🌈 5/11/10-10/10/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are he and Grace still ignoring each other? Grace and Guinness are like an old married couple. They respect each other's space, sleep in separate beds but will travel next to each other in the back of the car are happy to do things together like sniffing the same tuft of grass at the same time. Not that I mean old married couples sniff grass Guinness has fitted in with Grace and I extremely well. No sleep aggression, no separation anxiety and he isn't a valcro dog but will come up to me, or anyone else for that matter, for the obligatory ear rub etc before returning to his crate for another nap and is house trained. He's starting to learn that not all treats are for him and that Grace gets her food bowl put down first. He's also making good progress in learning that wanting to greet another dog in a friendly way doesn't mean lunging at them and barking whilst wagging your tail and that putting your front feet on visitors shoulders is not good manners Quote Grace (Ardera Coleen) b. 18 June 2014 - Gotcha Day 10 June 2018 - Going grey gracefullyGuinness (Antigua Rum) b. 3 September 2017 - Gotcha Day 18 March 2022 - A gentleman most of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllenEveBaz Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Congreytulations! Quote Grace and Guinness are like an old married couple. They respect each other's space, sleep in separate beds but will travel next to each other in the back of the car are happy to do things together like sniffing the same tuft of grass at the same time. That's how I knew I had done the right thing when I adopted my first 2nd dog (you know what I mean); instead of staying next to me when we were outside, my first grey would join the new guy for sniffing things. They make a stunning pair.

Time4ANap Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Congratulations! I see you went with different color collars so you know who to yell at.
