Time4ANap Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 (edited) Meet Nico. He is a Galgo from Spain. He is staying with us for a few days. He recently joined his new Mom after her loss of Snickers last September. He fell right into Snickers' old job of testing the human beds and furniture in the house to make sure they are soft enough. He will be a regular guest here and has been given automatic Platinum Status in our Guest Perks program. Sorry - links should be fixed now.

If you ask Siri, "How do you say lay down in Spanish," he will do what Siri says when she answers. He obviously speaks fluent Spanish. He gets along beautifully with all of the racers that he's met. Last night he climbed into bed with us and stayed there until it was time to go to his own bed on the floor. Never heard a peep out of him all night and this morning he jumped into bed with me and gave me kisses to wake me up. 4 hours ago, palmettobug said: Papas Fritas por todos! Not yet.

EllenEveBaz Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 ((( thud ))) I love how galgos look like someone has taken an exacto knife to the genetic blueprint and shaved off just a little bit of the greyhound shape here and there -- the galgo lines look so clean and sharp. Quote , "How do you say lay down in Spanish," I'll tell you the same thing my father told me when I was trying to teach dear Eve to and lie down -- "If you're going to be yelling at that poor dog, at least use correct grammar." (My father did not believe in trying to train dogs to do anything they might not want to do. ) "Lie down" means to move ourselves. We lie down on the bed, or on the floor. "Lay down" means to place something else. We lay a remote on the end table. 1 Quote Ellen, with brindle Milo and the blonde ballerina, Gelsey remembering Eve, Baz, Scout, Romie, Nutmeg, and Jeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time4ANap Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 14 hours ago, spottydog said: He looks to be a big boy! He's actually kind of petite. He's only about 45-50 lbs. He has sort of a Roman nose whuch makes his head look a little large for hs body but he is extremely handsome. It has been an uneventful weekend except for 2 pee incidents in the hallway. He is still not fully housebroken but is doing well with that. The locations where he peed were likely locations where other dogs peed long ago, or very close. He's also a champion roacher and has spent about the last 12 hours upside down. He did let me know when he needed to fo out in the middle of the night, so I think he is doing pretty well overall at potty training and he likely detected the old pee spots when he went inside the house. 5 Quote Camp Broodie.
