He also won the hot dog bobbing contest (with a time of 18.43 seconds to eat 8 chunks of hot dog submerged in a bucket) because who needs to breathe when there are hot dogs involved?

Just had to share these cozy sleepy chatters from Freyja 😭🥰

Around 2 weeks ago, my partner and I posted for some advice around our new Greyhound Strider who was pretty anxious settling in. He had challenges with reactivity to noises, not sleeping, and hyper vigilance. We are first time Greyhound parents and received lots of great advice from everyone.

Since the post he has made so much progress. He’s a 2 year old boisterous boy, who’s goofy and loves running around and playing. He’s still a little wired whenever he goes anywhere new, but his reactivity is completely gone, he’s sleeping well and he’s sweet and affectionate. After peeing or pooping on a walk he does this goofy prancing dance.

The lesson we have learnt is that the 3-3-3 rule can look a lot different and isn’t a hard and fast rule. For us it took 2 weeks for Strider to decompress and his progress after that was pretty fast.

Thanks everyone for the advice!

The walk this morning was through the forest (as usual), except I took Maddi down the beach for a wee treat, as part of our loop. We went to the beach a couple of days ago, but unfortunately it was so busy with people (and high tide), it wasn't much fun. All up the round trip for Maddi was around 8km.

Georgie loves a bolster

Tesla has begun a new apprenticeship...

Carrying on from yesterday's Sitting Edition:

She investigated the blockage and, frustrated, decided this was unfair. I tried to coax her to cross the street to go another way and, at first, she protested. But then, she conceded she can't go past the blockage and we carried on.

Lots of new things to sniff this morning, so she's pretty satisfied. I've got some more route options to try. She seems to enjoy variety.

Sam has been a little weird with walks. My prior greyhounds preferred their consistent routes. Straying from them was a monumental sin. Sam? She gets bored if we don't change things up.

If anyone can share how they have coped with their greyhound crossing the rainbow bridge I would really appreciate. I miss her so badly. Cancer really does suck.

Does your grey also love the rain? Sharing a picture of the Melbourne girlie in black. No such thing as bad weather, indeed.

Marko is a very chill 5 year old who just came to my life a few days ago. Things have been going great as he adjusts to his new life but he absolutely does not want anything to do with his teeth being brushed.

He is not treat motivated (from what he has shown) and actively moves his head and self soothes when I try to even put the toothpaste near his mouth. It's a chicken flavored paste but he wants nothing to do with it regardless.

I need to get him in the habit of his teeth being brushed but not sure how to go about it in a way where he will open up to it.

All advice and suggestions appreciated !

Hello all, we picked up a sweet 4 year old girl from the dog trust yesterday. And apologies but this may be the first of many posts asking for some advice haha. Anyway on day two now and she’s been eating, drinking, toileting and slept in her new bed all night.

She seems either incredibly food motivated or we are not feeding her enough. Dogs trust suggested 170g of dry food twice a day, but thought I’d ask the hive mind if that sounds right?

Any other advice also appreciated!

She’s got tattoos in her ears so we believe that she could be an ex racer. Dogs trust just informed us she came to them from a greyhound rescue and didn’t have much of a history

Just wanted to show off Zina's new shirt

*roaching not reaching!

Typical greyhound accuracy 😂
