I was setting up a new tent in the back yard to get practice before actually camping with it.  It appears to be... acceptable. (We had to go back into the house to get him to leave. He was in full-on nap mode after this picture was taken)

DarkHorse posted:I was setting up a new tent in the back yard to get practice before actually camping with it. haha wow, he seems pretty thrilled! Hopefully he didn't stretch his legs along the ground and unintentionally nick/slice open the tent bottom, since I just know Tazo would do just that, given the opportunity!  Speaking of him, he finally destroyed his squeaky ball/toy the other day (after around four months at least, from memory. A new record! Certainly beats four weeks at most), so I got him a new one for outdoors, as well as a stuffed warthog for when he's inside. I didn't think the warthog would last long (especially as it turns out that it makes this odd snort-ish noise when it's squeezed), but it's actually still perfectly fine, after a few days of constant love and abuse. He actually refuses to go to bed now, unless if he's allowed to take the warthog with him, even! He'll just clamp down on it and refuse to budge, haha  The little rascal also doesn't like it when I try and take the warthog either; both when he's it's just laying on the ground nearby, or when he's been playing with it. He'll just bolt upright, then block my hand with his snout, and clamp his paw down on top of the warthog. He's a funny one; since when he's laying down with it, he always grabs it/clings to it like a teddy.

Thread lurker here, why do greyhounds always look like you just eviscerated their teddy bear in front of them and then canceled Christmas forever?

All sighthounds are hard to read imo. I think it's the big eye/droopy ear combo.

Yeah, because their eyes are set forward and their snouts are narrow for improved vision, sight hounds just tend to have big looking eyes. Add floppy, droopy ears and they often look really sad. At least with their mouths closed. They have some silly happy grins, and when Sparty has his ears up he looks like an adorable clown

I have some sad news. Last Friday, Casey passed away unexpectedly. We think it was most likely a blood clot. At around 11pm we let the dogs out into the back yard, and he ran outside as enthusiastically as always. About 2 minutes later I went to let them back in and he was unresponsive. We have an emergency vet just down the street, and they tried CPR but it was too late. At least since it was so sudden he couldn't have suffered. It's been a difficult week for me and Rhoga. Casey was full of enthusiasm and always made his presence known. So there are a lot of little things that remind me of his absence. Like how every time I got dressed, he would come nose my legs while I was trying to put on pants. Here's my favorite picture of Casey. Rhoga took it on Tess's birthday two years ago:  This big dummy didn't realize he was too large to sit on my lap. He did this on his own, I didn't pull him over:  What's personal space?   You can see in that last photo he had a bandage on his foot, from one of his many foot injuries. He really loved to run, and overdid it sometimes. Tennis balls were his favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK0-Al5nCmU He was a good boy.

I'm so sorry : he was a beautiful boy and I'm sure he loved you tremendously. Please give Tess lots of fuss. It is awful when a pet dies but we can get some comfort from the remaining ones.

Thanks for your kind words, everyone. Here's some pictures of Tess, since she's been helping to comfort us. I mean look at this weirdo!  She loves pillows, and made one out of the pair of comforters we have on the spare bed. They're supposed to keep her off the sheets, whoops.  She even has her own pillow!  And here she is being a desk dog.

Can't let that pretty Abby hound around alone, after all!  More seriously, the rescue we got Spartacus from just sent out an email; apparently an owner died unexpectedly and his 10 year old lady hound needs a new home. The story of her missing her human is killing me and I have to keep reminding myself not to get another dog

So, just wondering - do any of your long doggos cross their forelegs, when lounging about? Since Tazo does that all the time, when having a relax inside. Here he is having a very serious snooze, after sparring with his warthog in the study. No, not playing - serious dogs conducting serious business don't 'play', thank you very much (Normally his other leg is actually folded closer to his chest as well, rather than sticking straight out - so it does genuinely look a lot like he's crossing his arms, haha)

I have never seen Spartacus do that, though occasionally all four legs get tangled up in a big mess on the couch. However, inspired by Taz and his warthog as well as Sparty stealing a plush spider my spouse had, I bought him a new toy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOI2ygr60Pw It was a solid fifteen minutes of this, by the end of which he was so excited he did his little spin-out thing I showed in another video, then he crashed on the tile for a nap. I think he likes it

Those plushies (well, some of them at least) seem to be deceptively durable, which is handy.On that topic, hopefully he didn't do too much damage to that spider, either! haha And yeah, that's odd. Maybe he's seen me cross my arms a lot, and figured he'd give it a go, heh.

Major Isoor posted:hahah, it certainly seems like it! It has sentimental value so we're glad it wasn't seriously damaged. As for the lion: a couple rips and tears, and stuffing out of one of the legs, plus a lot of hair from the mane is gone. Honestly it's going pretty well for what I expected, and I think Sparty just enjoys mouthing it, unlike Cookie who must shred and destroy any and all toys. That quacking noise is really weird, and there are regular squeakers in it too. She's still the better dog because she limits her destruction explicitly to her toys, unlike Mr. I will eat books and cardboard boxes and tear open plastic bags on the table

(Slightly late) Happy birthday, Wren! Pretty lucky, getting that burger Oh, and your post reminded me; the 22nd was the one year anniversary of me fostering (then later formally adopting) Tazo!  Although li'l Taz is a year older, he still hates being told to go to bed just as much, as above. Although he's still going to end up sleeping, (indoors, at that) so I'm not sure what the big deal is, he just doesn't like being anywhere other than in the study - preferably with me there, too.
