Brought Jake and Barley to an outdoor festival. We ran into another greyhound. The dogs all seemed so smart and active, with how they just stood next to each other, and well... ok that’s all they did was stand there and breathe.

Sparty has been really sick with bloody diarrhea. Hoping it's just a clostridium infection and not HGE. He's been acting mostly ok, just pooping problems luckily, but if things don't improve he might need to be hospitalized

Maybe try giving him some spoonfuls of plain pumpkin purée to bind the poo up a little?

I've wanted to adopt a greyhound for years now but I've currently got a couple of pound mutts. I'm thinking about putting in an application with a local a greyhound adoption agency. I'm fairly close to Florida and I feel like there may be more dogs who need homes over the next couple of years or so.

Greyhounds get along great with other dogs in my experience, and having some friends already can help some dogs transition off the track. Thanks for all the well wishes! Sparty has stopped with the diarrhea mostly, and is enjoying his soft mushy prescription food with rice and all the people worried about him This is his sick face:

Clarification from a Floridian: dog racing wasn't banned, but gambling on it was - the midterms saw a general move to cracking down on gambling in the state. Granted, shutting down gambling on dog racing probably will kill the practice in the state. On the other hand, lurking in this thread let me persuade my grandparents to look into rescuing a greyhound here in Florida.  Their current dog is getting old, and they wanted something other than a golden retriever this time. They'd never heard of adopting retired racers, and thought greyhounds were 24/7 bundles of hyperactive energy. My grandmother told me yesterday that they're pretty sure they'll look into a greyhound when their current dog passes.

Me too  Sparty update: he's back to his normal bouncy self. Seems like it was a Clostridium infection of some kind, because the antibiotics and probiotics seem to have cleared it up. I'm sure the rice and pumpkin helped, though.

I love seeing everyone's hounds! It's the best present, in my opinion, so in that spirit: Time for another Sparty photo dump! It's cold now, so that means lots of cuddling   Very cuddling   It is quite exhausting  Happy holidays from Sparty!

Our whippet Mr. Tubbs in a dignified repose: Getting much more patient with the baby (now toddler). Lots of praise when she pets him and he's not so nervous around her anymore:

No offense, but photos of hounds being off-leash outdoors always make me a little nervous. The idea is that when a grey decides to run after something, they are so fast that they are out of earshot within 3-4 seconds. I think we actually signed something with AAGI that said we wouldn’t have them off leash in a non-enclosed area ever. But if your hounds have good recall and stick around you consistently, by all means, let them enjoy freedom

I've heard the same horror stories about greyhounds running away and then getting lost, but in our case we're either walking in a large group of people and dogs which tend to stick quite close to us, or we're walking in areas she knows quite well. It also helps that she thinks recall is a great excuse to run back at great speed.

 Meet Mabel. We adopted her a week ago after reading this thread and I’m so glad we did. She really is the best dog and, so far, seems to be settling in well, spending most of her time sleeping or slumped against us. Best dog ever

Got Remy's teeth cleaned recently, and they had to remove several. I tried for a while to work down the buildup but after a certain point it was just untouchable. Was very much $$$, but had to be done, and he's no longer scratching at his teeth. Here's Remy looking at me sadly, upset that the couch is occupied:  Immediately after moving my bag:

Oh my gosh Mabel is gorgeous Glad to hear Remy is doing better! Spartacus is doing a weird thing where he insists on being pressed against my leg, then growls when I have the audacity to fidget or move at all. He was also being growly and grumbly in his sleep

Lately Spartacus has just smelled vaguely of pee because he keeps going to the same post and dumping like a racehorse so it's a disgusting muddy mess all the time  this despite wiping his feet and toes every timeOutside that he has a pleasant neutral scent
