Me and the Fiance rescued an elderly Greyhound today. Her name is Piper she is somewhere between 15 and 17 years old and the owner was no longer able to be home enough to watch and care for her due to his work. Car Ride home chilling with our two current dogs after the meeting. The Whippet decided to be uncooperative on the photo and decided to stand.  At home begging for a burger. The alpha cat decided that with her being distracted it was a prime opportunity to sniff her butt

Major Isoor posted:Aww, an excellent grey! And excellent other pets, too - that cat is definitely a clever one! We thought she would be very upset about being loaded in a strange car and taken away, but overall she has been extremely calm and integrated with the other two dogs immediately.

actionjackson posted:congrats! 15-17 is probably unlikely (i've only heard of one grey reaching 15 ever), does she have racing tattoos? No tattoos, we checked, and of course I don't know if she's actually that old but she is 100% up there in age And the former owner has been quite rightful bashed all over the facebook post where he put the dog up. She supposedly has bladder issues but held her urine the entire time she rode home (with her head stuck out the window the entire time.) and didn't pee my floor overnight... she does like to eat a lot of water so far. But first night went well, she slept on the floor instead of jumping into the bed, that may change since the other two lumps do climb in and shove us around so she might join in once she gets more comfortable, but she seemed to enjoy the dog bed at the foot of the bed so far.

Major Isoor posted:Oh also, be prepared to see her try to use tiny dog beds instead of using her (nearby and available) appropriately sized bed - at every opportunity, haha She did that the first night, curled up right into the whippets bed (whippet doesn't use as the whippet prefers OUR bed.)

actionjackson posted:the Australian greyhounds arrived at 4 am! there were logistical difficulties, but they are here! six black, one blue, one fawn Did they get burgers? We took our rescue greyhound to the vet we use, Vet thinks the owner is wrong on the age and she is more likely 12-14 years old. She also has absolutely no drive to chase things, just an absolutely chill potato, the only time she has shown any speed was when she fled from me trying to give her the pill for her bladder.

 Piper is not really a photo kind of dog so I have to bribe her with food to get her to even stay on camera.

david_a posted:It’s still kinda hot down here in KY so Katie got warm when we took our after-lunch walk. I found her afterwards like this: We have tile floors in my basement and also my sunroom, Piper loves to sprawl out on them where she can dump heat. And in the sunroom during bright clear days she finds the spots in the open for basking, then the shade for cooldown.

MrOnBicycle posted:I'm just curious, for how long do you leave your dogs alone? I've gotten the feeling that leaving your dog at home for a whole 8-9 hour work day is quite common in the US. I got three dogs, so they never really alone But also my mother is retired and lives with me so she is around most of the day. MAINLY my dogs sleep anyway, inside, outside, floor, dog bed, couch, regular bed, primarily potato anyway.

Yeah, the whippet is 11, we Rescued this year an already 12 year old Greyhound knowing that she could just be a walking bomb of death, It's better to just slow down your thoughts, realize and remember that they are not going to be with us forever, and to make the time they are with us as good as possible.

Radiation Cow posted:Dear sir/madam, I am a poor orphan greyhound whose "parents" will not let her on the couch, citing the pitiful excuse of no space. Can you please call the Hague and find me new owners to rectify this violation of my rights? Yours in suffering, Boudicca. I have a spare couch or two that could potentially provide temporary asylum to a good girl in need.

david_a posted:I’ve wondered if that shake is actually more intense than other dogs, but in any case it looks way more crazy because their long lanky legs go flying everywhere and they’re big enough that you can distinctly see the shake move backwards along their body Got a whippet and a greyhound, Whippets literally look like they are falling apart with their shake.

I'm sorry for the loss of your hound. I'm slightly dreading when my old girl's time comes even though she is about 13 and I know she's lived a long life already.
