9 - Precious Radar

-
When we go on walks with Precious, it is full radar alert time.  The ears go up, face forward, and the sight tracking begins.  There is not one sound she doesn't respond to.  She has exceptional hearing.  Not a big fan of trash trucks and school buses.  However, she's done really well with other dogs.  Interested, but non aggressive.  She's a good girl...

Hi. I think there was a question related to Precious and greyhounds in general. About our experience with how controllable they are, etc. From our experience so far, although powerful, greyhounds (really just speaking about Precious) are not "uncontrollable." She's pulled no more than any other dog on a leash and has settled into walking nicely. I think having a loop around your wrist is a must, since their reaction time is so quick, in case something happens. At first, she was interested in small animals but since we've walked and met many types of dogs and animals along the way, she's accepted them as part of her routine. As far as having a greyhound in a screened in porch etc. that is hard to answer without seeing the location. However, in my opinion, I would not rely on just a screen for enclosure. Precious has been very respectful of gates so they certainly work, at least for her. Overall, from what I've experienced, they are relaxed, even tempered companions.

16 - Molly Days

Molly has been slowly opening up to us each day a bit more.  Yesterday, unprompted, she sat down with the kids on the floor and laid her head on Suzanne's leg.  She did this about three times.  She's still does not like to be disturbed when she is sleeping so we've learned to leave her be.  We also found a bone she likes to chew finally as other ones we got her were not a big hit.  Although she loves all food, not everything agrees with her stomach.  Its been a bit of a struggle to find the right food for her but Purina Pro Plan Sport (suggested by Gail from GPAD) seems to be the right choice.  We noticed an immediate improvement.  I can't say it works well for every greyhound off the track, but for Molly, it certainly has.  Oh, and she chewed through two cords so far that were plugged in to the wall (thus our quest to find her chew bones).  But, with a face like this how can you stay mad?
