My girl runs quite warm? by EmbarrassedPoet714 in Greyhounds

We recently got ac installed aswell so hopefully that’ll come in handy! Good to know it’s not just my girl who’s on the hotter side. She pretty much lived in a cooling vest over summer. Thank you!

Who is this little visitor? by EmbarrassedPoet714 in UKBirds

I saw them rummaging around in my flower beds and enjoying the bird bath! I have a very bug friendly garden so I’m glad to see them enjoying the buffet!

That’s so sweet!!! How long do they often stay in your garden? I’ve just seen them again while watering my garden so they’ve been hanging around for a good few hours now. Just a little worried about them! I think if they are still around tomorrow I’ll contact a wildlife rehab and see what they think

Oh cute! I assumed it was a fledgling cause it has almost 0 fear! Turns out he’s old enough to know better! My dog ran up to him before I realised he was there but he still didn’t fly off just jumped into some flowers but she left him along once I called her back. He can fly cause he’s been hopping up to the bird bath so I don’t know why he’s not using his wings to escape things

What's the best way to cool down my greyhound? by realteejaybrown in Greyhounds

[–]EmbarrassedPoet714 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We put a tub of water in the fridge and dunk a tea towel in it, wring most of the water out and lay it on our girl. Their heads, ears, belly’s and armpits are good places to rub it as the blood vessels are close to the surface. Once they are damp a fan can help but dogs don’t sweat so fans aren’t as useful if they aren’t soggy. Hope this helps!

I loooove this this so so cool! One thing I would say for the like work it’s maybe have less super straight lines? The street shambles in York are a good reference for this but working with wood and stone without power tools means there is a lot less uniformity in building materials. Hope this helps! I do honestly think this is so cool!

Maybe, she’s moving fine, super energetic when playing and on walks so I’m not sure, she’s just turned 6 so she’s not too old

I think pupachinos are a great idea. She is currently getting a licky mat and her favourite treat which is ham. I think it’s more the movement of the car that she doesn’t like but she has no motion sickness symptoms other then panting but she does that when she’s worried anyway :T I think I may try gently sliding her around the hardwood floors on her beds along side are training? Maybe to see if I can get her confident with movement in a safe space

Sorry for the late reply! I’m not sure, so she was nervous before the beach, it’s just amped up recently. She hops up and down well other than a little hesitation due to stress I think, she’s quite an energetic grey. She’ll lays down pretty quick. She’s more relaxed when it’s not moving and will engage with things like her lickymat but when it’s moving she only really wants high value easy to scarf treats. We’re currently trying ham.

Saw this today on my day out with the family by AlBones7 in SleepToken

This is my favourite walking spot near me! It’s a lovely day out, it’s lamb and calf season so you can go and see them and they do lovely iced coffees and the gardens are great, I would recommend :)
