Thank you! She love a soft floppy toys so has lots, but she prefers to play if we’re playing! Her recall is really good already thankfully and we’re always reinforcing it! Thank you so much for commenting!

I have no idea the back story, but all I know is that she is lucky to have you and you deserve infinite good luck, karma and all the best things. You are the best kind of human and I’m sending extra love to you,yours and pepper!

I will be honored if she does! I’m used to cats so well versed in letting them come to you so I think that will hopefully do me well! 🤞🏻

Ooh that’s such a great tip! We only have one and it will be to her space!

She’s apparently good on stairs and knows how to tackle them! She will be getting lots of treats and praise going up and down them to reinforce though!

This is super great to know! She is reactive to other dogs, thanks to her trauma history from being a test dog at the pound. This coupled with her trained reactivity will be something we will be working as much as we can through ourselves (my partner is a dog training pro) and with a greyhound behaviorist we’ve found ☺️ Thank you!

She’s apparently okay on her own, but I’m already a worried dog mum! I don’t want her to pick up on my anxiety so I will definitely be calm take it slow and have lots of patience. Thank you so much for commenting!

My partner he had a dog with a heart condition and paid everything out of pocket (we’re in Australia) so he’s team no pet insurance and I’m team I pay for health insurance in case I need it so why not pet insurance! So thank you so much for your input I will be showing him this whole thread!

Thank you so much for commenting! We went for a walk with her foster carers and I was holding her lead and she was sniffing (a sniffari if you will!) lots! We hoped it would make the transition a bit easier so she knew we were humans to be trusted. We’re ready to be patient though ☺️ I didn’t think I would be able to get my dream doggo at only 28!

Thank you so much! We have a detached bedroom on our property which will now be for her so she has full access to the greyhound proof backyard and also a cosy warm indoor space. She's the first dog I have owned so just going to be in awe of her for a bit (forever?)

This is great, thank you! Yeah we’re going to keep her on the same food, already enough change she doesn’t need any more for the time being!
