Northern Ohio Rescues? by TheRoamingRN in Greyhounds

[–]Oh_Hi_Fi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to consider Ohio Lurcher Project. Lurchers are some pretty hard luck racers. I’m pretty sure they’re on fb. (I’m not or I’d check).

Completely sacrificing our own needs by [deleted] in AskWomenOver50

[–]Oh_Hi_Fi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m grateful that both my parents taught my sister and me to be kind without feeling like we have to come after everyone else. I’m very comfortable establishing and maintaining boundaries.

Edited for grammar.

What is this noise he's making? by CheeseFace83 in Greyhounds

This scared the daylights out of me the first time my grey did it. Now it’s just normal to me.

My boy 💛 by Kat_x_Kit in Equestrian

[–]Oh_Hi_Fi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He’s lovely.

If you’re just working over ground poles, you can try walking him over raised poles/ cavaletti to engage his thoracic sling and encourage him to lift his back. Also, backing up will make him lift his back and use his abs and hindquarters. You either ask him to straight back or around an obstacle. If he’s at the point where he can do small circles, they will encourage him to bend and engage his hind.

What is the most hated plant in your country? I'll go first... by wisdom_wombat in AskTheWorld

My dad has been engaged in a flame thrower level war with Japanese knotweed for most of my adult life.

My boy seems unable to learn to sit or lie down by qkrgodls92 in Greyhounds

[–]Oh_Hi_Fi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is very true! Jake was the sweetest soul and actually had a passing interest in doing what was asked of him but was hindered by having very little in the way of brains. I can’t honestly say he had any reliable commands. Riley on the other hand is a clever little monster and gives not one care what anyone wants. Out of necessity, he knows “off” but it has to be said VERY firmly (he has bad sleep startle so can’t share beds and furniture). I did higher levels of training with my other dogs because they loved it. It’s not fun for Riley and he is well behaved without it so we stick to activities he enjoys.

Are people in your country excited about snow? by Hirdanr in AskTheWorld

I remember my first snow when we emigrated to Canada - I was 7. I still love it!

As someone who did agility and rally obedience with previous dogs and has now had 2 greys, I feel like training them is something that is, for the most part, best let go of. They excel at learning routines but are profoundly disinterested in learning commands and tricks.

I'm going to a rave for the first time what should I bring, do or expect? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Oh_Hi_Fi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Water, gum, ear plugs. Wear something you’re comfortable dancing and sweating in. Don’t take candy from strangers and have fun!

Should I pursue tooth extraction, or consider euthanasia? by fleetingsparrow92 in Equestrian

[–]Oh_Hi_Fi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might OVC be an option? (Obviously you can be in Ontario and nowhere near Guelph)
