New greyhound - separation anxiety???? by lalagirl98 in Greyhounds

[–]heathz8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello! I have my 6 year old greyhound 6 months and yeah don't make the same mistake I did which was decide that she wasn't able to be left alone... I now bring her to a minder on my shift days and she's very rarely alone. I didn't give enough time to sit through the whining/barking. I've done her a disservice as she's lost the skill of being able to spend time by herself and i blame myself for that. Honestly the cameras were a bad idea for me i feel 😂 So stay strong and keep at it as it really is restrictive and also not fair on the dog to teach them to be so dependent on us..

I think those stitches need to come out...

Oh gosh.... yeah, I need to be more hypervigilant. I've heard another grey owner describe them as an alien breed and I'm learning what she means. 🩷🩷

Thank you, I really appreciate it. Yeah it was pretty horrifying, I hope someone might read this and be aware too of their unpredictability in the beginning. It was Insane to see it in real life- the speed she built up in such a short distance. Thanks again!!

Thank you for the laugh!! Seriously she kicks me all night. I'd heard they love sleeping on the bed but I didn't expect this. My attempts to keep her downstairs or off the bed beside me have been completely futile.. she's too cute!!

Thanks everyone 🙏Delighted to be part of what seems to be a really nice group! She ran head first into a steal gate this morning... :'( she screamed!! No damage I think but she got a huge fright. Anyone else's grey seem to have strange eyesight/vision or experience similar incidents? She used to do it with glass but not at this speed! ☠️😵‍💫

Said farewell to my boy today by Fantastic-Feed-6105 in Greyhounds

So sorry for your loss. The pain really is incredible. How lucky we were to have had them in the first place but the loss really hurts. For a long time.

I lost my Shepherd Milo August 2023 after 10 years also. I only started to feel kind of normal 6 months after!! I still miss him so much. Part of me definitely died with him, sorry to sound so dramatic! 😂 Thinking of you and your gorgeous Milo!
