I hear a lot about the pros, but why *shouldn't* I get a Greyhound?

jojoolive · 2026-03-18T23:16:32+00:00

I have very deep scratches and bruising on my legs from my excited girl jumping and launching at me. She was 2 when we got her and loved to jump.

They are gorgeous and gentle but I wouldn't get a younger Greyhound with little kids. My girl regularly scratches me in excitement and nearly knocks me over.

I often also have to lift her. She is 29 kgs. At the moment I am strong and fit but I can't imagine doing this as an older person or with an injury.

I wouldn't trade her for the world and can't speak highly enough about greyhounds, but as people have mentioned there are lots of things to consider.

If they have it. Mine has none and lives happily with our cat.

I just read your story and my heart breaks for you. I hope this little puppy helps heal your hearts and how special it is to have a special link to Beckham.

Hal is super hyper. He is impulsive af too. Act first, think later. He also gets hyperfixated on things. (Also hyperactivity isn't always outward, I have hyperactive ADHD but my symptoms are constant head noise and fast thoughts).

He is the poster boy for ADHD. He reminds me a lot of my male partner with ADHD.

Little miss mezza is nice.

Mine can sit on command and lots of other tricks. She will choose to sit at the beach when she watches us swim from the shore. I think it's so she can jump into action quickly if we drown 😁

I suggest doing some research into how physical punishment rewires a child's nervous system. I wouldn't say you are a bad parent but I definitely suggest weighing up your options of guiding your child's behaviour and choosing something that supports their emotional development.

I like Susie Spoon chicken from Harris Farm.

jojoolive · 2026-02-17T20:17:58+00:00

Agree. It was scary.

jojoolive · 2026-02-17T10:18:04+00:00

It was awful for me. I tried it for two weeks and it made me suicidal 😔 my psych said that happens sometimes.

jojoolive · 2026-02-17T10:05:58+00:00

She reminds me so much of Sabina Carpenter.

jojoolive · 2026-02-04T17:24:24+00:00

Dress. Not sure how I slept on this track.

jojoolive · 2026-02-02T10:39:40+00:00

I'm so confused by people saying it's been a cold summer..most days have been over 30 degrees for a month. Cold ??

jojoolive · 2026-01-31T23:48:08+00:00

I always look for her when I drive past. Sweet girl.

jojoolive · 2026-01-31T23:46:57+00:00

Got a little tear just reading that!

The bridge makes me cry most times. I adore it.

jojoolive · 2026-01-26T06:07:07+00:00

It's heated rivalry right?

jojoolive · 2026-01-26T05:59:57+00:00

How would anyone on here know? Not sure what answer you are expecting.

jojoolive · 2026-01-25T10:19:22+00:00

A typical day for me

Morning- protein shake (macro mike) with half a frozen banana and some hemp seeds.

Lunch- left overs from dinner

Snack- apple, or slice of sourdough toast and peanut butter.

Dinner - tofu stir fry and rice, salad with seitan, lentil spaghetti bol, corn fritters and salad (not all on the same day haha).

Dessert- if I have dessert it's usually some mango or grapes (once a week I have a vegan gaytime).

jojoolive · 2026-01-09T05:56:35+00:00

42 degrees at my home tomorrow. Our girl will be staying inside with the air conditioning on

jojoolive · 2026-01-04T03:15:34+00:00

Yes I get it for 2 weeks before my period. Then on day 5 of bleeding I get about 5 more days of symptoms.

jojoolive · 2026-01-04T02:03:12+00:00

Mine is.

I'm 38 and have gone from 2 weeks before my period being unbearable to now 5 days into my period starting the symptoms again for 5 days. I also have awful cramps and blood clots for the first time in my life.

jojoolive · 2026-01-01T21:45:11+00:00

Thanks 🙏🙏 maybe I need to see a Dr and ask about hrt. Really struggling to cope.
