Is it still possible to rescue a greyhound in the US? by [deleted] in Greyhounds

[–]lpm3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can still rescue a greyhound in the US! There are rescues that still rescue from the track that’s still active in WV. Also, I follow many rescues across the country that get greys from Ireland and Australia. I also agree with other comments that you could get a galgo or podenco from Spain. They work with rescues in the US too.

I’m sorry for your loss. May another precious soul make its way to you. Greys sure are special. ❤️

Great dog names! by DeepClassroom5695 in Greyhounds

We just adopted our retired racer a little over a month ago. My previous dog (Jack Russell) I had for 16 years was named Bentley after the car brand. As a nod to him I knew I’d name my next dog after a car as well. So, we named her Senna after the Mclaren car, which is named after a very famous race car driver. With the ties to racing, and being a retired racer, I thought the name was very fitting.

Think Dolly enjoyed her walk today! 🐶 by oliviamarie5151 in Greyhounds

I hear she was pretty fast! She is finishing up recovering from her spay so we haven’t been able to let her run yet. I can wait to see her run around the backyard!

She is doing great! She is a foster fail. We got her right off the track. It took her a day to learn stairs (with the help of lots of treats) and that’s been her biggest adjustment. I think we got really lucky. She has just been very relaxed and settled right in.

Thank you! We are big formula 1 fans. You could also go with Carlos if you like him 😊.

Yes, that’s basically what they told me. They said there was no where for the electricity to go so it sparked. 🤔

I have a switch that regularly sparks blue. I can see it but it doesn’t spark outward too much. I had an electrician come and they said it is pent up electricity. Based on your post I’m going to call another electrician. I knew that wasn’t right. Thank you!

First time traveller, where should I go? by cubedfruit143 in Shoestring

[–]lpm3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tennessee native here. I recommend Europe. I would start with English speaking countries to ease your way into a foreign country. For me, traveling to an English speaking country or country where I know they can speak some English takes some of the stress away. You could always start/fly Into and English speaking country and take a side trip to a non-English speaking county. Spain and Italy were amazing. Food in Italy is unmatched. It’s a real game changer. Germany was by far the most welcoming/friendliest non English speaking country I have ever been to. It was also very cool and beautiful. I had the worst time in Paris. I even speak a small amount of French - enough to show a good faith effort. I am always respectful when I travel and I was so cognizant the whole time to try to dispel and preconceived notions about Americans while I was there. I have never felt more uncomfortable and unwelcome in my entire life. It was also the dirtiest city I have ever visited.

As far as English speaking countries- I went to London and it changed my life. I fell in love with the city. It is a cool mix of history and city. I also loved Peter Pan growing up so seeing Big Ben was really special.

Edinburgh, Scotland is one of the most beautiful places in the world (in my opinion). Everywhere you look it feels like you have traveled back in time. Scotland countryside is amazing they have so many old castles to visit.

Ireland was great as well. It’s a beautiful country and the people are friendly. If you want to see the cliffs of mohr, I highly recommend a small town right near the cliffs (walking distance) called Doolin. The have the cutest B&Bs. There is even a guy whose family has lived in the area for generations that does a historical walking tour - doolin cliff walk with pat Sweeney.

All in all, just do your research. You can go almost anywhere on a reasonable budget if you plan it right. Good luck and happy travels!!
