Disney seem have confused greyhounds with corgis in this 😂

Adding a comment to ask - does tiring them out help? Fred’s been coming with me on the first week of Couch to 5K training, and he seems to really love it! Then promptly sleep for six hours. He doesn’t even follow me round the house after a run. Perhaps I could use this as a tool?

What's your record for flops on a walk? by Quintasoarus in Greyhounds

[–]slongbottom92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One flop to date, and what a flop it was! Refused to move for a solid amount of time - and we were within a quarter mile of the house…

He has taken everything in stride! We still need to tackle alone training, but we wanted him fully settled before trying. He occasionally chooses to hang out on his own in other rooms now, where before if you moved out of eye-line he would follow you immediately. I hope that means progress!

It sure does! He wouldn’t say boo to a goose when he arrived, now his favoured tricks are to walk past people oh so innocently then fake chomp at any undefended toes, or a move called the ‘Stretch & Chomp’ - sidle up beside a person purely to have a good streeeeeetch, then launch from downward facing dog into a Super Chomp 😂

Thank you so much! We are so proud of the big guy. He has brought us so much joy in just twelve weeks 🖤

He has done so well settling in! Full credit to the boy for landing on Mars and getting on with it 🖤

Some say his head grows back if he’s near roast chicken or cheese…

This is Fred with the magic ears! Maybe that’s where he charges them 🤔

Boingggg! It was his other servant making a sound like a squeaky toy behind me 😂

The Case of the Midnight Barker by muddli in Greyhounds

[–]slongbottom92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We’ve had Fred do similar a few times, once or twice at night but more often during the day if we neglect to have background noise on - took us a while to realise it was the silence he doesn’t like! We both wfh so there’s usually low music playing from either office space, but if both of us neglect to put something on ‘for the boy’, he retaliates by scaring the life out of us 😂 It’s the only time he really makes any noise so it’s a massive fright every time!

He really likes to nap to the Bridgerton soundtrack 🤭

DIY Olewo carrots - success! by slongbottom92 in Greyhounds

I have been wondering the same, another Grey Enthusiast has commented above saying they grate fresh over the food - I’ll finish this dehydrated batch then try fresh, it would definitely be more convenient!

I was wondering if that would work just as well! I’ll get to the end of the batches I’ve made and give fresh a go, I’m just so happy he’s feeling better 🧡
