Adopted a Greyhound

[mssl72]

My Uncle had a Saluki when I was younger. I remember going to the park and when my Uncle took off the leash she took off like a shot! There was a German Shepherd that wanted to run and play with with her, but could not keep up at all. Greyhounds and Salukis run like Top-Fuel dragsters! Post a video when you can they are something else when in motion.

Karen is wanting to get another Greyhound someday. From what I have read they like the company of another. How long has your sister in law had Skiddy Octane and Zack?

Please post a video....I'd love to see him streching and warming up then when he's ready getting set in the blocks and waiting for the starter pistol(or the sound of your voice).



You need to take him to the dog park and let him pump up his chest and strut his stuff. Parallels the feeling we get on the way to the local cruise!

This is funny because he ran right back to the patio door wanting to get back into the warm house




I will post a real good one later.

He is getting comfortable around us, perhaps too comfortable

From the AP......

SYDNEY (AFP) – A pet dog that fell overboard in rough seas off Australia has been reunited with its owners after surviving alone on an island for four months, reports said.

Sophie Tucker, apparently named after a late US entertainer, fell overboard as Jan Griffith and her family sailed through choppy waters off the northeast Queensland coast in November.

The dog was believed to have drowned and Griffith said the family was devastated.

But out of sight of the family, Sophie Tucker was swimming doggedly and finally made it to St Bees Island, five nautical miles away, and began the sort of life popularised by the TV reality show "Survivor."

She was returned to her family last week when Griffith contacted rangers who had captured a dog that had been living off feral goats on the largely uninhabited island, in the faint hope it might be their long-lost pet.

When the Griffiths met the rangers' boat bringing the dog to the mainland they found that it was indeed Sophie Tucker on board.

"We called the dog and she started whimpering and banging the cage and they let her out and she just about flattened us," Griffith told the national AAP news agency.

"She wriggled around like a mad thing."

Griffith said that when the dog was first spotted on the island she had been in poor condition.

"And then all of a sudden she started to look good and it was when the rangers had found baby goat carcasses so she'd started eating baby goats," she said.

Sophie Tucker, a member of the Australian cattle dog breed, had been quick to readjust to the comforts of home, complete with airconditioning, Griffiths said.

"She surprised us all. She was a house dog and look what she's done, she's swum over five nautical miles, she's managed to live off the land all on her own," Griffiths said.

"We wish she could talk, we truly do."

Wow, that is amazing!

We added one more yesterday. Hanna is a 7 year old female Greyhound that we adopted from the Sighthound Adoption Center.



Blaze now has a friend to be with too.
