fish are much harder to care for than greyhounds, weekly water changes. constantly testing the water to get everything just right. adding this and that. having sudden deaths and cant figure out why. ect ect

When it is possible, we are going to rescue and adopt a greyhound. Can't do it yet because we have two cats and we don't have the appropriate place or space that they would need. However, we have joined up with a greyhound adoption agency and financially support them.

good on you!

while your waiting you can enjoy many great videos just by typing 'adopting a greyhound' into youtube.

as you know my boy FOO is happily living with a very sporty cat named ROSIE.

getting a greyhound thats ok with a cat/s takes longer but it can be done.

also mine is indoors all the time and he doesnt get in the way,

Hi David. I think that (pet) greyhounds are more like cats in a funny sort of way than they are dogs .. they are so gentle and affectionate; we have two sets of friends who have one each and their dogs are just gorgeously polite, handsome and friendly. We get to take them for walks from time to time and we have a great time.

It's not an option for us to adopt yet though, but it certainly will be in a couple of years for sure ...

I've know people in the cat world who have also had greyhounds.

Also I've been told by them that greyhounds are not particularly active dogs. Far from it in fact. Get one who likes cats and what you've got is an even more combined effort to take over your favourite lounge suite.

Years ago I knew someone who found a dumped greyhound in the bush and took her home. She was extremely friendly and sweet natured, and a most gorgeous fawn/tan sort of colour. She was also very grateful to be taken in and it was soon like they'd had her for years. It's been a long time but Vale Honey.

How wonderfully that greyhound and kitten play together ... The kitten isn't totally convinced yet, but it sure looks like the cat is going to be the boss in the end ... love the way the dog uses his nose to push the cat along like a little ramrod ...

Clearly the greyhound wants to play. Talk about excited! From the way he is not reacting to being biffed on the nose I assume the kitten has clipped claws. 🙂 One thing cats learn from an early age...the best way to try to control a dog is to give it a blood nose.

with my FOO he really has never taken much notice of Rosie and her antics.

he does his thing, that being a big log on the floor, she being herself, mostly lounging around but every now and then having spaz attacks.

she will go 'potty' then race from the front of the house thru to the bedrooms at top speed and back again, over or under anything in the way.

if FOO is there she willl run right over him!

other times she will just walk right up to him when hes got his head on the rug and flop on his nose!

or when hes standing wander in and out between his legs, tail up!

he really takes no notice.

not once in 7 years have i seen him get even slightly annoyed.

as i have said many times, hes the best dog i have ever been with.
