This time with a family that has another older grey. Also, four people live at home so there will usually be someone to keep her company. She seemed to get along well with all of them. I had just taught her to give me her paw, so she kept giving it to each family member. Too cute!
I'll miss that spotted dog again! Too quiet here, though I'm glad the fur output will be down a third for a little while...

Another stoic grey...
Tarty got her nails clipped yesterday and didn't flinch. I don't think she had any idea that I was doing anything unusual. This is great, because greyhound nails can grow very long and some greys HATE having their nails clipped. I had a male grey like this, and I had to take him to the vet every time for a clipping. Tarty also is fine with getting her teeth brushed. They're in pretty good shape--also good since many greys have horrible plaque and breath.

Tartan
Relaxing by the fire after a long walk in the snow! Tartan is really chill. She's very easygoing and I think it's going to take a few more weeks for her personality to fully come through. She plays a little with the toys, but once we try to get involved, she drops them and goes back to her bed. However, today, she played tug of war with me, so that was great!

All about Tartan
Even though she's 5.5 y/o, Tartan has only been off the track a few months. Every day we learn more about her. For instance,
Tartan's Likes
Tartan's Likes
- Being petted, snuggled with or hugged, or touched anywhere
- Scanning the horizon for cats
- Pulling out every last squeak toy in the basket
- Rooing with other greys, whether real or online
- Being forced to walk for exercise without stopping to smell the p-mail
- Being locked in the spare bedroom while she ate so the other dogs don't steal it. It was the one and only time she peed inside...
If you like cuddly, affectionate dogs, this is the one for you!
