My husbands' grandmother used to adopt retired Greyhounds and all of us fell in love with each one. That prompted us to look into rescue only we went for the big dogs. Great Danes!<br /><br />Dogs can bring such unexpected joy to our lives. They give more love than you'll know. <br /><br />I can't wait to see more pic's of him!Susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-10410277239674058142011-11-28T21:51:08.297-05:002011-11-28T21:51:08.297-05:00A greyhound is a really great dog--my family has h...A greyhound is a really great dog--my family has had several retired racers.

I'm so excited for you and B, and Roddy is one lucky hound! You have such a fun adventure ahead of you as you see Roddy's personality unfold as he settles in. <br /><br />A few greyhound tips: If you're not crating, muzzle when you're not home for awhile, to make sure he doesn't anxiety chew while you're gone. <br /><br />For the upset tummies (greyhound digestion is as sensitive as ours - LOL), keep a good stock of canned pure pumpkin in the pantry. When poos get loose, just put a couple scoops on their dinner. Ours gets a spoonful every day because she loves it so. <br /><br />Collars - bling out your hound with Martingale collars to suit their style...they have a gentle choke on them, which you need in case your hound gets spooked by something. Those sleek heads can slide right out of a normal collar. My fave vendor: http://www.2houndsdesign.com/<br /><br />Coats - If you live somewhere with cold weather, your hound is going to need a couple of coats - we have a fleece jacket from Gini: http://www.greyhoundfashions.com/ for fall, and a very distinguished winter coat from Chilly Dogs: http://chillydogs.ca/. When it gets really cold, she wears the fleece under the winter coat. <br /><br />Salty paws - If they salt sidewalks where you live, and you walk a lot, Mushers Secret is the answer - just rub some of the balm into their feet and between their toes to prevent salt from cracking Roddy's sensitive paws. <br /><br />And if you have any questions, reach out! I want to see lots more photos of your handsome boy!Jenn Sutherlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07893324648208270313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-55288152464845611102011-11-28T15:31:21.470-05:002011-11-28T15:31:21.470-05:00Congratulations on becoming a dog owner.
