Hey Eric- Greyhounds ROCK!!
Can't adopt one yet - we've already got more animals than our lease allows...shhhh!! Don't tell!
But we DO volunteer every few weekends to go and spend time socializing the ones at a rescue near us. The dogs need to be taught what a couch is, what a door is, what stairs are...they've spent ALL their lives at the track in kennels and have never SEEN the stuff you'd find in a house!! It's unbeleivable...and really funny trying to teach them to walk up the stairs
They do need a lot of affection - they are very clingy dogs. Everything's a miracle to them, and they need constant reassurance.
They are ALSO the BIGGEST couch potatos on EARTH!! They run for 15 minutes and theyre out for 2 days.... anything soft man, no chair/pillow/couch is safe!!! It shall emmediatly be claimed by a dog 3 times your size!! :joy:
E-mail me if you want more info - I could go on for hours. We're going to adopt in 6 mos when we move to a place with better pet policies, I've got bajillions of links you can check out with info!!!
