.. and a wonderful pond and garden! The yellow looks to be a real monster size. Do your dogs like to bath in the pond?
This is my new pup. She is nearly 3 years old but I've only had her about half of that. She is a Cattledog X Australian Shepherd.

Ever since childhood, any male dogs I am around become viciously protective of me, follow me around and sometimes try to hump me. (even the fixed ones)I have to admit I'm slightly jealous of this. I want to love on pretty much every dog I meet, but most of them won't come near me. (June 11, 2013 at 8:36 pm)popeyespappy Wrote: Hey xenu! Didn't know you had wondered over too.Heh. I can hardly resist a thread about dogs.

I have a 1 year old cat named Artemis. I want a dog, too, but I don't have enough space for one. My apartment is DAMN SMALL.
I've added a second one since last year.
Here they are sharing a tender moment. (June 11, 2013 at 8:46 pm)futilethewinds Wrote: I have a 1 year old cat named Artemis. I want a dog, too, but I don't have enough space for one. My apartment is DAMN SMALL. Greyhounds don't take up much space. Its their damn toys that get you.

Quote:Greyhounds don't take up much space. Whenever we do an adoption event they always put us next to the greyhounds - alphabetical order...go...gr, not many combinations in between. Both Goldens and Greyhounds are quiet breeds. They stand there looking at each other except for the occasional butt sniff. There is a greyhound track down by Tucson and their president and I were swapping stories one time and she told me that most of the dogs they take in have leg fractures from the strain of racing. The breeders - damn them all to be forced to drink lava - have bred them so that their bones are so light and brittle that they can't stand the pounding of what they are breeding them to do. So much for intelligent fucking design. (June 11, 2013 at 9:38 pm)Minimalist Wrote:Pops broke both his hocks during his 77 race professional career. He will be 13 next month and is much the worse for all the wear and tear. I'm not convinced the problem is thin brittle bones as much as it is those huge freaking rear biceps. Racing greys do have one thing going for them in the breeding department. Polygenic traits like hip dysplasia that affect a large number of other pure breeds are practically unheard of in racers.Quote:Greyhounds don't take up much space. That adoption group is special if most of the hounds they get are special needs. Pop's surgery on his last broken hock ran about $4,000 and that was in 04.

Yeah - they do a lot of fundraising..as we do. We have a series of vets in Phoenix, Tucson and Prescott who are in our "stable." We get a significant discount in exchange for bringing them our business. I'm sure Greyhound Rescue has the same arrangement with an orthopedic specialist.
