I do have to agree with that. A daily walk is most preferable. A walk every other day is the absolute minimum. Without proper exercise, you're going to see those rock hard muscles wither away and it's not beneficial to the Grey.

In my honest opinion, at this day and time, at this very moment, a greyhound adoption agency would not adopt out to you, Bri. It *does* have to do with Roxy and Lily because agencies would prefer to see that all current dogs are receiving the utmost care, i.e. sleeping inside, daily walks, hearty meals everyday, etc. etc. Your adoption agency will most likely give you a brief lecture on good/bad dog food (mine did) and if you explain to them that you cannot afford better food than Pedigree, they will question whether or not you can afford another dog. From the little that I've heard, Roxy is barely halfway to where she should be. A new addition (a greyhound) isn't going to fix that. =/

Q: Can greyhounds sit pretty?
A: No idea! I've never seen a grey sit pretty for an extended amount of time, but Giselle can do it briefly when she's really excited over a really nummy treat. She'll briefly sit pretty and then fall back into a sit. Remember, ,most greys already have trouble sitting so I can't even imagine whut sitting pretty must feel like to them. I'm going to say, no, most greys probably couldn't sit pretty because of their anatomy, but it never hurts to try.
