^Please don't make thread asking for opinions and information, then throw a silly comment out like this.

Did you not expect people to bring your other dogs into the thread? You said you are considering adopting a grey in five years time, then post a pic and ask if that dog will fit into your household NOW? Of course people are going to say what they think, and if you don't like it, don't post things on a PUBLIC FORUM.

/\ for real, Jackie!

I feel that acting that way, is what escalates lots of your threads into arguements. People post because they care. You do not have to take the advice given, but at least respect our opinions as our own. When I ask for advice, I feel lucky when people offer me considerate, caring opinions, even if it's not what I want to hear... because in the end, everyone could just ignore it and say "Sure! w/e", and what good would that do?

I've never heard anything about Roxy being a wreck when she's indoors. Actually, the opposite. But honestly, wouldn't you think it's pretty reasonable for a dog who has lived her life outside to take some time to transition? It's a new world for her, per se, and she needs time to adjust. I have fostered a dog who was previously "outside", and within 2 weeks he could crash on the couch with the best of 'em.

I agree, well-said.

P.S. Giselle, ( or anyone else who knows ) Do you know weather greyhounds can " sit up pretty? "

She already answered the question...

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

Ah, I thought so. Just wondering. I didn't even see that post.

Well, I asked for opinions, not bashing, and did I ever ever ever EVER say I was actually getting one? NO. I said I was thinking, but of course I'm not getting one right now and you should have been smart enough to know that.
