Congratulations on your new furbaby and welcome to the board.
My greyhound Shaianne, crossed to the bridge on 9-13-01. She was my treasure. She wasn't an exracer, she wasn't rescued from a greyhound adoption, I found her at the local humane society. But she still didn't know how to play and if I was on the floor she was in my lap. She was a social butterfly and loved everyone.
She never played like a retreiver or lab, if I tried to play tug a war with her she would let me take it and sit and look at me like "what for did you do that!!!" She loved to play in the snow, she would put her nose in the snow and off she would go when she would stand up she would have snow all over her nose, too bad I never got a picture. She would throw her fleece toys around but that is as far as it went.
She didn't like Kongs unless they were stuffed with something, and unlike Jessica's 3 greys, she wanted nothing to do with nylabones or gumabones. If I threw a ball for her she would look at me like " Yeah and now you go get it."
The one thing she absolutely loved was a treat ball, that you put food or tiny treats in and chase it all over, I had one at my parents and at home. She even stole the cat's treat ball that did that!
Good luck with your new baby, I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the plight of those gentle, special creatures.
I tell everyone, if they want a good companion, get a greyhound. They are wonderful spirited dogs.
