I took the beautiful Nora to the vets this morning also as she had a swelling come up on her neck. After speaking to her trainer it was thought it was just a blocked salivary gland. However, today a large amount of murky blood was syringed out of the swelling and we have been advised for her to have the swelling investigated. She has therefore been booked for her operation next Friday 🙁

He is so lovely and he is my Jet's brother. Had to give him a cuddle today. Hope to see him at Daybreaks (unless he gets a home first) when we pop up for supplies.

Hi littlemoe. Doesn't sound like you're doing an awful job to me, sounds like you're doing just fine, you're taking time to understand Walter and work with him to overcome his issues. As you can see, sharing your concerns is the best thing, there are the most amazing people out there who read these comments and can offer up their advice or share their stories. You're never alone - it's more like a big family than a kennels! Good luck to you all and let us know how you get on. Mand, Gent & Emily xx

It sounds like you are doing all the right things with lovely Walter, as you know it is a massive change for him and will take a while for him to adjust. Its so lovely he has fallen on his paws and bagged a sofa with some one so under- standing Im sure in time you will both work it out. 🙂 xxx

Thanks for all of the reassurance. I am working to Walters pace & avoiding holding his gaze as it may be a sign of affection from me but he doesnt share that view at the moment! I am stopping any fuss when any of the stress signs start to show.It seems to be having a positive effect & he came & put his head on my knee for cuddles last night (I was so delighted!). He had sone ear scratches from me & then started to lick his lips & yawn so I stopped & he went off to bed. I can tell he likes them but needs to be more sure of me first. I know there is a chilled boy who wants to be loved & have some cuddles in there, he just needs lots of time to adjust. Feeling less wary of him now I know what to look for. I spoke to Julie who was really helpful & we are going to her class tomorrow & she is coming to our house for a 121 seesion too. She has also recommended a chiropracter as Walters leg is still hurting him - Andre has given him tablets to help with this too. Fiona has also been a huge support so I am feeling a lot happier that I am not doing an awful job. Still feel bad that he has been trying to tell me that he doesnt want all of my cuddles since he arrived before Christmas & I have been blissfully unaware that I have been stressing him out. In fact, its testimony to his good nature that he has only snapped at me a couple of times. He has put up with a lot so it goes to show what amazing dogs these are. Bless him, I know if I come back to read this in 6 to 12 months time I will smile at how worried I have been about it all as he will be a settled boy by then. x

I know exactly how you feel littlemoe, our first greyhound growled at me soon after we had him & I was frightened of him for a while, even though I'd never been scared by a dog before. Looking back, he was probably stressed that his life had changed completely & he was struggling to cope. Walter's lucky you are understanding & trying to help him. In time he (& you) will settle down; that's what happened in my case & we currently have our 3rd & 4th greys!! Good luck.

Zac
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Zac is a very good problem solver. At feeding time yesterday, some food bounced out of the bowl and rolled under the bars of the run. He had a sniff, then put his paw through the bar and scraped it towards him until it rolled back under the bars and he could pick up his prize! It was lovely to watch the determination he had not to let any food escape him! So not only is Zac a stunning looking boy, he's a bit of a clever paws too, bless him! xxx

Walter

Hello Thought that I would respond to this as have a bit of experience with this. Rose, our beautiful greyhound did not like me or my husband cudding her too much for quite some time when we adopted her. She would move her head away from us so quickly and back away, we think it is just the way she is, unlike our two boys who are quite the opposite. I think it was because she raced for a very long time, spent a long time in kennels and was just unsure of people. She is now more responsive and loving towards us both now but she can still be unsure. I would say not worry about it too much, although it can be unnerving, I think Walter will accept your cuddles over time, it will be a new world for him right now. Best wishes.
