Did he have a raincoat on if not that might help as he will not get so wet.

Just a thought, but could it be something to do with what you wash your sheetings/pillow cases in? Perhaps she likes the taste of them. Mand x

Hi there, my 3 do it as well, just like Ina says, it almost sends them into a trance! Buddy is the best at licking odd things...walls...the floor...sofa...his bed, and yet he isn't really a licky dog, if he really loves you you might get 1 lick on the nose, that's it! I tend to leave them too it unless I think they might make their paw sore or wear the wall out (!), then I just say "I think that's enough now" and they stop...just a funny quirk maybe?! x

Charlie also lies there licking his fleece blanket (ewwww) and he's usually got his eyes shut so I just leave him to it. Seems to just relax him! Don't think its anything to worry about cindy xxxxxx

Cindy, my Toby licks his bedding , not all the time but sometimes he will lie there and happily lick and lick, he seems very contented when he does it and he is certainly not stressed when it happens, seems it had almost a hypnotic effect on him, have no idea why he does it but as he does not seem stressed when he does i don;t worry about it...ich hoffe es geht euch allen gut? alles liebe..Ina xxx

Char

my heart goes out to Char as he is bound to be very sad to miss his home and also to his mum who must be devastated...however he is a gorgeous boy and is used to be in a home so hopefully someone will fall in love with him and give him a home very soon...sad though 🙁 xxxx

Hi cinders, when we adopted ellie in feb we bought a greyhound soft toy from ruth at the kennel, as soon as ellie had it she immediatly started to knibble at it, ever since then she does it all the time , from what ruth told me as i had never had a grey before this is what bitches do to there puppies they "knibble at them", ellie is constantly always knibbling at the toy. not sure about the cotton sheets and pillows though, Ann and ellie-may.x

Just a question as we're curious about something... a few weeks ago Mia has started nibbling on the cotton sheets and pillow cases where she sleeps (on our beds of course!) it's not a problem, she never does any damage (apart from a slightly soggy pillow!) but does anyone know why she does it? She's definitley not hungry(!) she's fed on Burns, has lots of toys to chew and lots of hard chews as treats. It can't be boredom as she gets 3 good walks a day and she isn't left alone for too long and has her greyhound sister for company; in fact when she started it was towards the end of our summer holiday from school when she was hardly having any time without us at all. If it's just a sort of "hobby", it's no problem - it's just that she looks a bit frantic when she does it so hopefully it isn't as sign of anxiety or anything? She never does it downstairs on the sofa or anything, only when she's lying on cotton on the beds upstairs!! And she only started a few weeks ago when we'd had her nearly 6 months. Thanks - just curious!

Soooo a whole week at home, it feels like has always been here...today we went for a walk and it rained...blue was LESS than impressed and froze on the spot...my husband had to coax him ALL the way home!! I dont think i will plan anymore rainy day walks for a while!! I actually think he could smell the rain coming as he wasnt hius happy usual self on the walk at all... He is continuing to settle really well, sleeps all night soundly without a peep downstairs, his character is starting to show more and more and he deffinatly has a stubborn streak! I have some more photos so I will email them in for you to see incase you want to see more! :o) A really lovely boy xxx

Pearl
I’m Homed
So, Pearl made it home, had her dinner (nothing wrong with her appetite!), did her business outside, had a good look around her new home (but hasn't tackled the stairs yet!). She had her coat brushed, her new jacket put on and went for a nice long walk and she behaved very well. Now she is lying on the rug where she hasn't moved from in the past hour!! All good so far 🙂 x
