Greyhound updates
Mar. 13th, 2024 11:09 pmSo the Big Red Greyhound did not prove cat-friendly upon further assessment and he's probably be better with another confident dog in the house anyway.
We didn't make it to the GAP adoption day nearby but they didn't have any cat-friendlies that day. We might have gone just for cuddles but Mum has been helping Roz with a huge clear-out project and they were coming up the deadline to the council clean-up pick-up.
There was another GAP adoption day the next weekend at a different location an hour away and a possible boy there but it was pouring rain and Mum wasn't comfortable driving up the freeway in that. He was adopted quicky - and so were the two cat-friendly puppies! A 4-month-old boy, blind in one eye, and an 8-month-old boy with growth plate issues in his front legs. We cooed over their photos - all legs and nose, absolutely adorable - but we were resolute. Not a puppy. Greyhound puppies are just as insane as any other breed.
I was deeply disappointed not to at least get some cuddles - I have't even seen a greyhound since Miss Shadow died - but we talked to Tina again last week and she picked up a cat-friendly girl on Sunday and we're going to visit her at her foster home tomorrow. I have a dentist appointment and said foster home is about two minutes away. Hound is young and unraced and very affectionate, so we'll see. I was leaning towards a boy but this girl looks nothing like Miss Shadow, which helps. I do like the big, rangy boys but Mum feels our new place is just too small for a bigger hound.
