This greyhound is far needier:
That said, it's a little beyond my budget to adopt it. Especially with all the IPSD sales about a month away...

If i didnt have a cat I always wanted to rescue a greyhound but they are trained to chase fuzzy little things ie my cat. maybe the next pet i adopt.
My sister is on her third Greyhound rescue. They’ve been wonderful dogs but many challenges. She’s what they needed.
I knew a lady with four of them. Totally sweet and utter goofballs. Not for everyone for a list of reasons, but when their "needs profile" is met they're almost magical.
One of my many aunts (the Seattle lesbian one) used to adopt retired racing greyhounds. They are nice dogs, very shy and quiet. They really enjoyed outrunning all the normy dogs at the park, you could see the smirk on their faces. One of them once broke a leg by running way too dang fast and slipping on wet grass.
Our new Great Danish Shepherd, Stormr, is enough dog for me. She is over 100 lbs and can hold me on the ground against my will. She gets the zoomies and can unintentionally destroy furniture. She is such a sweetheart though. I was amazed when A neighbor that has three pits told me that he was terrified of her. Ha ha.
She can be very gentle though, and I have seen her out catching and releasing butterflies in the garden.
But, greyhounds are cool. I had a friend who had a rescue back years ago, when they still had dog racing near by.

My new Catahoula puppy is 25# at 12 weeks old, he’s gonna be a big one, named him Buddy after one that passed away!
A friend had two, they required a lot of attention and care, particularly in the first year. They've never seen food they weren't eating - so you can't let any food out. My buddies got on top of his refrigerator where he had put a loaf of bread. They've never seen toys. If they get out, and see something, they run to it, then run to the next thing they see, and dont return. And they run fast.
We had a salesman that worked for us a while back, and she had miniature greyhounds. They were always breaking their fragile legs. Just jumping off a couch could seriously damage those things. I don't think the regular greyhounds are like that. But, I thought it was so weird to have a dog that was that fragile. I want a dog that can eat someone's face, ha ha.
This must be your fav iMovie haha
She is not as drooly, but yeh, I'd love to have a Mastiff.
My second cousin once removed has a greyhound and a whippet. They are incredibly hyper. Not as hyper as my German Shepherd or this damn boston terrier puppy who, for some reason, pees and poops in his cage. Doesn't do it anywhere else in the house the little bastard.
I have one already. She's a goof ball
This is cooper.
The German Sheperd is Bairr and the Boxer is Chewwi. Mom named them lol.
German Shepherds are just so intelligent looking. Stormr will set staring at me for a long while looking like she is trying to figure something out, like a math problem. Then she'll walk over and lick me in the nose, ha ha.
