Lovely pic. I'm just worried that greyhounds have a naturally strong prey instinct. In any case, when the time comes I was thinking of taking old dogs for the blind as I've learned they get retired and replaced and need homes where they can just be.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
Just picked Dudley up from the vets where he has been since first thing this morning. He started having sickness and diarrhoea over the weekend and really deteriorated over night. I stayed with him in the kitchen all through the night as he had to go out pretty much every 10 minutes or so. He's been on a drip and several injections and medications through the day. They thought he would be better off at home for the night and still has his cannula in as they plan on putting him back on the drip again tomorrow. Poor little lad.
Oh no Dudley. Hooe is enjoying his home comforts tonight and feels better soon.
Love Cody, WillDB - hope he will be a fantastic pet for you. I would love a retired Greyhound or guide dog... not until the kittens have grown up though.
Thanks folks. He's definitely on the mend so I'm sure he'll be back to his mischievous self soon.
Vet thinks it was probably something he ate Obelixx. He went for a walk to a local park on the Saturday morning. Last year there was a spate of dogs taken ill by eating sausages that had been poisoned so hopefully that hasn't started up again. More likely he just ate something off the ground that didn't agree with him.
Funnily enough, our dog trainer spent quite a lot of time on exercises to make dogs leave food alone until they had permission to eat it - designed to protect them from nasties on walkies but also snatching food dropped if they accompanied owners to cafés and such, especially with kids about. Our Wheaten terrier type listens but the Lab is a real gannet and less restrained.
She also thought they should know how to greet other animals and had cats, a large rabbit, a cockerel and some parrots who would join classes so dogs could learn when not to go near and which end to sniff. Hilarious sometimes. Ever seen a cat tell a Rhodesian Ridgeback where he gets off?

Dudley is home and much improved so they decided not to put on the drip for a second day so the cannula is out and he's resting up.
That's great news for little Dudley.
I am pleased to have help with the laundry sorting today!
Thank you George!
Poor Dudley. Any idea what caused it? Hope he recovers well and soon.
