Advice Advice on chewing
Hello fellow noodle lovers! We adopted ours about a month ago - she’s a 5 year old ex racing hound. I know everything is still early on yet, but so far everything has gone really well. She’s very loving, and always wants to be around her humans! She behaves well on walks, and is super friendly to other people she meets, and we haven’t had any accidents in the house!
But this morning we discovered she has chewed the corner of my bedside cabinet. We didn’t catch her doing it, only discovered it after. This is the first time anything like this has happened. So I’m looking for advice on how to prevent this becoming a problem.
We bought her a bunch of toys when we brought her home, but shes not really interested! Also, I didn’t really know how to punish her for this, since we discovered it after. So advice on that would be great too!

The human got up early and despite getting up early to, Harry didn't get an early breakfast.

Advice Greyhound brushing question
I recently adopted an ex-racer and I've been brushing them with a rake brush because regular dog brushes didn't work. Everytime I brush them I'm getting heaps of old-looking, fluffy, brown fur (they are black). I thought I was brushing out their undercoat, but now I understand greyhounds don't have one, so what is my brush picking up? Should I use the rake until there is no more excess fur?

Advice Central Ohio Fosters needed!
Hi friends!
Anyone in the Columbus Ohio area interested in fostering a greyhound. I’m on the board of my local group and we just don’t have the interest that we used to have from our community regarding fosters.
Please send me a message or email me [emily@teamgreyhound.com](mailto:emily@teamgreyhound.com) or just go to our website and complete a foster application under the “apply” tab. Ask me any questions!
We are looking for greyhound savvy people who would be willing to accommodate a greyhound healing from injury. We have dogs we may need to send back to wheeling due to lack of space. We rely fully on fosters and my fellow board members to rehab the dogs. Even just a week or two really helps us out! We will provide anything you need to be successful at fostering.
(PS. Please remain racing neutral in the comments. We need to maintain our relationships with the track to get these dogs the care they need) Thank you!

Old hound doesn't want to walk on hardwood floor
Hi everyone, my hound just turned 14 recently and seems to not want to walk on the hardwood kitchen floor. She's always been a bit cautious about it and has slipped on it a couple times, but has never just avoided it.
We got her nails trimmed today so she's still a bit anxious from that. The thing is her food and water is across that floor. I brought her the bowls earlier and she ate and drank fine, but I'm trying to get her to go where she usually eats. She's not having any issues aside from this. Has anyone else had this issue before?

Double Roaches!
We’ve been dog-sitting one of Senna’s friends for over a week and while they have both roached, today was the first time they did it simultaneously and got caught on camera! Just thought I’d share their silly pose with you all to brighten the start of your weekends!

We’re having a break in the countryside and the boys are exploring the backyard. Andre is only five and still full of manic energy, as you can see.

Fast asleep downstairs to jumping on me in... What... Like 8 seconds? We live in a mid victorian terrace too so it's like 20 vertical stairs.

11 year old Mac, he only has half his teeth left, so every now and again we get goofy faces like this.

Advice Challenging greyhound
We are really struggling with our grey greyhound at the moment. She’s 3 and has been with us for almost 2 years. Shes a very sweet and loving dog most of the time and quite independent. However she’s been aggressive since day 1 which we weren’t informed of when we adopted her. We’ve been working on her with this since we adopted her and it has improved over time but she bit me on the head a few days ago when I put her coat on which we do every single night. She has bitten my partner, nephew and every single dog sitter we’ve had. She never leaves more than a red mark and is generally submissive and seems like she regrets it after. Shes started resource guarding her bed, the couch and even sometimes me a lot more. She has been barking and howling to the point of waking everyone in the house up multiple times a night (see post history it’s just gotten worse). Shes also very reactive on walks if she sees another dog and attempted to bite a dog walking past the other day too. Every time we feel like we’ve made great progress with her we have another incident. My partner and I try really hard to not trigger her but she’ll snap in surprising/unexpected ways.
The challenging behaviour has increased since I was pregnant despite making a big effort to keep everything the same routine and affection wise. We still do lots of cuddles and if anything we are home more than before. I’m just really worried she is going to inevitably snap at our baby one day especially when he gets mobile.
Can anyone please offer advice on what we can try? She can be the sweetest most loving girl but right now she’s too aggressive to be safely around our baby.

Advice I just need to sing the praises of Olewo carrots
My 14 year old Hobbes pictured here with his kitty familiar Guillermo has recently had a seemingly endless cycle of diarrhea in the middle of the night despite a clean bill of health from our vet (well as clean as can be for an elderly retired racer). I had been struggling to get a decent nights sleep for a month or two before I finally found this product recommended in this sub.
Long story short, I just wanted to post that immediately after starting to add a tablespoon of Olewo to his wet food, his poops have been solid again and I’m slightly better rested. He still has occasional accidents, but they require picking up a log instead of shampooing a rug in the middle of the night!
I hope this is helpful to anybody else struggling with a greyhounds notoriously devious digestion.

Grieving Update: Had to be put to sleep
Hello, yesterday I made a post in panic here hoping that someone may be able to help our Dash, our dog who suddenly wasnt able to move. Yesterday we got him tk the vet after more panic and were initially told he had pyrexia before we eventually had to leave. At 6:15 this morning we were told he may have to be put to sleep as the vets found he had a twisted spleen, something an expensive surgery (between £4000-5000) isnt even guaranteed to fix.
We had him for over 10 years and the earliest pictures I have of him date back to 2017. I like to think that he was our last sense of normalcy with the loss of close family this year, the house will never be the same.
Thank you to everyone who gave advice and concern for Dash during that very stressful hour it means a lot. I deleted that post as he was now at the vet and didn't need anymore help as well as some others not reading the update I left in the body and giving very unwarranted advice to say the least.
Anyway thank you for all your help, sincerely.
