What a lucky owner ☺️. As well. Just keep your eyes open when she's on the lead, if there are squirrels or rabbits in your area. Greyhounds have truly astonishing acceleration, and if you are not paying attention, you will bite the dust.

My Girlfriend till I ADOPTED HER & She Became My WIFE .. And She Could Not and Be NOT,, Without a Greyhound and we had Three of them. Till King came inside that day,,, he told us something was really wrong. He kept putting his head under Debi's {my wife} hand and flipping it to his neck. Then he would Leap Forward. Her hand would slide to his butt area. And King would stick his Tail Up & Out. So her hand was stop by that area. After the third or fourth time Debi Rubbed that area. We thought his Hips were Hurting. We had some aspirins type for dogs. But that was Not it at all.

I adopted one a few years ago. She's gone now, but she was so full of personality. I had to take her out once a day and let her get her zoomies out, then the rest of the time she was a couch loaf. These animals need to be loved and pampered. If I could have dogs now, I'd do it again.

I have a rescued Italian Greyhound. I got him as a 12 week old puppy. He literally saved my life 6 times now with no official training at all. I’ve had several dogs in my day and he is the most precious, loving and awesome dog that I’ve ever had the honor to have by my side. I treat him like the King that he is and we have a beautiful life together…. God Bless you abs your new Greyhound. She deserves all the live and rest that you can provide!!!

Greyhounds are amazing dogs, I know this from experience. They are forever grateful for their homes. When you adopt them from a track, you are giving them their very first home. Look up how they are treated when they are racers and you'll understand. GH make great apt dogs believe or not. I can't say enough good things about these dogs. My GH,"Biggie Talls” ,gave me so much joy. I miss him everyday.

The way the dog 🐕 is lounging, is the way it should always be. It is so cruel they make these dogs do this. Good luck to all of you that have been rescued.

They don't end up in kennels. They have to be adopted-out by special organizations. Usually, they just get put down once they can't run as fast anymore.

To find out how to deal with increased anxiety levels and whether our beloved pets could be the best antidote for our troubles, we reached out to Shari Botwin, LCSW. She is a trauma specialist, therapist, speaker, and author of Thriving After Trauma: Stories of Living and Healing.

Needless to say, it’s important to follow the news and show our support to people in need. However, "Staying connected to the media hours a day and seeing images of violence, despair and loss can change the course of somebody’s day, week, or even life," Botwin told Bored Panda.

It seems that human beings are hardwired to feel some amount of empathy and sorrow for others going through adversities. We may not be physically present, but we still feel our hearts race and our emotions going on high alert. "People report that when they are attached to social media, they experience many more feelings of depression, anxiety, and some even develop PTSD just from seeing images of trauma," the therapist explained.

Hearing devastating news can lead to feeling unrest and worry, which is completely justified. Yet, we need to detect these feelings before things get out of hand. Botwin said that if you notice your eating habits changing, or that you’re struggling to sleep or want to sleep all the time — "that’s an indication that your stress levels are going through the roof."

She told us that when we’re feeling anxious, tension levels might also increase in our relationships. "For instance, some people report that when they’re really stressed out, they end up taking it out on the people that they love the most." While emotions might be heightened, it’s important to remember that our loved ones are there to support and help us deal with traumatic events, so snapping at them could damage your connection to them.

"It is so easy to get caught up in the news of the world. Being mindful and aware of how much time you spend on social media is very important," she suggested. "Even when there are horrible things happening around us, ultimately, it is still most important that we take good care of ourselves."

Luckily, our adorable four-legged friends are always there to help us. According to research by the American Psychological Association, pet owners had greater self-esteem and were more physically fit, more extroverted, and less lonely and fearful than non-owners. "Pets benefit the lives of their owners, both psychologically and physically, by serving as an important source of social support," the researchers wrote.

Shari Botwin agrees with this line of thinking. "Through the years, I have met so many clients that have adopted cats and dogs, and then have told me it’s changed the course of their lives moving forward. When people struggle with things like depression, anxiety, and PTSD, they use their pets as a source of comfort and hope," she told Bored Panda.

"In my life earlier, when I was in recovery from extensive childhood abuse, I adopted a dog. On many occasions, I had a choice to act on feelings of self-destruction or look at my dog and say she is the thing that needs me, and this is why I will continue to take good care of myself. Some people will tell their animals: 'You are the reason I am still alive!'".

So if you are "feeling unsafe or that your world is unraveling in front of you, be sure to find ways to create safety." Botwin advised you to stay connected to the people you love the most: "Call someone. FaceTime someone. Find a place in your home that makes you feel comfortable and spend time there when you feel anxious."

"Grab a hold of your pet and think about all the love you feel between you and your animal family member," she suggested. After all, there’s nothing like looking at our four-legged friends to feel those positive emotions coming into our daily lives. And if you don’t have a furry companion by your side, looking at this list might inspire you to become a pet owner yourself.

Please start grooming your fluff ball. At a young age they get used to it quite quickly. My fluff rescue is three and thinks I'm breaking the Geneva Convention every time a take hold of a brush.

Hope you have another, they really do much better with familiar four legged company. Our humane society will not let people adopt just one

Give her some time. No better feeling than the first time your shy cat comes to you for cuddles.

He needed some time to adapt and make sure he's safe. I think he's got it now :)

Some useful tips, adopting siblings are great, however, they can be a bit tougher to train because they have such a strong bond. When you walk them, put one on each side of you, same for training. Good luck and congratulations

Please don't do this. Those feeders turn into 2 foot fishes or you'll stunt them and they'll die quick. I have "feeder comets" that I've had for a decade and they are in a 9 foot (800 gallon) tank and 500 gallon 2 person tub. I have around 9 of them, 4 off them were rescued from rescuers that had this same idea. Please be prepared. My largest is 25 inches smallest is a dwarf and 9 inches but fins make it 16. Goldfish are truly pond fish not meant for traditional (mass marketed) aquariums. Black moors, bubble eyed, fantails and pearlscales are really the only goldfish that can be kept in normal home aquariums of 30+ gallons.
