  1. Poppy was under a general anesthesia today for a dental scale and polish, and she did really well.

    She's still having a little difficulty regulating her temperature, which is totally normal (normal for people too!), and is a bit more subdued than usual, but that's more to do with how everything was very different today... she's a dog-of-habit.

  6. Who said greyhounds can't learn tricks?!

    We've been working on getting Poppy to catch treats.. it's taken a couple of weeks, but she's got pmuch a 100% success rate now (which is a far cry from when it was basically her just watching them hit her in the face...)

    Mia has pmuch always had a 100% success rate with this, because she's so clever and food motivated.

  11. Day 2 of hiding the dogs inside from the weather. It's been hovering around 0° with windchill all day, and has started heading into the negatives... and it's only 4pm.

    They've murdered their ruffle mats and we've done a whole bunch of training to try and tire them out... will it work? We'll find out around 6.30pm, which is when they start getting toey before dinner and giving everyone a hard time.

    [my guess is no...]

  16. Some greyhounds have a thing called Sleep Startle. Poppy has it. It's basically that they're used to being caged for long periods, and sleeping uninterrupted.. so they sleep very deeply and wake with a "startle" reflex (startle is putting it cutely!)

    At the moment I'm solo-patenting because my housemate is in Adelaide until Monday. Mia has been sleeping in my room (she usually sleeps with my housemate), and Poppy is sleeping in my office (where she usually sleeps, away from everything.. so she doesn't get startled awake). I usually sleep with my door closed, but because Mia is in my room I've been keeping my door open so she can get a drink if she needs it.

    Last night Mia got out of her bed and curled up under my bed, which she does if she gets anxious or hears a noise outside.. that's fine (apparently I'm the house guard dog). But also Poppy decided to wander into my room and go to sleep on Mia's bed.

    I didn't realise until I snapped awake at 5.30am, about 2 seconds after Poppy woke up with a sleep startle which involved leaping after Mia. The fight only lasted a second, and was broken up by me yelling and throwing a pillow at both of them.

    But today I'm nursing two edgy dogs, because neither of them understand what happened, and a twisted back because a 52 year old ex-nurse does NOT have the spinal health for bouncing out of bed that quickly.

    How's your weekend starting?

  21. When sirens go past, the entire neighbourhood of dogs howl.. you can hear it coming from blocks away, and the noise of it all gets closer as the sirens move through the neighbourhood.

    Ours don't usually howl.. Mia will bark if there's something happening outside, and Poppy occasionally gives out the legendary GSoD (greyhound scream of death) for... whatever reason she decides. But I've never really heard either of them howl before today.

  26. Poppy just caught two biscuits!

    Mia catches treats out of the air all the time, but Poppy just stares at them while they hit her in the face. Today she actually caught two of them!

    Apparently today is her turn for the Greyhound Communal Braincell. Sorry everyone else who owns a greyhound... I guess you've had a bad day.

  31. Poppy caught her dewclaw running through the backyard in the dark last night.. whenever she poops, she takes off running like she's just expelled demons and they're trying to get back in!

    There's no blood, and it doesn't look split or cracked at all... my guess is that she just gave it a yank and she's leaning I to the Dramatic Greyhound™️ trope.

    She's not limping (she did for half a beat last night when she did it), but she yelps if I touch it. She's fine when she touches it though.

    Anyways, I've booked her in for a vet visit next week to get her grippers clippered, because she's got black nails and I don't want to risk cutting down to the quick.
