It's been awhile since I've been in the LR. I thought I'd see what you guys thought about this. We recently had to put our Rhodesian Ridgeback to sleep due to extreme pain from a back injury, arthritis, cancer and being 11+ years old. Very hard thing to do. Some of you may remember a very old thread on the "Big Puppy". Well, that "puppy" is now a 9 year old Bull Mastiff/ Boxer mix that had lived with the Ridgeback since he was 9 weeks old. He is a bit bewildered and really misses his friend. We had recently, before the Ridgeback got injured and was still doing pretty well, considered adopting a Greyhound since the amendment banning racing passed in November. There isn't a flood of greyhounds yet but when the tracks start closing there probably will be.
We are working with a group out of, of all places, Gainesville to get a cat safe dog. They have been great and we'll probably get one soon. My question is has anyone in the LR adopted one or had greyhound(s)? What are your experiences with them, especially with regard to cats and other small dogs? Mickey, The Big Puppy, went to meet and greet yesterday with 5 or 6 greyhounds and loved being with other dogs. They seemed to get along great with him. Just concerned since we have 3 cats.
Our son Sam, who many of you shared thoughts, prayers and gave support to when he was going through cancer treatment back in 2007/8 is now 22 and graduated from FSU in December with a B.S in Political Science. May 5th he'll be 11 years cancer free.
