If you saw him he was probably sitting in the out flow of Western lake

All those dogs are so cute. We lost our grayhound about a year ago and I'm starting to feel puppy fever coming on! Maybe I can get a shot for it. I'm just not ready yet, but they sure are fun to look at.

My parents had two Greyhounds. The sweetest dogs I have ever seen (well except for my two. Anyway, they make great loyal family members. I am sorry about your loss ktchris. I had to put my 12 year old doberman down 3 years ago. I am still not over it. I had her since she was 6 weeks old. I hope that you will be ready soon to get another fur baby. I have 2 more now and love so much. Take Care.

Thanks Kathy. It is hard. Everyone around me is getting puppies so I can get my fix. But I also just moved into a new house and thinking about my carpet

I crate trained my puppies it worked out great for the housebreaking part. Of course, it is like having a new baby around. I got up in the middle of the night with her and took her our if I heard her moving around. She would go potty then go right back to sleep in her crate. Just thought I would give you something else to think about!!!! The time will come when you are ready to do it again.

to deal with common problems like chewing, jumping up, and paper-training. The Art of Raising A Puppy
is an essential source of wisdom, information, and inspiration for anyone who loves and cares for a puppy.

The Monks of New Skete advocate the philosophy
that "understanding is the key to communication, and
compassion with your dog; whether it is a new puppy
or an old companion.

If and when we get another dog, it won't be a puppy. I'm a big fan of the rescued dogs. Grayhounds are my favorite. Now, it's just a time thing, both kids are in school, sad to think of a poor dog home in a crate all day by himself.
