kdf Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I've been thinking of him too. He reminds me of my boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterpaws Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I tried calling rspca with not a lot of luck Called, finally got through. They said they do not know his history and that he was fine when walking past a cat and didn't react when cat hissed at him. Then I started to ask more questions and was cut off somehow and they haven't answered when I have tried calling back This house is so small that I could not separate him from the cats at all, there just aren't enough rooms here. I might go down tomorrow (working today unfortunately) and meet him. GB does he still have it in him to chase the cats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazyWal Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 That's a bummer WP with the phone calls. I hope you can get to meet him tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his chasing days are well over but he does have a nice set of teeth for his age, so of course the safety of your puddies needs to be paramount. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I'm waiting to see how WP went, it might well be worth putting him on Iggy Rescue's Facebook page as a lot of our people love and own the Greys as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had more shares on the Egrey website than any other greyhound since it started, hoping it works out for him with WP but maybe put him on anyway dogmad.

Winterpaws Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 He's here at my place :) Settling in OK but not sure if he will fit in with everyone. He just growled at Pepe when Pepe went up to sniff him. Will see how we go over the next 24 hours He is uninterested in cats and had no interest at all in all the chickens who were running around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 So pleased he is out of the pound. Everything crossed that he will settle into his new life and get on with everybody. Well done WP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillbear Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Fingers crossed that he settles and sticks You are wonderful as always for giving him this chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterpaws Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I hope he sticks also, he seems a lost soul. It's almost like he is looking for his old owner who I understand is in hospital and no longer able to care for him. I am not sure of the full circumstances, but I wish his owner knew he was now OK and safe He seems to so far only have an issue with Pepe, our small dog. But only when he goes near him when he is sleeping. To be safe we are going to crate him overnight and when we can't watch him like a hawk. We had roast lamb for dinner and he was so gentle the way he took left overs from us :) He's got a new coat, new bed and seems to be settling in. He's a lot warmer than he was last night and has a warm fire going near him Apparently his old name was "dog" so he is now Bob the dog :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
