Why Greyhounds make "Greyt" pets......



This past weekend was the one that was crazy, my house was like Grand Central. The Beast count was:

2 Greys (Karma and Shani)

2 Poodle Pups (Franklin and Sophie)

3 Cats (Bindii, Blue and Kitten)

2 Cockatiels (Ella and Spike)

Assorted fish..........

Also had friends up from Sydney as well as assorted "Spare" teenagers visiting. The Greys were amazing, the poodle pups are tiny and they abused the greyhounds no end. Franklin would climb up onto Karma and run across her back, bite her ear and jump all over her head. After about 10 minutes of abuse Karma would growl softly and then stand up and walk away quietly.

No problem to Franklin and Sophie as there was a second greyhound to abuse......poor Shani (Shonnie) took it like a champion. She actually played with these itsy bitsy balls of fluff! I was terrified and put her muzzle on but it wasn't really necessary. She ran around the garden with two bits of fluff persuing her and was so very gentle with them it was incredible. She allowed them to climb all over her and bite her ears.........way more tolerant than old Karma who just hid from them when the going got rough.

We are hoping Shani can stay and be our forever dog........

Is Shani going to get a cool african name too?!

It looks like Shani is looking at the poodles with curly hair envy.
