We bought a dog!
Samson Facts:
Breed: English Greyhound (He's retired from racing and seems to be very healthy)
Last race: August 2013
Age: 4.5 years
Color: Red Brindle
Height: Huge
Weight: Almost 80 lbs
Temperment: Very calm, very affectionate, very skiddish around new things, and very stubborn (it's like pushing a cow into his kennel when we go to leave the house)
He doesn't know commands yet but is learning to "come." And he doesn't know how to play with a ball yet either but loves to toss and wrestle with his fuzzy stuffed toys (but only for 10 minutes and then he goes back to sleep). He sleeps up to 18 hours a day and he's finally starting to run and play when we take him to our friend's house who have 2 big dogs. He walks really well on a leash and leans on you when you pet him.
Living in a kennel all of his life, he's never been in a home so this last week has consisted of getting him used to things and sounds and setting boundaries. Overall, we could not have asked for a better dog!
