  good thread. never waxing (philishave ftw) but admire the dedication of those that do

  might go for squirt for that waxing-without-the-hassle vibe

  another good thing about greys is there's an ancestry.com for them. here's our old dog:

  yes - insurance essential. let me tell you (again from bitter experience), MRI scans are......... expensive. like, "good bike" expensive

  in the interests of continued balance - greys can also sometimes suffer from separation anxiety (so do many dogs). think this is because ex-racers are used to having people (trainers etc) round most of the day. in our case, this manifested itself as quite loud howling when left during the initial period after we got her (quite a big issue when you live side-by-side with neighbours in a tenement flat).

  we eventually trained this out of her over a course of a few months, using frozen kongs packed with treats and liver paste. this took her mind off our absence at least for the most difficult first 15 minutes

  presume there's no real breakthrough... just varadkar canny enough to know not to feed the BJ victimhood complex. also feeds raging brexiteer paranoia

  I’m definitely pro-older greyhound

  another good thing about them is they typically don’t shed too much

  only fair to mention that (I think due to genetics) the breed can be susceptible to bone cancers. I’m sure this is the case w many breeds but I only have experience w greys... and from bitter bitter experience losing one to cancer was one of the worst things to happen to me ever.

  sounds corny but they are descended from angels - truly are the sweetest dopey dogs
