Default For Mustang Sally

While Greyhounds are anything but new to you, Roy is the first
to spend significant time with my dogs. In his first few
daycare hours here, he's shown himself to a real gentleman.

Unfortunately, I've been unable to get pictures of him where
he's not sniffing or preparing to sniff.

Roy's a tall boy, standing at least 3 inches higher than 24"
Rocky.

I had to share this picture I took seconds ago. Roy seems to
have settled in quite nicely, though he doesn't seem to like the
sheets and blankets on my bed.

awww! maybe he's related to harriet? she shoves and/or
tucks, depending on whether she's hot or cold. i finally gave
up on making my bed, because there seemed to be no point.

(that'll learn me to not read the whole thread.)

Wow, he's got quite a lot of scars. (Take him to a meet & greet and
everyone will ask if that's where they beat him to make him run.)
That Greyhound skin peels off the dog like skin off a grape, and the
scars really show on the fawns. He's still a very handsome boy,
though. Most US ex-racers are very good with other dogs, due to the
way they're raised. There's such variation in sizes of NGA dogs - -
males can be as short as my Zeke, who's only 26" tall (but unusually
broad) to 32". The average is about 28". Size is much more uniform
in AKC Greyhounds.

Has Roy been around other dog breeds much? It's always funny to watch
them the first time they meet another breed and realize it's a dog.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, and I hope Roy continues to be a
pleasant addition to your daycare family.

Clearing the bed is some ex-racers' idea of exercise. They have an
instinctive knack for finding the softest place in the house. It's
really kind of uncanny, because they'll find that softest place within
minutes of entering a house for the first time in their lives.

Roy does look like a biggish Greyhound.

He'll be here for another 4 days. I'm going to measure him - he
stands about 4 inches over Rocky, so that'd make Roy about 27 or
28 inches.

I asked that question of his owner when she picked him: No, Roy
doesn't meet many dogs so she may continue to bring him here
once or twice a week after the regular home dog
walker/visitor/pee-er comes back from vacation.

It was an eclectic group here today, and Roy got along
especially well with Timmy, the CKCS. I don't think that Friday
knows that Roy is a dog.

Most ex-racers not only get along with other dogs, but really enjoy
their company, some to the extent that they don't do well at all as
only dogs.

And vice versa, perhaps. Pictures of Roy with the CKCS would be
appreciated.
