It's been interesting to watch the behaviour of our retired racing greyhound "Dreamy" who has now been with us for nearly 12 weeks. Having been formerly used to strict racing kennels routine, it's been a slow journey to retrain her to a domestic routine - for the time that she's awake, because greyhounds sleep for England!!! In the house and garden she is beginning to have reasonable recall, but I keep her on a lead at all times on walks, until such time as we find an "enclosed field" where we can safely let her off the lead.

Sadly, on New Year's Eve she was scared shitless by mortar type fireworks from a near neighbour, and it took almost 4 days for her to get back to normal.
