Our new Grey

Today we went on our Waseley Hill RGT walk with Tango, we went for half of the walk and then turned back and headed to the RGT's kennels to view bitches that needed a home.

We looked at Lady, Lucy, Zoe and Valerie, but all of them had a growl at poor Tango, we thought they were all going to have issues with him until Harley come back off her walk. She is a gorgeous blue colour wiv a spot of white in the exact same place as Tango.

She didnt growl she just walked nicely with him and in the paddock she didnt take any notice of him, which is better than growling!

We hope she will be perfect and settle well into our routine.

Images are from the RGT walk today, except the 1st and 3rd photo which are of our new blue bitch Harley who we pick up next weekend :) x

Out the red

Yay

We've just had the call from the vets that the lump has been examined by the lab and he has got the all clear!

So glad, we lost a dog to a tuma before and its not nice because you see them gradually go downhill.

Im so happy to hear its nothing to worry about, I couldnt stand to lose him after having him for just 4 months.

Very excited for the Hall Green RGT walk this Sunday at Waseley Hills I'll get some photo's to post up for you to see.

Have a lovely weekend x

Tango's Operation

Tango is back home from his op, he has been given what i call a lamp shade, to put round his neck, but whilst he is in our view and isn't scratching it, we have took it off so he will settle down and not pace about.

He doesn't seem very fazed, his usual whingy, cuddly self. He has got a shaved patch on his front leg and on the side of his neck which they used for blood samples, which come back all good for a dog of 5 years of age.

His op went without any glitches so thats good, the photo is of the wound on his nose from the op (still swollen) he still looks very adorable even with this little hiccup on his face. Im sure he will be getting LOADS of sympathy cuddles on sunday at the RGT walk!

We also might be viewing the greys looking for a home after the walk, we want a second one because Tango loves company of other greys, and we hope it will help him settle down instead of pacing about looking for attention all the time!

Give you an update soon on how he is getting on and a picture to show the wound looking less swollen e.t.c!

Tango's new friends

I went to visit one of my friends ive known quite a few years now, but don't see enough of, she had a border terrier called Millie who is seven. Her new partner has a Greyhound x Whippet called Blue. He is VERY handsome!!

I plan to walk Tango with Blue & Millie soon I think Tango will love running around in the field with Blue, he doesn't get to run and play with many dogs as most places haven't got secure fencing around.

The vets rang and said Tango has had his operation and is fine but abit wobbly from the anesthetic, I cant wait to see him when I get back from work later.

Update later & photo of Tango's nose op!

Tango update

I haven't posted a blog in a long time, mainly due to more hours at work, socializing and generally being my dogs servant.

In my last few blogs I have posted about how I had adopted a retired greyhound called Tango. We've had him now for 4 months and he is well and truly settled in.

Recently however he started growing a very small lump on his nose, it started as a very small white lump, similar to a wart, we left it but it started to increase is size and become red in colour. The vet says its most likely a cyst that has grew and will disappear but incase it is anything nastier we have decided to have it removed. His operation is tomorrow, he wont have to stop over night which is good, I don't think he would of settled or slept in a strange place very well.

I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow when he is home, the vet says he will have a small shaved patch which couldn't of come at a worst time because its prime retired greyhound show season!

We've already won a 2nd place in a show, we were shortlined in our last but beaten by a very lovely labrador. Our next shows though are greyhound only, which will be fun, lets hope his short black nose hair will of grown back by then!!

Were going to a retired greyhound walk on Sunday which will be fun, we like to go regular so the RGT we got him from can see his progress. Since we have had him he has become more and more handsome every week. His coat is fabulous and shiny now, when it use to be dull and scruffy before.

Ill leave you with a compilation video of Tango! x

Tango

Tango who I posted about in a few of my last post's is getting on fine, hes settled in now and found his spot on the sofa, we took him to the Waseley Hill's country park, where all the retired greyhounds from local tracks meet up, there was 50+ greyhounds, it was amazing!!  I loved it I'd go every month if I had the bottle to

 drive up there, I might try it one day! The motorway is a scary place though  for a little newb like me :)

I got some great shots there I will post them up.
