Sage is right that two dogs will entertain each other. We had the terrier first and she would sometimes get bored and seek entertainment if we went out and left her, but that hasn't happened since we got Lurcher boy (just over a year now).<br /><br />You're right that greyhounds need less exercise than some other breeds, but also that they do need some. And yes, dry food will solve some of the other issues :) <br /><br />We have never regretted getting the dogs. They have absolutely enhanced our lives :)Beth Kemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182084510733977382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776380217462070463.post-37631730001237425522013-05-28T20:27:05.945+01:002013-05-28T20:27:05.945+01:00get two!
No. Seriously.

They don't bug you all the time.<br />Or get one....<br />We feed the boys dry food with the odd treat. They don't miss the stinky wet stuff.<br />Forget insurance...put pennies aside. There are so many disclaimers you are less likely to waste your money.<br /><br />If you want one, and can handle it, get one. :D xxSagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09858892210196612375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776380217462070463.post-30295520577521448402013-05-28T19:26:13.306+01:002013-05-28T19:26:13.306+01:00I would love a dog but we live in a flat and aren&...I would love a dog but we live in a flat and aren't supposed to have pets (it's the law!). So please, please get one.

My father has a rescued greyhound (and is very involved with Dumfriesshire and Cumbria Greyhound Rescue) which regularly features in my dogs' blog; <br /> www.hestaonthehill.blogspot.co.uk<br />Yes, my dogs have a blog. That's normal isn't it? Greyhounds are perfect companions and as they're so easy to look after and SO lovable, finding holiday accommodation for it will be no problem - people will be falling over themselves to have it to stay! As to the rest of your downsides, pah, what are they in comparison to what you receive from man's best friend?Carolinenoreply@blogger.com
