Please only apply for this greyhound if you have:

- Children over 10 years
💖By Sulley;💖 Are you my perfect?
Do you:
✅love a sleep in?
✅love to snuggle?
✅need to laugh more?
✅have older kids that are dog confident, as although I try to be extra good I can be a bit too bouncy for little kids and have no spacial awareness?
✅enjoy sharing a couch?
✅know that windy/rainy days are for snuggling inside not walking?
✅like handling wet spaghetti (I’ve been likened to this image with my greetings to those I’m excited to see). I am not suited to someone older who could possibly be unstable on their feet.
✅enjoy watching drifting (I’m great at it BTW)
✅ do like to pretend I’m a cat when you pat me (I’m better than real cats who are only here for the purpose of catching - just joking!)
✅walk well in a halti and lead set, I can pull on a collar and I don’t like harnesses. I can kiss a walk as long as I get some toy playtime outside edge silly when it’s miserable outside.
I am not:
✅a fan of playing with little dogs but happy to walk past without being a twerp (I prefer greyhounds!)
✅a fan of thunder or wind banging things around, I get jumpy outside (I do mange if no-one has been home when it happens) but totally fine inside.
I Will, Can or Do:
✅be a solo dog where my human goes to work💖 just leave me toys and a snuggly bed (can happily outside during the day with good shelter, comfy bed and toys while you work)
✅pretend to go around the corner and wee in the morning and run back inside without going (because let’s face it who wants to go out on a frosty morning at 6:30am, that’s sleep time🤣, just because the human wants to get up (who the heck has to go to work, I’m retired)!!
✅let you know when I need to go to the toilet as I am the perfect gentleman inside with toilet manners, never had a single accident in inside in 18mths.
✅bring laughter and lots of comments about how silly and expressionistic I am
✅be your best friend and snuggle buddy anywhere anytime
✅be okay as a solo dog (I will self settle if you ignore me) or with a CALM female greyhound
✅ go on my bed on command (with flair, always with flair🥰🤣, think Tigger)
✅wait on my bed for my name to be called for dinner
✅sit (if you give me somewhere soft under my butt to ask - check my profile pic!)
✅stay in my bed even if I am quivering with soo much excitement waiting for the okay to run up and smooch a new arrival to the house
✅lick ears for kisses where possible
✅provide delightful chin nibbles
✅remove your scarf when your are seated at home, because I’m helping you to put things away.
✅love toys, the deeper the toy bucket the more fun because the best things will always be at the bottom even if you swap them to the top🤣
✅play-growl with toys (but I do not resource guard)
✅you can see if I am confused by my expressions by something you are asking for, if you slow it down I can manage to work it out happily
✅I like to sun bake a little too much sometimes, so just try and keep those times short and this has still been working for me.
If you are still reading - please note, I am:
✅expert roacher level AAA+
✅delightful
✅hilarious (just ask me)
✅a hard leaner for snuggles (like if you move I am going to fall over🤣)
✅ a favorite amongst my family and friends
[Note: Under Victorian Law greyhounds must be on-leash at all times in public areas, including in off-leash parks or ovals]
Medical notes
✅✅ have pannus - but thanks to the eye specialist my pannus is inactive and under control. I will not wear googles (ignore those silly photos) so don’t waste your money I’ll just scratch them off. The eye specialist is not concerned, just monitor UV and walk during lower UV times. I am perfect to have my daily eye drops.
