We have two beautiful girls with us this week๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š I love to make sure that everyone is happy and getting on just like friends would๐Ÿ˜Š itโ€™s important that greyhounds are introduced to each other and can be with each other. These two get on like a house on fire.๐Ÿ”ฅ

Understanding greyhounds is one of the fun things I love about looking after them. They teach me as much as I teach them ๐Ÿ’šthis girl is smart and finding out what she responds to best is one of the ways to make learning fun for both of us.

โ›ˆ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š Stormy days ahead ๐Ÿ’šโ›ˆ๏ธ

If your greyhound is storm phobic, youโ€™re definitely not alone. Many hounds are sensitive to changes in air pressure, thunder, lightning, and even the static in the air.

Here are a few gentle ways to help them feel safe and supported when storms roll in:

๐ŸŒฟ Use calming essential oils
Try diffusing Peace & Calming to create a serene environment, or apply Stress Away to the acupressure point on the base of their foot for grounding and emotional balance.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ Create a safe, quiet space
Set up a cozy corner with familiar blankets, their bed, or a crate covered with a light blanket to muffle sound and flashes.

๐ŸŽถ Play soft music or white noise
The gentle background sound can help mask thunder and bring comfort.

๐Ÿพ Stay calm yourself
Our dogs feel our emotions. If you stay relaxed, theyโ€™ll take their cues from you.

๐Ÿ’š Gentle touch helps
Slow, steady pats or resting your hand on them can provide reassurance and grounding.

Remember, they just need to know theyโ€™re safe and loved. ๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’” Researchers Reveal Losing a Dog Can Be As Hard As Losing a Loved One ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿพ

If youโ€™ve ever said goodbye to a beloved hound, you know the heartbreak runs deep. Itโ€™s not โ€œjust a dog.โ€ Itโ€™s family. Itโ€™s unconditional love. Itโ€™s the one who was always there for you.

Science now confirms what so many of us feel: the bond we form with our dogs is the same type of bond we form with people. Thatโ€™s why losing them can feel just as painful as losing a loved one.

I know this pain personally, when my beautiful Ruby passed, the grief was overwhelming. The house felt so empty and every routine reminded me of her absence. It took time to learn how to carry that love forward.

Here are 5 reasons why itโ€™s so hard to say goodbye:
1๏ธโƒฃ The bond is realโ€”our brains literally see them as family.
2๏ธโƒฃ Grieving isnโ€™t always socially accepted the way it is with people.
3๏ธโƒฃ We lose their unconditional love and comfort.
4๏ธโƒฃ Our routines and homes feel painfully quiet.
5๏ธโƒฃ Guilt, especially if we had to make the kindest but hardest decision.

If you are grieving your hound, please know your feelings are valid, and you are not alone. I see you
