Mate am absolutely buzzing to get him, as i said he has issues, new environments and sounds frighten him etc at first so we'll need to take our time with him, we're lucky where we stay is quite quiet for walks and stuff, But i know that when he's settled he'll start to take the piss out of us no doubt, and that i cannot wait for lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 @54_and_counting I couldn’t help thinking “I’ve seen that dog before”. Basil looks a great character! Enjoy every minute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of weeks ago, however, he gradually developed a nasty cough then started having difficulty breathing. We took him to the vets on Monday. An x-ray appeared to show that a huge tumour had developed in his chest cavity, which was probably pressing on his lungs & heart. His heart was also significantly enlarged. In addition, the vet said that he probably wouldn't survive the anaesthetic if she put him under to investigate further. She prescribed various drugs that she hoped might make him comfortable and prolong his life for a while, but he just got progressively worse over the course of this week. Obviously, we felt that we had to spare him any further suffering. Run free, big boy . What a handsome big guy. It's horrible when they get to that sort of age and start to suffer from health issues because you know its going to take more of a toll on them. You've done the selfless thing in sparing him any further suffering and that's the kindest thing you can do as an owner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whole other debate but I took some solace from the fact that they were not forced to soldier on in discomfort until ‘natural causes’. You’ve done the right thing, as heartbreaking as I am sure it is. 21 hours ago, Rizzo said: What a handsome big guy.

Percy was the 5th sighthound (4 greyhounds and a whippet) that we've lost in the last 12 years, and it doesn't get any easier. We went down to Strathclyde Park this afternoon for the West Scotland Greyhound Trust walk. Janice suggested that Cody, Skye & Shane would all make good companions for Eddie, our current remaining greyhound. We walked all three of them, and whilst either of the boys would have been good, Mrs Gilp fell in love with Skye, a 4yo bitch. We will be picking her up in a fortnight 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 She's a lovely dog. Greyhounds are such lazy gits! Our neighbours years ago had a rescue one. 23hrs and 55mins sleep a day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

54_and_counting Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Thats us got Basil home now, he definitely hasnt seen much if anything, when we put the tv on he literally just stared at someone talking on the news (they must have been talking bollocks cause he got bored after 10 seconds) And the washing machine beeping when done set him off on a mad one for a few seconds, but other than that he's been great so far, he's happily going about the house and coming over to us and playing with us etc I'll try get pics up later on when he sits down for a minute 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
