Sorcha update

[sasha_feather]

There were hardly any dogs at the park today in the late morning when we went, so I decided to let Sorcha off the leash. She did great! She walked beside me for a little bit, and then when she saw other dogs she galloped off to them. She is really beautiful when she runs. She did come back to me which I was relieved about. She snapped and growled at the other dogs when they sniffed at her, but the other dog owner was like, "Oh, she's just putting them in their place." And Sorcha cozied up to that woman and wanted to get pet. I think Sorcha likes people more than other dogs. This woman was like, "Are all Greyhounds *so soft*??" I said I didn't know. It's true her coat feels like rabbit fur.

We also went to the vet for a quick check-up paid for by GPA. This is called a CVI and is required by state law to make sure I'm not getting a puppy mill dog apparently. Even though she's 8. She weight about 59 pounds. It's hard to imagine this couch-loving, people-loving dog in a big barn in a crate all day long. She is napping right now, stretched out on the sofa in "roach pose".

Hey, what is "Roach Pose"? I've had dogs (and cats, mind you) for 13 years now and I'm not familiar with the term! :)

Sounds like you two are having a lot of fun...

They call it that because it's like a dead cockroach (gross I know), on the dog's back with all four feet up in the air.

Yeah, my dogs don't do that when they're sleeping, only my cat Dolce when she sleeps on my boobs and wants me to pet her on her stomach. LOL.
