Annie, it's Susan, I really think Chris, now he's made a new track next to the back yard stairs, my back yard just goes up and sort of natural, that's a nice...
Hi Susan, If he's like Cowboy, it is possibly the gravy or small of the cooked lamb he likes. Sometimes if I'm feeding Cowboy something I know he's not keen on...
Hi All, Just a reminder that the Park Orchards Playgroup is on this Sunday 5th June. Stintons Rd, Park Orchards. (near BMX track). 1pm to 3pm $5.00 per dog,...
Hi Annie, Our girls seem to like vegemite (with water) added to things for a change of taste. Winsome [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Hi all, Due to one of my friends being in a serious car accident a few weeks ago I have inherited (for the time being) one of her dogs with five two week old...
... Them talking footy, but I'd rather watch grass grow. See you Thursday. ... Hi Winsome, Thats funny. For the last week or so I have been watching the grass...
Hi Kerrie You must have a very good memory. Today was my first day for the talk, I did 3 talks today straight after each other. They were all around 30...
Hey Mandy, Right first and foremost you need to contact a vet who will be able to advise you most of this stuff over the phone if you feel you need it. Dogs...
Hi All, I've been invigilating primary school exams for the last two days. I've visited 6 portable classrooms, and to tell you the truth I have no idea how...
Hi All, I bought a greyhound racing book yesterday thinking I might get some hints on why Gingko is so timid and to see if I can avoid accidently uncovering...
Hi Imogen, I think in some cases it is just that they are things that Gingko has not seen before. I know Jessica does not like coming through our back gate...
Hi Imogen, Unlocking the mysteries of our dogs' past is difficult especially in Gingko's case when his history is completely unknown. Was he born timid or was...
Hi Imogen, Sometimes dogs just have these funny quirks. Gingko is fairly timid, so anything - noises, bright lights, etc., that he's unfamiliar with will give...
Hi Toni, I know there are things that Gingko just hasn't experienced but he usually approaches these shyly but he has a totally different reaction to the...
Hi Jane and Kerrie, Thanks for the re-assurance but I really wonder if its more than that. Gingko has no trouble with other things around the house, shy at...
Hi Imogen, I find this a really interesting topic and I'm always trying to learn more things about our ex-racers so I hope you don't mind me keeping the...
Okay, someone said this might be a cute thread so I'll start the ball rolling. Gingko hasn't got too many bad habits (well, he hasn't shown us too many yet!)...
Hi Wendy, I WISH I did have a good memory but it's not one of my strong points at all. I think the main reason I remembered you telling me about it a week...
I know it sounds weird, but I guess it would just help me understand more about training him to be a pet if I knew more about him. I'd LOVE to meet his...
Hi Imogen, I know that none of the official greyhound bodies will give out such details but if you go to http://www.greyhound-data.com/ you may be able to find...
Hi Imogen & Kerrie, Just a thought Imogen on Gingko's fear of the power cord, could be for the same reason as a lot of Greyhounds do not like having a bed made...
Wow! Thanks. I had no idea this data was available. Now all I have to do is remember his earmark... Winsome, do you remember? I have it written down at home,...
Hi Imogen, When you celebrate his 1 year anniversary of being with you, try to recall how many changes he's made since he's been with you. If you can already...
Hi Imogen and Kerrie, Unfortunately you are most unlikely to find out Gingko's own background, although other racing people may give you a few hints. When I...
Hi Imogen, I know how you feel, but I think Kerrie is right. The only one of my animals whose past I don't know is Priscilla, and I often wonder what made her...
HI Imogen, I 'think' that site is where trainers enter the details on their dogs, and because Gingko hasn't raced, his won't be listed. I got the information...
Hi Imogen, I doubt Gingko's owner noticed his 'traits' at that age, and if he took him (and another female, in a lot of pain) to the shelter, he won't be that...
Hi Winsome, I don't have any hard feelings about what might have happened to Gingko. I would just be interested to know where he is coming from and a little...
Had to take Chris to the vet today re his paw, if he knocked it he'd cry and this morning wouldn't let me touch it, so off we went to Main Ridge, the dew claw...
