bluecollie

Thanks Harminee I can't wait!!!! You have no idea you guys just how excited I was to turn my computer on this morning to see all your work.... I have so got to get Photoshop (personal note to self to then get laptop knowing I will then be grafted to computer permanently) I wonder if i can put a challenge to all you PS pro's...? I rehomed 2 cruelty case foster pups to a young couple who have since become very close friends of mine.. last weekend they were engaged to be married and I said my present to them would be a photo of their boys done for their wall. We have had every typical dog pose problem imaginable which made me start to fear I would never get the picture... BUT then I see how Photoshop works.... Please can I ask for something really nice that i could get blown up perhaps for them to display on their wall??? At anytime I will make myself available to return the favour in the future..... (PLEASE?)

Oh Harminee this is beautiful - all of my furbabies thankyou!! After reading everyones they now have me wondering about getting them done into a signature to show them off... But I'll need you somehow to add my adopted greyhound girl too... Can I have the title 'Bluecollies Babes" ???? If you have the time to do after all the others.... I did love how you done Sivaro's lil black babe with the black background in a collage style - gorgeous!!!!

Hi Risyntira its Bluecollie! Thats my boy Scooby - Thank you so much its great!!!

Thanks Harminee appreciate it...

Ooohhh my handsome lil 'Beau' man...!!!!! AAhhh

If it could be done I would so-o-o appreciate it.... they are my furkid family..

Oh my sweet 'Misty' blue... thank you Harminee... May I ask.. is it hard for all 4 of my babes to be combined into 1 image???

LOL thats cool!!!!

I have only just stumbled upon this thread believe it or not.... PLEASE can I have a turn at your talents too???

We had our youngest girls 5th b'day party today and Polly greeted us all when we got home and particularly hung around the kids (maybe it was the sweet smell of the lollies they'd eaten but she seemed to enjoy their attention and a couple of snuck burger rings by my 3 yr old son -lol

Thank you! She just amazed us tonight because we pulled up in the driveway and she actually met us at the car and followed us to the front door with tail wagging!!!!

Yeah she's been well looked after it seems though the skinny look will be the hardest thing for me to grow accustomed to - if ever I do.

I still am amazed at how long their tails are too... I'm so used to big black bushy ones that lay in not jut out -lol

We're hoping so!!

Thanks everyone for all this great info - so much makes more sense now especially the 'freezing up' thing.. We do have her a muzzle it was given to us when we got her and was told about the regulation. Scarlet I had to laugh about the sitting dilemma because straight away I thought 'Thats whats odd she doesn't sit!' And thanks heaps AnnieK your info pack really opened our eyes... Our girls name is Polly so the OH says 'Polly, What a cracker!' She came inside last night and investigated everything slowly and then finally relaxed on the floor next to my OH. Its his dog so I make sure he feeds her etc and last night she warmed to him much more - I think it was the ear scratching..lol

Thank you Olly for all your info. We took her straight to the vet to get her checked out and to ask a few questions as soon as we got her. His thoughts regarding her shaking was anxiety and said how before a race they get all hyped up and do it and we did get a rug jacket thing for her for night time so she doesn't get cold which we use.. I don't know maybe its just that I'm not used to greyhounds but she seems so stiff in comparison and her legs being so long & skinny makes her seem so fragile in a sense - a lot less agile anyway. What type of bedding do they prefer?? We have a really large dog hammock bed thing we thought she'd use but she didn't seem to want to trust it when she went to stand on it so we've ended up putting big foam squares together with a rug over them for her to try and make her comfortable ( which I think my BC's are quite jealous about though they would end up chewing it up anyway-lol)

Hi All, I'm not exactly sure if this is where to post this question but we have just rescued a 2yr old greyhound girl who was trained and has been racing but doesn't have the strong chase instinct needed apparently to be a champion.. Thing is I know working breeds NOT greyhounds !! (OH's idea) So can anyone give me an education on dealing with greyhounds?? Ex-Racers?? 1/ Are they always so stiff and uncomfortable looking?? 2/ Do they always shake like a chihuahua? She is in what is considered for a racing dog to be in great condition though to me that looks underweight.. her teeth are terribly brown and she was really food aggressive on the first night when my other dogs walked passed even though she was fed in a seperately fenced area. I'm worried whether to expect muscle problems or anything re: metabolism now that she has suddenly been brought out of the racing lifestyle.. is there anything I should look for??

Bugger! I just emailed the C.C mob though - thanks for that!

Wow I thought surely there would be a group out there wanting to show off their talents...and promote more interest in the sport????

Hi All, Hunter Animal Rescue are having a reunion day on the 10th March at Speers Pt Park (10am -4pm). We have lots of fun activities organised but would love to have an agility/ flyball demonstration. We are not sure of who to contact that might like to come and promote the sports. We are also interested in the Dancing Dogs that we seen at the Newcastle Expo but I can't find the sheet on which I had their contact details. Can anyone help with this????

Sorry for your loss Peibe - it's been one of those weeks hey?
