I flop on my back on this patch of grass here and then I get belly rubs! It's clearly a magical patch of grass.
Tra-la-la - aren't I adorable?
Grr! Get out of my picture frame!
Anywho - now where were we?
We received a pretty good report card regarding Coltrane this past weekend. He whined in his crate on the first night and whined a less on the second night. He was acting kind of shy (per usual) at the open house and fumigated his hosts' home with nervosus fartus. Otherwise, Coltrane was his goofy, sweet self.
The experience is a good indication of how Coltrane will act in his adoptive family's home. Most greyhounds whine in their crate during the first couple of nights after being adopted. This can be remedied by placing a crate in the bedroom. If the family does not want to keep a crate in the bedroom, then ignoring the whining will work just as well (but make sure that the whining is not due to the dog needing to potty!). It is very typical behavior and will normally quell on its own after a few nights.
