I remember when we first brought Nicki home. I wondered if she had something wrong with her as she would lean against me anytime that I was standing still. What I came to find out, was that leaning is like a full body hug for a greyhound. She would not only lean on people, but the couch and our bed; all things that she loved.
Greyhounds have some other funny habits which I thought I would share. If you are like me, you may adopt for love, and not be completely informed.
They like to lay on their backs with all 4 legs in the air. I've heard this called the "dead cockroach." If I was going to give it a name, I would call it BLISS!
Greyhounds also like to "smile." If you're not clear on this, you may think they are snarling at you. Fear not - it's a smile!
Nicki also liked to nibble on us. It never hurt, in fact, it tickled. She would lay on the couch next to me and nibble on my shirt or right on my arm. It was almost like a secret language that we shared.
Greyhounds are unique. Enjoy falling even more in love once you get to them completely.

Who we are ...
We are a brand new greyhound rescue group in the Indianapolis area. So new, in fact, that we don't even have a name yet! Here's what we want to do ... rescue greyhounds at the end of their racing careers, foster and train them in Indiana prisons and the find them their forever homes. Everyone wins this race - the dogs get to enjoy a life of love and retirement and he inmates get to learn job skills, responsibility and the unconditional love of a greyhound.
