Greyhound...

Moby our greyhound is an awesome dog.  He is a racing dropout, actually he never raced.  Personnally i think it's either because he is so big or else because he likes to stop and smell the roses and by smell the roses i mean pee and poop.  Since we've gotten him back in February, it's been fun.  He is quite a couch potato though.  He's quite entertaining though.  He sleeps in our room at the base of the bed or else in his crate next to our bed.  Whenever the alarm goes off to wake up, he jumps up waits like a minute then starts barking.  Trying to bop him on the head to hit the snooze button doesn't work because he just runs around the bed to the other side and keeps barking until you actually get up.  He then wants to play for the next 5-10 minutes and then it's time to eat.  Once fed, it's time to sleep again.  All in all he probably sleeps like 20 hours out of the day.  It's been said that greyhounds don't make great gaurd dogs but i guess ours didn't get that training.  Even if the neighbor is out late (like last night), he'll jump up and have this deep growl bark like something is wrong.  With all of 80lbs, and a deep bark, he doesn't seem like the type of dog you would want to mess with particularly if your the fed ex guy.  For some reason, he really doesn't like him.  I think its the truck more than the person because the ups and mailman he doesn't have a problem with.  And now he is sound asleep on the couch like normal.
