I fell in love with a greyhound I met a few months ago and when I read up about them they sound amazing. We've got an appointment on Friday at our local greyhound rescue but DH has yet to be fully convinced. I won't be a child about it - if he really doesn't want one, that has to be fine. But I really want one!
We have a large ish house and an OK garden. One side is hedge which needs securing - I've had a quote for this.
2 well behaved DC 12 and 10.
DH works full time but often from home. I teach 2 days a week. Would need to look into cast iron options for those 2 days but not sure what. Both sets of parents like dogs and would look after for holidays etc.
OK, hit me. I need absolute basics! How often do they need a wee? Can they ever go off lead? What do I need? Will they steal food? I want to be a bit better informed by Friday!
Thanks!

The doghouse
I want to adopt a greyhound but we've never had a dog. What do I need to think about? Start from the beginning and speak slowly!
