K42 Dana, Doe Eyed Greyhound Girl

[Baglady]

Ahhhh, they don't come much prettier than this! Meet Dana 



Dana was signed over to CDH by a rescue. She is simply stunning!



Ben greyhound has been with us for a few weeks, and was finding it a little difficult to settle into the routine of kennel life. The staff thought he might benefit from some company, and when they introduced him to our gorgeous newbie Dana they hit it off immediately! So Ben is now sharing his kennel, his blankie, his toys, and everything else he has with his new best friend



The two gentle greyhounds love having a mooch around the garden, and when they stop off to share a drink together, they look for all the world like a pair of gazelles at a serengeti watering hole...






Dana is in fabulous condition, but she doesn't need hours an hours of exercise to ensure she keeps her figure! Greyhounds are sprinters, not marathon runners, and can make excellent, low maintenance pets. They love to have enough outdoor space for the occassional zoomies, but are generally very calm and low energy dogs who will walk calmly and quietly by your side.



Like many greyhounds, Dana loves to lean in for a bit of loving...



She's quite partial to cuddles!



And doesn't mind sharing one little bit!



Dana is also verrrrry partial to treats! And she needed a little help from Aunty Janet to understand that table manners are quite important!

ooh careful Dana!



No need to snatch....



Good girl! There's plenty more where that came from!

Ben, Dana's kennel buddy, has been rehomed, but Dana is still waiting to meet her perfect peeps.

As she is in one of the larger kennels in the stable block casual visitors won't see her, so please ask for her by name if you'd like to meet her.

Walked Dana this afternoon, she is a really sweet, gentle girl who walks beautifully on the lead. She got soaked in the rain but didn't grumble and has a lovely way of looking up at you every so often to say 'hello'. She has a very calm energy about her and will be a wonderful addition to someone's family.

Dana (Dar-nah or Day-na, depending on who you talk to) is just the sweetest pointy lady! She's quite similar to Sailor in temperament - very sedate, calm, and gentle. We took her out with Echo on Thursday and she walked wonderfully despite the horrible weather, only too happy to stay close to us and her pointy pal. Nothing seemed to bother her - not the traffic, weather, or other dogs. Like Echo she seemed keen on having a little fuss from strangers and would watch them walk by, looking quite disappointed if they didn't stop to admire her. Of course we made sure to give Dana enough attention to make up for those silly passers-by At one point Dana stopped just in front of me and quietly refused to budge until she'd had a good old cwtch/lean. I was, of course, only too happy to oblige and could have stood there all day in the rain as she leant in for a gentle cuddle. Those gorgeous doe-eyes of hers are very dangerous to any sort of productivity

Though she was far calmer than her bouncy counterpart Echo, Dana still had a few lively moments of her own, mostly when there were leaves involved! She's a greyhound through and through and the minute she spotted anything blowing in the wind, she'd do a quick bunny hop over to it. I imagine she'd be very happy to bounce around someone's garden for a few minutes at a time each day with her toys - just as I'm sure she'd be only too thrilled to stretch out on a comfy sofa or floor (wherever she'll fit!) and let her calming energy wash over her forever family. She was very interested in treats but waited patiently for her turn and took them ever-so softly from our hands. I doubt miss Dana will be waiting very long to find her forever home, so if you're interested then you definitely need to head down sharpish! We were tempted enough as it was (I'm not sure our cat would be too pleased with a very speedy companion), and a visiting family spent a good long time having cuddles with and talking about this gorgeous pointy lady.

We walked the lovely elegant Dana yesterday afternoon. What a beautiful girl, she attracted a few admirers whilst out on our walk.

She walked really nicely on the lead, trotting along by the side of us. And she posed obligingly for some photos..




She wasn't too keen on passing dogs, letting out a growl that vibrated up the lead but there was no barking or aggression.

She took some treats very gently..

 


She was an absolute pleasure to walk and we look forward to walking her again if she isn't snapped up soon.

Well Helen I'm afraid you won't be able to walk the lovely Dana anymore, as she has now found her forever home!

Well done, Dana! I had some photos from our walk on Tuesday I hadn't had time to put up yet as I was away for a wedding, but looks like they won't be needed anyway I loved her little cameo with Echo on TV. It's no wonder she's been snapped up, gorgeous girl like her! Good luck, sweetheart!
