5 Dogs on the Beach
Aside
We’ve had visitors for the past couple of days, which means that since we are fostering Brooke Davis with our two boys, we had 5 dogs in the house. All perfectly behaved and not a hint of any problems.
Achilles is almost like a twin to Vulcan, only quite a bit larger, and Zeva is very clingy and interactive.
Our guys didn’t mind the company, since they get the sofas and nobody else does, so they can lie around and watch the others changing beds all the time.
From left to right: Zeva, Vulcan, Brooke, Achilles, Raro
Lil
Vulcan and Raro have a new friend. This is Lil (Wee Lisa). She may be the tiniest greyhound we’ve seen, but she’s very active and full of energy.
She’s been adopted by Robyn and Cliff (who had Missy, Vulcan’s sister, who died last year). She’s a great fit and very smart.

Penny
This Joss’ dog Penny, she’s just spent the past few days here while Jos was away. Penny is gorgeous, very smart and is always trying to wind the boys up and get them to play. She fits right in and is immediately at home. Just takes her cues from the boys, so everyone is chilled and relaxed.
Pretty in Pink
Pretty in pink. Sage heads off to her new home on Saturday. We’ll miss her; I’m sure she’ll miss Raro and Vulcan, too.

Raro’s brother Sonic
Raro and his litter brother Sonic. They are a great pair of dogs, very similar in many ways.
Both Raro and Vulcan were absolutely stoked when they realised they were going walking with other greyhounds, their behaviour with greyhounds is totally different to all other dogs.

- Kevin and his owner – Kevin is one of the many hundreds (possibly thousands) of Raro’s half brothers.

- Raro with his litter brother Sonic (both are named after cars, though Raro got the better deal there).
At the 2017 Great Global Greyhound Walk at Mt Maunganui last Sunday. Great weather, and lots of interest from the public.
Achilles
Vulcan met Achilles at the GGGW at Mt Maunganui.
Achilles is slightly larger than Vulcan, and the same beautiful blue brindle colour – though Vulcan has more white on his front and being older (he’s nearly 9 years old) has more white on his muzzle, too.
Both dogs have problems with corns, Vulcan has 2 sore feet at present.
Sage
We picked up Sage from the Levin kennels on our way home yesterday, she’s been delightful.
She’s very alert and very bright, interactive and friendly but lacks confidence and is very submissive – more so than most dogs we’ve seen.
She’s figured out the routine around here and follows us and the boys around, and is starting to chill just like they do.
