I knew greyhounds would be on that list.   For the record, if you attempt to take a greyhound on anything over a mile, be sure you are strong enough to carry them home. lol

Phil took Bloo for a 1 mile run once.  He thought she enjoyed it but next time she refused to go.  HEH.

That's pretty accurate as far as my beagle is concerned. When she was younger, she was fine with anything up to about five miles but would just lay down after that and refuse to move. Now she's just old and fat.

I have a Ridgback/ Lab mix that also goes crazy when I get my running gear on.  She is a great runner and has been out 3+ miles with me.  However, I have not taken her out in a few months, she is still a puppy and I want her to develop more before I start taking her out again.

Molly would have made a great running partner had I started 5-10 years ago....... by the time I started running she could only handle winter runs and 3-4 miles.  RIP ol' girl.

It is a hard thing, believe me and I really haven't had a chance to grieve over her, everytime I try to cry my eyes out my toddler son comes to me, he doesn't like it when I cry. She made it to 14 last November before she passed away in our living room on December 2nd at 2 in the morning, lung cancer is what  took her, the fluid in her lungs. Up until 2011 you would never have known that this 63 lb Husky/GSD was past 10 years old, because she acted like an adolescent pup. But then starting in the summer of 2011, when it would get hot and humid she would begin to slow down and cough, I thought it was just old age catching up to her, but then once the temps got to 60 and below she immediately recovered and was back to her normal go-go-go self. Last year, Summer lasted up until late December, with 80 degree temps one week and then 60 degrees the next, it was just too much for her to handle . I know if we had lived in a colder, drier climate she could have easily made it to 17 years, but Southern Indiana has some ugly weather during the summer for dogs with furry fur coats. I had her since she was 7 months old, I found her out on the street sitting there watching me in 2001, I was 11 years old. She had been my shadow through middle school, high school, finding the love of my life, marriage, and the birth of my son........ she was always there with me and I miss her so much.

Aww, that's sad. I get emotional now just thinking about the day I have to tell my buddy good bye

They'll be buddies for sure, sadly Dorian won't remember Molly because he was 8 months old when she passed. But I am sure Rocky and him will be, once Rocky gets over the fact that this little human doesn't yet speak, but herds him around the house.

Wow, just reading that makes me want to cry for you. I know it will be hard when we lose ours but I think it will be hardest on our daughter. We got Brody when he was 7 weeks old and she had just turned 1yr old.

Some days she acts like she just hates him, but other days she will try putting tiaras and all sorts of girly stuff on him, or she will just simply use him as a chair when he's lying in the floor. Here are some examples of their relationship, lol.
