If you are like us, you still contemplating your New Year's resolutions?  Below is a greyhound friendly list for you to consider!


10.  Take your greyhound for a daily walk.  -- Not only is it good for your greyhound to get out and explore the world, it's also good for you!

9.  Introduce someone new to your greyhound.  -- Spreading the greyhound love is easy!  Who doesn't like talking about their hound!  And, it just may help in finding more greyhounds forever homes!

8.  Snap more pictures of your greyhound.  -- You can never have too many pictures.  Our time with them is always too short and pictures hold amazing memories!

7.  Attend NLGA special events with your greyhound.  -- Not only will your greyhound enjoy spending time with other greyhounds, you will enjoy spending time with other greyhound people.  Win, win.

6.  Teach your greyhound a new trick.  -- Spend some good quality cold weather time with your greyhound.  Ticks will impress your friends and family.  Sit.  Shake.  Lay down.  Spin in a circle.  The options are endless.

5.  Introduce your greyhound to more greyhound friends.  -- You have seen it.  We have seen it.  Greyhounds like greyhound friends.  And lots of friends are good!

4.  Trim your greyhounds nails regularly.  -- Nails of the proper length can reduce not only injuries but also that tick-tick-tick as they walk across your floors!

3.  Attend more meet and greets with your greyhound.  -- Social interaction is good for your greyhound.  Social interaction is good for you.  And having the general public meet greyhounds is good for future retired racers!

2.  Brush your greyhounds teeth daily.  -- Not only will this help prolong the healthy life of your greyhound it will also make greyhound kisses and greyhound breath just that much more tolerable!

1.  Consider fostering!  -- Help a retired racing greyhound get ready for life in their forever home.  Or, maybe, meet your new best friend!

Happy 2014 from all of us at the NLGA Dog Blog!
