Don’t mess with mamasaurus shirt

That is EXACTLY How my greyhound is. He has gotten over most of it and enjoys cuddles, even comes up and lays down on me himself most of the time now. But if he falls asleep and I move or touch him, he will jump up with a startled growl, then when he sees it’s you he relaxes and goes back to cuddling. It’s hard not to wonder what they’ve gone through. He was older as he retired at 5.5yrs old! He spent a little longer at the track than most retired greys. Breanna Haddock Good luck! I have to say that having my other dog helped the abused one as well. Homer didn’t know how to be a dog until he watched us being affectionate with Bearie, our little terrier. Homer would just watch. Then one day, out of the blue, he jumped into my lap. I never force him. Give him his space. He walks away when he’s had enough.
