Chris (scroll down) is a classically proportioned greyhound. He is so tall, he has to stoop like a new foal to feed. His muscles are powerful and his deep chest curves elegantly back to fine rear quarters. He is all curves. Even his tail curves up and around in a perfect circle. Some greyhounds are squarer, but Chris is the classic pharaoh shape.
What's with the name? Who would call a dog Chris? I've started calling him Christopher Robin or Mr Christian.
For the last two days - temperatures in the high thirties - I've been sponging the dogs down and giving them ice-cream.
Today - now - it is eleven degrees. I've just fed Christy and put his coat on. He needs to put on some condition.
He's been good, by the way. Separation anxiety can be hard to lose but he's doing OK.
