Greyhounds

[Connemmara]

My neighbours have had greyhounds over the years (he only used them for pets outdoor) never ran them or raced them no, nothing like that - now with a growing family of his own he has lost interest of these poor animals. All he does is feed and water them - sometimes he goes away for 48 years and then comes back to do the same ritual. I am very concerned that after maybe 6 months they have not been walked. I asked him in a conversational way what was happening and he said he is no longer interested in them and I told him to put them in a dog's home - oh I cant do that he said - I said there were better up there in a dog's home than with him. This neighbour is very good to me and therefore I cant say too much because they would be up and selling their house and I would not want to be responsible for that.

I KNow Lankeela you had words about my dog but believe me - he is everywhere with me he possibly can be in the car and at least the park 5of 7 days a week. These dogs being cooped up is breaking my heart - I did offer to feed and water them while he was away but he said he would not impose on anybody. Please say a prayer he gets rid of these poor animals - he used to truly love these animals but between ourself I think the wife (who is a lovely girl) and her mother has dissuaded nor encouraged him with them and he has lost heart. ( I need to become the monkey in this case hear no evil, see no evil and say no evil.)

Find your local greyhound rescue group...let them know what is happening. They may be willing to have a chat with him,and take the dogs on. As it is,it sounds like his lack of care is abuse....he can get into serious trouble.
