Grinning and Cockroaching Greyhound
OK… I know I’m a little transfixed on my new dog. So sue me!
Greyhounds are weird dogs. In this photo Cecilia is displaying 3 ways in which greyhounds are weird.
- They can sleep with their eyes open, like a cat. In this photo, CC is actually asleep.
- Greyhounds sometimes sleep in this “cockroaching” position.
- Normally when a dog displays his/her teeth, it’s a sign of aggression. Not so with GH’s. With GH’s this is a sign of happiness and contentment. Below, she’s doing what is called “grinning” among GH owners.
So this photo shows that Cecilia is a happy dog, totally comfortable in her new environment. I think that’s pretty darn cool. We’re only 4 days into bonding & her whole new life.
