Shyla gets 1 minute per day to run like the wind off-leash, with our vet's blessing. She takes full advantage of that single minute.
Look at her joy!
Her speed blows me away. She runs around me in circles like I visualize that greyhounds might do.
And her grace astounds me.
She's carrying my glove in some photos because I've started training her to find and pick up objects that I drop. She loves the search for the object... but then her puppy-like spirit takes over, and she runs in circles with it rather than bringing to me. It's fine with me for now because I always want the training process to be fun. We'll soon refine the game so that she brings me the glove after finding it.
We went to a training class in town today in a busy park, and Shyla showed signs of rebounding from the fearfulness that has possessed her over the past week. I'm feeling hopeful that her fear set-back will be short-lived.
Happy Black and White Sunday!
What a happy face she has in her running photo. I bet it feels great to do zoomies.

ReplyDeleteAwesome pleasure to see her run.

We love that puppy look in her eyes, and you are so good to let her learn and still have fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comment, and we sure do hope those fires are soon doused.
She is SO beautiful!

Free at last. Even if only for little spurts of time. We all need to make the most of it like Shyla does.
ReplyDeleteShe is such a cool girl, and further, I bet when you tell her, her minute is UP, she just stops in an instant, right!
ReplyDeleteI will be happy when those Docs figure things out and she can go back to being Speedy Shyla full time !
Kisses,
Stella
Her puppy spirit makes me smile! I love that look of mischief and joy on her face!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the photo of Shyla running toward the camera. She is smiling from ear to ear!!!
ReplyDeleteThat happy face is infectious. I can just picture her doing circles around you and you know that brings a smile.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Goose
Shyla is really kicking up her heals! I hope she can have more off leash time soon (as I'm sure you do too).
ReplyDeleteCindy
Just look at her go!! Bet it feels good to stretch the legs even if only for a minute.
ReplyDeleteCatching up again. Stopped by to say HI!
Love the butt shot and the wild eye ones! We are dealing with a little bit of fearfulness - it does take time. She will come around.
ReplyDeleteWe sure hope no news is good news as far as Shyla's leg goes. How is R doing? He looks good. Is his bloodwork closer to normal?
ReplyDeleteYour signs are cute, but maybe you need something more forceful - like a '10 MPH, Stictly Enforced'?
I can see the pure joy in her face!!! She is truly loving life!! xo Jeanne
ReplyDeleteYou look so happy, Shyla! You are really enjoying that one minute to the fullest!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots,
Mitch and Molly

We greyhounds are purty darn fast you knows.

You have good willpower if you can stick to that single minute of freedom! I have such a hard time restricting my guys, even when I know it is for their own good.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular photos! And all in a minute?!
ReplyDeleteHow happy she looks running like the wind over the beautiful countryside you have. She is so lucky to have come to you.
ReplyDeleteI will check with vet tomorrow about Tyra if we will have some rehab, shes well now how it looks like. But I havent let her loose for hunting yet. Easy to get it again
Oh she does look like she has a hoot in that one minute! Love the butt pic! :)
ReplyDeleteNow those are some SERIOUS zoomies! I can only imagine how happy Shyla is to be able to run like the wind, even if only for a minute. That's the only part of pets that I wish I could change, not being able to explain that what we're doing is for their own good. Here's hoping the restrictions are lifted soon and Shyla can go back to zooming any time she wants to!
ReplyDeleteWoof! Woof! What a happy joyful RUN photos. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteSuch JOY...Shyla and the glove....Sophie takes my drying towel and shakes the B'geesus out of it...and then runs off...I will be waiting for next installment of what to do....thanks for this!
