• Some greyhounds like to play with a tennis ball. Remember, your greyhound was bred to chase so roll or bowl the ball, don't throw it. Once the ball is punctured it should be thrown away.
• A shank or marrow bone at least five inches long from your butcher will provide hours of enjoyment for your greyhound and can he a great doggie pacifier. Supervision is recommended, especially as the bone dwindles.
• Many greyhound we have placed have done their own adoption of a stuffed animal, throw pillow, or scatter rug. This breed just seems to need something to snuggle up with - so be prepared.

You may not get to see the silly side of your greyhound for a while. They will probably not feel like letting their puppy personality out until they feel quite secure. When you see the classic bottom up, front end down pose bouncing in front of you, you will know it's time to play.
