Yep.
Edited to add:
Yep, they’re like big cats. With twice the affection. And [generally speaking] none of the psychosis.
(BTW, that’s a joke)
Greyhounds are the bestest. And racing is evil.
You should see the condition these dogs come in in, ticks even in their ears, all over their scrotums (scrotii?), ticks and fleas everywhere, full of worms (even nose worms!) and so skinny. Multiple fractures sometimes, or just simple breaks left untreated for “about a month.” Badly wrapped breaks that reek like rotting meat when you unwrap them. And these are just the ones we get. So many just disappear, or “fall off the registry.”
Uh, anyway.
Does anyone know of a good place to get rawhides in bulk inexpensively? We stock up when Costco carries them but they haven’t for a while and we’re out at the GAC Kennel. I spent $65 on rawhides on Friday at Petsmart and they’re nearly gone already– those 4 inch rolls go quick when you’ve got 30 dogs chewing away and getting the plaque off their teeth. They have to be the white ones, not compressed, and preferably American because sometimes there are really nasty chemicals in the others. I checked Smart & Final and no joy there either. They love the rolled rawhides best, 6-10″. heh, heh.
Anyway, give me a heads up if you know of a local source with really good prices.

I didn’t notice the clock at first. Jeezopete — that’s some serious snoozing!
I wish I had a good source for rawhides for you. I think sighthounds are just lovely, lovely dogs, and if I didn’t have Aussies, I’d have one.
Maybe some day I will anyway.

I don’t know a source for rawhides, but I’ve been giving Rena a treat called a “beef pizzle.”
It’s actually dried tendon, I think. And it’s a pretty long lasting chew.
Rawhide gives the girls digestive upsets, but the beef tendon doesn’t. I buy them at Costco and then snap them in half with a … I don’t know what it’s called but Sean uses it to trim the wysteria.
I once found them for a good price online by froogle-ing them and just buying them at the first cheapest place.
Have you tried other Costos in your area?

If interested, here are some online sources, I find online to be much more inexpensive but have to pay the shipping & handling. http://www.JBPET.COM

Here is the third one - you might need to sign up on their website to get e-mails as they usually have some kind of discount available on their products. I always wait for their 22% discount and do my shopping:
