Here they are...isn't Horse HUGE. He comes up to Vince's waist and is very goodnatured. He's just a lovely dog. Katie is a little petit girl and is also very goodnatured and affectionate.
No problems getting them home in the car. Quite the contrary, Katie LOVES the car, had her head out the window for almost the whole trip and for the rest of it was quite happy curled up on the pads we had on the back folded down seats. Lots of room for the both of them that way but noone else.
They slept on their pads in the kitchen last night, no poos or wee's issues at all. Which is amazing as its a bit stressful on them in a new environment and not knowing us at all. The only small thing that has happened has been they've been a bit snarly with one another on the odd occastion, but that is also settling in issues and I think it has to do with working out where they fit in the pack. They hung around together at the kennel alot and get along well, very well in fact but to be on the safe side we will muzzle them when we go to work tomorrow. Greyhounds have very thin skin and what would be nothing to a labrador (small tussle) can tear the greyhounds skin and cause problems and visits to the vet. This will all settle down as they get used to everything and more comfortable.
Contrary to popular opinion (my dad :) ) they aren't having the run of the house. Dog food only, no hand feeding, and they are being taught really quickly whose in charge which is Vince and I. Being such big dogs you have to be pretty consistent with this stuff.
