Olive the Tattletale

Mouse was cat safe, and as Olive's sister, I thought that she would be too. I was happy to be right as the only thing that annoyed me about Zelda was her attitude towards the cats. Here is a video of the first time Olive met Frou-Frou.


Olive has been really good with the cats for a dog who has never actually seen one before. She has lumbered after them a few times when they have run from her, but she is very easy to call off. Now that I have seen what real prey drive looks like, I think I have better perspective when a dog cries or bounces when they see a cat. As you can see here, Frou is the one doing the tasting - giving Olive a lick on the nose. 


Frou is the brave cat, Mittens is still a bit traumatised by her experience with Zelda and is hesitant to come into the 'dog' half of the house. 

I was sitting in the lounge room updating dog listings for GreyhoundAngels, and I heard Olive barking. When N went to investigate she saw that Frou was on the kitchen bench, eating the food that I had boiled up for the dogs. Olive was tattling on her!!! Tattle tale!! Not sure Frou will give you any more kisses now, Olive!

Ha ha ha! Every family has a tattle tale, it seems! Flattery is our first experience with a dog who's got a high prey drive. I know for sure that she's not rabbit safe. We haven't seen her around cats or small dogs yet, but I'm going to be really on alert when that happens. I can't imagine that Olive will have to wait too long for someone to adopt her!

I suspect that Flattery will also be on alert when she meets a cat! Olive met some people last night but I think their Visla might be a bit too much dog for her. If they are still interested there might be a doggie date but will have to be after she's recovered from her spey now.
Olive is so good, barely a flicker of interest and comes right back when you call her. When Elliot is an only dog (in many years I hope) I am going to get a greyhound and I hope I get one as gentle as Olive.
Thanks for posting the video.

yup there are plenty of gentle ones out there, and many just as lovely as Olive
Yay Olive. What a good girl. I'm sure the right home for her will soon turn up. A lot of people with cats seem to want Greyhounds over here, lol.
I liked best the part about Frou eating the Dog's food!
It's good for the kitties to get told on once in a while. They're so stealthy, they can get cocky.

Frou is totally cocky - I have caught her trying to wash the dishes for me so many times!
All the title can be presenting with the suiting time. These factors can be much important on the same purposes. The first and new development can be presenting with the suitable time.
