My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Flaco is tall, red, and good-looking . He is a happy, tail-wagging, prancing Italian Greyhound. He loves snuggling and snoozing. He loves walks around the neighborhood and rides in cars (even if it means he is going to the vet.)

Flaco means "skinny" in Spanish. And this guy is very skinny. His ribs and backbone are quite noticeable. He must have a high metabolism because he eats very well.

The hairs in his beautiful red coat are unusually short. When you pet him, from head toward tail, he feels very soft. But reverse the flow and he's prickly! He loves to be scratched, and must be a little itchy because he will flop on the people bed, legs thrashing the air, and wiggle like a fish out of water! And his legs are so long we all have to take cover! His skin looks good, no obvious reason to want his entire spine scratched or rubbed, but this is an every day spectacle.

He is very smart and very obedient. When he comes inside after a potty break, he comes right over to our clean-up station where we wipe him down with a baby wipe (his "aim" is terrible) and put on his belly band. When he is bathed, he will stand or sit in the water on command. He never whines, whimpers, or tries to bolt. He is calm during the towel dry and calm when the hair dryer is blowing on him.

He knows so many commands: "kennel", "clean-up", and "sit". He knows "wait", "outside", "go potty", "treat" (of course), "shake" (whole body, not paw), and more.

Flaco is good with kids, other dogs, cats, and visitors. He is happy. He prances. He has only that one drawback.
