Had the privilege to meet this funny and gentle giant. He showed me lots of different faces. Here's the serious and elegant one, but he can do quirky and funny as well. More later.

It's "Shake a paw" Friday. And here's Ella to say Hi.

17/07/2026

I adopted my dog from abroad without ever having met him first. Should you do something like that? Yes and no. More ‘no’ than ‘yes’. Why did I do it anyway?

Firstly, because I know the charity well and know that they take great care to describe the animals as accurately as possible and to avoid returns. Secondly, I know a lot about Spanish hunting dogs and am aware of the issues: hunting instinct, stubbornness, a need for exercise, etc. I'm a galgo fan and as long as they get discarded in their home countries, I will always adopt from there. His description was exactly what we were looking for. Thirdly, Fonsi was in a foster home and didn’t come from a holding centre. He was also very young. And last but not least, I’m well aware that adopting an animal can always bring problems with it, and I’m prepared to face them. The only thing that did surprise me was his incredible energy. But I’d been warned about that in no uncertain terms beforehand, too. I love everything about him. He’s everything we could have hoped for and so much more. Has he given me a few grey hairs? Of course he has.

My advice to prospective adopters:�

- Pity is NEVER a good guide.
- Having overly specific expectations of what your future dog should be able to do often leads to despair and disappointment.
- Take a good look at the charity. Of course, there are black sheep out there too.
- If possible, get to know the dog beforehand. Many dogs languish in foster homes because people are keen to actively ‘rescue’ them. Many dogs end up languishing in foster homes here (in Germany)because people are keen to actively ‘rescue’ them. However, a foster carer can tell you far more about the animal than a shelter worker at a centre 1,500 km away housing 200 dogs.
- Really think carefully about whether the breed is right for you. No, a Galgo doesn’t just want walks on a lead, but if he’s had enough exercise, he’ll sleep the rest of the day away. However, a large, fenced-in area is the minimum you should offer him. Many dogs from abroad come from the streets and are descendants of dedicated working dogs, such as livestock guardian dogs. Some breeds simply aren’t meant to be family dogs in overpopulated countries like Germany.
- Keep activities to a minimum with them at the start. I didn’t want to believe it either, but the key thing initially is not to overwhelm the dog with a constant stream of new things (ok, that’s obviously something you only need to take to heart once the dog is already with you).

I’m convinced that there’s something for everyone in the shelters all around the world. Maybe your dream dog is even waiting somewhere near you in your local shelter. You just have to take the time and be honest with yourself.

This little Weimaraner girl shall brighten your Thursday. For those of you who had a "horse" in the match yesterday, I hope you are not too sad or didn't celebrate too much. I like football when I'm not too involved, but nearly caught myself rooting for England... because of the German coach, of course. ;) Sorry.

Skye’s giving us the major side-eye today. Can't blame her—humans are a bunch of selfish clowns. Have a fabulous week! Try not to shout at anyone. Sometimes, calm indifference hits way harder.
