That's about right for a grey dog no doubt

And some water

He obviously isnt fit, yet ;)

My only suggestion would be to use caution when moving things in the yard. Dogs get a trusted zomie path and will run right into a new object. My Doberman got a cracked skull once. A boat trailer was moved 2 feet and he hit it head on. That dog is so happy. Plenty of room to play. One lucky dog.

What negative comments a beautiful green backyard for Max to run in.

Looks awesome to me

Who would?

I don’t know where you are from but, last I looked, I live in a free country. I’ll say what I want and you are more than welcome to reply. 😎

and to "go inside" for water too.

thank you! 💖

He is more interested in his boundaries, and when he finds out how huge, zooming is a response, don’t care about no ball right now.

Very nice!

@@Max-the-Greyhound ha ha so funny he doesn’t give a bugger about the ball. He’s just utterly thrilled to just run and run and run and run.😂❤🎉

Like firemen you mean?

why 'especially' greyhounds? All dogs are sentient and intelligent, all dogs need a loving home.

@steve80239 Greyhounds aren't rescued. They are retired and adopted. They're never in any danger.

​@@jameschan9634 I was thinking "animals" but, that's just me...

@@momtotywhat rubbish. There have been two enquiries into cruelty in the greyhound racing industry in Australia in the past five years. There are hundreds of dogs euthanised when no longer able to race. You just have to look at some of the people involved in dog and horse racing to know what goes on

It is truly amazing how many people have a problem with zero-scaping these days. Natural yards just aren't good enough for some people.

@@billybarrett5223 agree.

@@billybarrett5223 In the summer, my rescued Feist does her zoomies around the colonies of goldenrod and fleabane in our yard. And lies in the clover. And we all hear the bees. Good for you!

Just got to watch out for bees when it's in flower

@@billybarrett5223 It's taken me four summers to rehabilitate the front yard at my parents's former house -- including one year where the city tore out a third of the yard to completely rebuild the street and left me with pebbly, hard-compacted, sterile dirt. This year I finally got green cover without having to water the yard even a single time. Only green ground cover that wants to grow under those conditions gets to stay. All work is done by bare hands or with non-electric/non-motorized equipment, and by me all by myself. I was even able to fill in some squirrel-dug bare patches with transplanted grass clumps that had been flourishing in driveway cracks. It drives my retired, yard-obsessed next-door neighbor with the uniformly green, spongy grass crazy, because he thinks my yard just looks so primitive compared to his, and probably also thinks I should quit my 60+-hours-per-week job and spend all my time making my yard match his.

I saw that too! And I love how he gives a slight nod to the toys as he passes them! I had to watch this several times!

So sweet!

Sounded like a horse 🐴

It's funny how in 10 strides he teaches one end of it though hahaha

When I rescued my Irish Setter 12 years ago, we went to a closed doggy park. The zoomies went on for 3 hours......

He's playing dead so no one takes him away from this heaven

We adopted 3 greyhounds over the years . This video defines the hounds , amazing burst of speed and than a long nap .

@IrishSetter01 Zoomies are just an Outward Expression of his UNBRIDLED JOY in "KNOWING he is HOME, that there are TWO HOOMANS ..."TWO" HOOMANS HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH HIM JUST FOR BEING HIMSELF! AND HE HAS A HUGE YARD ALL TO HIMSELF (AND HIS NEW HOOMANS) And THERE IS NOT ANOTHER PUP-PUP WHO HE CAN'T PLAY WITH, RUNNING AS HARD AS THEY CAN BECAUSE THEY ARE 'SPOSED" TOO. HE KNOWS that he can run "JUST BECAUSE" HE WANTS TO. THEN HE KNOWS HE CAN FLOP ON THE GROUND "SNORE BREATHING" AND ONE of"HIS" HOOMANS"⁶ WILL RUN TO FETCH HIM SOME WATER! OH WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY FOR THIS PRECIOUS BABY WHO KNOWS that HE CAN DO PRETTY MUCH WHATEVER HE WANTS. HE KNOWS WHAT THIS IS...ITS "HIS" HOUSE, "HIS" BACKYARD, "HIS" HOOMANS.. "HIS HOME" AND *HE KNOWS* "HE IS LOVED"... AND MOST OF ALL HE KNOWS THAT "LIFE IS SO VERY SWEET!"

This yard is mine now, thank you.

Any dog!

Yes I agree. Running freely for the sake of running. NOT for humans as entertainment!

​@@j.thomas7128 *gait

My dog is only part greyhound, but watching her run in our yard is one of my favorite things.

Well, maybe one thing. Greyhound running full out, and their tail is wagging nonstop 😂

That's not running full out. He runs out of yard before he gets more than halfway up to speed.

Cheetah faster

Yeah, I saw that, lol. Ran right past his toy.😅

@@srvntlilly No mere toy can ever replace of joy of simply being free...

@@tiffsaver No, of course not. I even know that for myself. But at that particular moment, he was running for the toy. ☺️

IKR!!😂

Like all of us. 💖

@debramedina5756 He's always been able to breath and stretch his legs, every day of his life.

@@momtoty Oooooo, I feel so dissed now. 😥😥😥😥

But they're using the wrong toys. Clearly they need to use a football because he wants to go long.

He's 6 and a half.

I call them all puppies too 😊

Actually they ‘run free’ as pups, and months before actual training, and some on that is on grass. This isn’t a case of lab animals or zoo animals never being outside of a cage. You can find some of that on KZfaq.

@fifi2154 He's always been able to run free. He also knows what grass is. He's just retired now and tarting a whole new chapter in his life.

Max says hello!! 😍🥰

That would go well with Mazda's zoom, zoom, zoom car adverts. Lol.

I find it helps to administer ice cream 🍦

*Parent 🤦‍♂️

​@katherineklevenow1808 why would giving dairy products to any creature that is lactose intolerant be helpful? 🤔

@@memphisdaniels3218 It was a joke 🤣

​@@memphisdaniels3218*Owner. It's a dog, not your son 🤦‍♂️

@grahamblackall6305 He wasn't rescued, he was retired from racing and adopted. He was never in any danger to be rescued from.

@@momtotyStop. That is inaccurate at MANY dog racing tracks, unfortunately.

@@BBlair-if8tj No it's not inaccurate! What danger are they in? What tracks have you seen greyhounds in danger? When? You must've been to whole lot of tracks to make that statement and I really want to know what tracks they were and what danger did you see yourself? I'll wait for your answers.

My greyhound used to retrieve her squeaky ball. I miss her so much.

I trained my greyhound to retrieve

I stand corrected 🙂

thank you! 💖

Such an accurate description 😂😂

@Monacat123 He's always been happy since birth. They are never rescued, just retired.

@@momtoty Really? You are reprimanding me on use of a word? Sorry you don’t approve but I’m not a fan of Greyhound racing. They are not treated like regular dogs until they stop raving unlike horses I worked for many trainers that let their babies run in the fields until 2 and then they start training, no different than other horses just a different style of riding. I stand by my original post.

@@GoRideConnor You're right, they're not treated like regular dogs, they're treated better. Greyhound puppies get to be puppies for the 1st 14 months of their lives just playing and sleeping all day with their siblings. Other puppies are taken away from their siblings and mother at 8 weeks old. Then once they graduate to the kennels to start training to race, they are with other greyhounds their age every day along with trainers that give them plenty of attention all day, every day. Then they get to race, which is what they love to do. If they could race every day they would, but they only get to race once or twice a week. In between racing they get to play with the other greyhounds, they get walked, groomed, checked by kennel vets, rub downs, sprint runs, belly rubs and treats all day. They have a much better life than most adopted dogs do. Some kennels have whirlpools for them to go in to loosen up tight muscles. Does your greyhound have his own whirlpool? Have you ever been to a kennel?

They are born at the track, where they lie in crates, and run on a dirt track; they have no experience on grass until they get to a foster home. I got my grey just 3 weeks after he was retired, and he took a while to get used to the feel of grass.

@@aardvarkhole that is heartbreaking. all dog tracks should be against the law. permanently

I agree it is an awesome back yard. I would love to plant a bunch of bee friendly perennials along the fence and keep the rest open for the pup to the zoomies.

He's purring!!
