Miss Nancy the Greyhound invites you to spend the day with her! If you are thinking about adopting an ex-racer and wondering how they would fit into your life, or you just love greyhounds, join us and let’s see how she spends her time! She manages to fit in a run on the beach amongst her other activities, so prepare to see where the phrase ‘40mph couch potato’ comes from.
Thanks for watching,
Miss Nancy and Tori
P.s any questions just drop a comment and we will get back to you 💕
A little about us: I adopted my ex-racing greyhound Miss Nancy three years ago, it was a massive learning curve for both of us and we have become the best of friends, who love going on outdoor adventures, wild swims, van camping and finding vegan food out and about! We make videos showing what it’s like to have a greyhound as a pet, the beautiful outdoors, vanlife, and life with a greyhound!
When we aren’t making videos I am a jeweller and illustrator, you can check out my work here:

I lost my wife Lynn to cancer 3 years ago, and my dog passed - what a year 😬 I needed a dog get me out of the house and always wanted an ex racer greyhound. Catch really helped me when I adopted her. 33 kilos of happiness, always snoozing and has selective hearing especially food wrappers opening 😋 but other times totally deaf. Catch fills a huge void and I love her so much. Great video Tori as always ❤️

I love this video!!! Thanks for sharing, Tori. It's very helpful for new greyhound owners like me. Zoe and Miss Nancy seem to be like two peas in a pod. Except Zoe is an early riser and goes crazy in the mornings, so an early morning walk is just what she needs. I am in Australia, so early mornings are better for walks - even when it is only 22 degrees, Zoe is slow and tired and hot and doesn't like walking at all. Do you find that with Miss Nancy? Loved the video and the house looks so cosy for you both ❤❤❤

@missnancysdayoff 6 ай бұрын

Thank you! I love watching other greyhounds to and seeing how similar they are to Miss Nancy it’s precious. Haha that’s god to know, it mjust just be Ms Drew that is a lazy dog! That is lucky for you as you get so much hot weather, Nancy is exactly the same with the temperatures. She starts to slow down by 20 degrees, maybe less if the sun is out! And she is slow and tired and hot just like Zoe. There isn’t really anything I can do except try to walk her when it’s cooler and find some shady woodland. We prefer winter really, 10-15 degrees and we are both full of beans! So glad you liked the video, the house is really nice so we are having a cosy winter 💕

Hi Victoria, aren't algorithms great sometimes? Having been left alone after my Uncle past away six years ago and my Mum last May, the prospect of a companion brought me to your channel. I was the unpaid carer for them so now it maybe time to look after myself. Sighthounds seem to have a distinct character; mostly sleeping then zooming about for half an hour then to sleep again. Every dog is different but they have always been the most loving souls, well at least all the ones I have met. Never take on a pet without careful consideration. I am still at that stage. Thank you for posting , you are both beautiful souls. Except for the Vegan thing....I get it, honestly but......

I like how Nancy has two different ways of getting up the stairs. After watching this video I've come to conclusion that in a previous life I was greyhound that's all I seem to do at the moment is eat and sleep with an occasional runaround. 😂 So Nancy doesn't have like a favourite toy then? If you threw a ball she would not retrieve it? I guess those things whenever presented to her when she was a puppy.

@missnancysdayoff 6 ай бұрын

Yes she does, infact more than two I think it’s precious 😍 Sounds like you are living the dream 🤣 Well she has a lot of toys, but a limited attention span for them. I do throw balls for her, she won’t bring them back but she likes chasing them if she’s in the mood. She had to learn it all she had no idea how to play when she came it was so sad I kind of had to teach her. She now plays a pretty good game of football by herself throwing the ball in the air! But only for five minutes then she gets bored, sensible dog I’d say 🤭
