Loved this story! 😂

thank you!

My little rescue chihuahua is the same, he’s found his dog friends over the past year or so just by chance and seeing his awkward self thrive in their company makes my heart so full

And here’s a bunch of photos of him at day care

The third photo is basically two teenagers being forced to have their photo taken together

This was such a delightful article. Thank you for giving Basil a good life. I love his pink onesies!

patricklenton.bsky.social•105 days ago

Thanks so much! He has a fantastic wardrobe

Am I spotting a Houndtee™️? Asking, because the founder Jen is an old pal and hardcore greyhounder. She loves seeing them in the wild, so don't be shy sharing on IG etc if you're both there...

angryhagfish.bsky.social•105 days ago

beautiful story. and as a former weird and anxious kid with a weird and anxious dog who just started daycare - very relatable!

kaydo.bsky.social•105 days ago

I love this so much. Yay Basil.

natbeer.bsky.social•105 days ago

It's so great watching them come out of their shells, but such a hideous shame they need to.

homeisnothere.bsky.social•105 days ago

I love both you little freaks. Signed, another freak weirdo (and happy with it)

Does he get twitchy when Americans pronounce his name the way they do the 'erb?

❤️❤️❤️❤️

That’s such a beautiful piece.
Being the third owner of a most unsocialised skittish pandemic puppy Dalmation, who wanted to play but was also fearful when we got her, I can relate.
She’s now a happy oddball

Highly relatable - I was my primary school’s first and only ‘library monitor’. I also have awkward daycare greyhounds!

A thoroughly charming and funny piece. Support the Guardian at $15/mo if you are able. Replaces Bezos pathetic WaPo for me.

Standard aloof greyhound behaviour, they get along famously with each other, beautiful loving dogs.

kimmylea.bsky.social•105 days ago

When I take my dog Chase to a park and let him off his lead to run with other dogs, he just stands behind me. If I turn around, he moves around to still stand behind me. He's just like "can we go home now?"

Loved this story, thanks!

zem-australia.bsky.social•105 days ago

aww... Basil is living the good life 🥰

mstruewilberry.bsky.social•104 days ago

A wonderful piece, Patrick. There were some tears while reading it (good ones - some from laughing). Darling Basil is a lucky boy and you two are a delightful duo 💖

patricklenton.bsky.social•104 days ago

Thank you!!!

thatznotmyname.bsky.social•105 days ago

I just read this and OMG my heart 💖
Great he’s coming along so well Patrick.

stuartbland.bsky.social•105 days ago

My BIL has one of those😍
