  1. Tucker used to be ok if he had several ginger snaps shortly before the ride. Otherwise, vomit!
  2. Glad it is going well. I've never used muzzles on introductions. I usually had three dogs, and took in two at a time from a previous home. The two were never a bonded pair, but probably gave each other courage. I would walk them outside with each of mine, one at a time, then take them on leash into the yard. After lots of sniffing, leashes came off. Never had a problem. My cats are barn cats, so never had to deal with indoor cat introductions. Hope it all continues positive for you!

    My Mickey left that way in September. Hugs!
  4. Yay! Sounds like it may be time to get a second dog!
  5. Hoping he gets back to normal once the drugs are out of his system. Be glad that this is being handled in the hospital, rather than at home!
  6. I like the harness lead. They can't back out of it, and it is a soft rounded rope that doesn't rub. It is a one piece harness and lead combined. There is a YouTube video that explains it.
  7. My sweet brood momma, Misty, is gone. My group got ten brood moms from Kansas in February 2013. I adopted Misty and her litter mate,Gigi (Glimmering Gems). I picked them up at the hospital after their sprays, and brought them home to meet their three grey brothers. Two weeks later, Misty began to bleed from her girlie parts. By the time we got to the hospital, she had lost close to 50% of her blood. She required several transfusions and another surgery. She had developed an allergic reaction to the internal sutures after her spay. The tissue around each suture pulled away, and one of the sutures poked a tiny hole in an artery. We entered the hospital lobby with blood pooling on the floor behind her. Hospital front desk staff were calling for doctors, buckets, and mops. They had never seen that much blood on the floor, because Misty kept moving from person to person to say hello. The doctors were not sure that she would make it, but she did fine. Hospital staff still talk about that day. Misty was used as a poster girl for one of the hospital's blood drives. The poster showed a photo of her receiving oxygen when she was admitted, and another of her smiling and healthy due to blood being available when she was bleeding out. She was a favorite at the hospital. She had several other issues going on, and had to be checked every week for months, then every couple of months.she always came in with a smile, wearing beads, flowers, or a hat. Hospital staff often took her picture when she arrived. Wearing those same outfits, she was a great meet and greet dog. Everyone loved Misty, and she loved everyone. When my boss dog died on Labor Day weekend, Misty stepped up and became the new boss. She kept the others in line, like a brood mom should! In mid October, she gradually developed several unexplained symptoms. My local vet and three doctors at the specialty hospital were working on ruling out several medical issues to determine the cause of her symptoms. Last week everything hit her at once and we ran out of time. She was loved by many, and will be missed. Hug your hounds! You don't know when you will run out of time! Would someone please update her greyhound data page? Thanks!
