Roadrunner Pharmacy in Phoenix AZ has been doing Gus's Taco compounding for years. Have never had any issues with them and their prices are reasonable. No problems with delivery either. http://www.roadrunnerpharmacy.com/

Thank you Jeff.

Yes it is a very long list....Miss Rose and Gustopher P are on it and I miss them both dearly along with the rest of my bridge babies. But what consoles me is that very long list is hounds and pups and people who were loved. All of these many many hounds were loved and cherished, found couches of their own, were able to live out their lives as we would hope all pets should. These were very lucky hounds indeed..... Thanks for being the "keeper of the bridge list" L.

Its always a hard decision. I know you will make the choice based on what is best for Wonder and not on what is best for your heart. Our love of our hounds can truly be a curse at times. I have had to make these choices twice in the last six months and understand how you feel. I hold you and Wonder close and wish you wisdom.... L.

Logan will travel with you always, close at hand, in the places that were his within your family and life. Whenever you think of him, there he will be.

I'm so very sorry that you had to say goodbye to such a precious hound. Strider must have been a very special hound indeed. Your love for your handsome Strider is reflected in your choices from your heart. You hold him close with open hands... Another big handsome bright star in the night sky of the Solstice. L.

These older gentlemen of ours are truly special. They are kind and wise and show us how to love all of our hounds by giving all of their love to us. You were blessed by his love as he was blessed by yours. Leslie

Sometimes I think that they come to us for a reason. That reason may not be apparent right away but soon reveals itself when they are gone. Our angel hounds smooth out the wrinkles in our life. I'm so very sorry that you have had to say goodbye to your precious girl. L.

She looked sad in the first picture because she wasn't home with you yet. Beautiful Ember....

into a million pieces. How do I say goodbye to my big man. How do I say goodbye to this big white cow upholstered manhound who has so dominated my life with his gentle presence for so long. I don't know how..... He came to us on the wings of loss and sadness, hand picked, or should I say paw picked, by my hearthound Ryce. The loss of Ryces' two companion hounds, Bo and Jim, within four weeks had devastated Ryce. He needed another hound with him so we let him pick his own new couchmate immediately. He chose the biggest hound in the kennel, a big beautiful marathon racer who was known by everyone at the track. Gustopher P and Ryce were joined at the hip from the beginning. They always seemed to have each others back from the moment the met. He came home with us that very day and settled into his new home like he had always been here and quietly took over the duties of "man of the house", sharing the responsibility with Ryce. He became the protector of his area of operation and guardian of his girlie hounds. He welcomed the new hounds into the house without even a twitch of the tail and made room for the newcomer with the poise and grace of a diplomat. He protected his home and territory from intruders with his intensly fierce and powerful growling bark. In the dead of night, he hunted for interlopers in his "hood" and took them to task, verbally and physically, dispatching them from his presence without a second look back. We knew that we were completely safe from the neighborhood cats, dogs, door to door people, bugs, leaves, miscreants and terrorists that lurked nearby. He protected us all, his women, who were not to be molested in any way, shape or form on his watch. He was completely at ease with his feminine side, playfully teasing the girlie hounds and tolerating their antics in the backyard. He allowed them first choice of cookies and treats and let them be their pushy little selves in any group activity, with his big goofy smile and an overly happy tail. He loved them all in his quiet protective way. But most of all, he loved me. His smile and laugh were a gift to me every time I walked into the house. He had a silly toothy grin that never failed to make me laugh out loud. He loved to put his head in my lap, nose buried, sitting quietly like that for the longest time. He loved to be scratched, anywhere, any time and any way that he could get it. He would stare at me with his big beautiful eyes and my heart would melt into a warm puddle of love. He has always asked for so little and given so much in return. Osteo has taken so many of our precious hounds from all of us and it has taken one more. With this theft it has robbed me of my heart, shattering it during the taking, leaving me with the many pieces to put back where they belong. So how do I say goodbye to my good man? My telling you all of him and his ways has shown me how. One day at a time, one piece of my heart put back at a time. I have given myself permission to think and to breath and to remember and to talk about him with those who love him too, with those who understand. I have given myself permission to have my good days about it and my bad days and to cry whenever I feel like it. I have given myself permission to be human and wait for the sadness of loss to change slowly into the fondness of memory that makes my heart laugh with all the love he gave me. It will happen as it is suppose to. I have said my goodbyes to his physical self. I will never say goodbye to Gus and his life with me because he will always be here in my heart where he belongs. He is forever intricately woven into the fabric of my heart, my memories and my life with my hounds. I miss my good man, my big man, my Gustopher P Jones (Pimpmaster G) Good night my big baby boy............

Gustopher P Jones has had Pannus for years. He's on Tacrolimus gtts and I order it from Roadruner Pharmacy (they are a compounding pharmacy) in Phoenix. He started with one drop each eye twice a day and as it cleared up he's been on one drop each eye a day. My Rx is about 15ml and it lasts for months and it cost me $40.00. I also limit Gus's time out in the bright sunshine as it can exacerbate Pannus. He does most of his best hunting of bugs and terrorists in the mornings early hours and evening. Thank goodness it is the least of the worries that I've had with all my hounds over the last 15 years. Many vets use different drugs to manage this lifetime disease. See a specialist (doggie eye doctor) as many vets aren't clear or up to date on current treatment options. Pannus developes over a period of time and not so much as an acute issue.

His pictures and video made my heart smile. We never seem to be able to keep them forever like we want. L

I am grateful for the hopeful update. L.

I know how frightened you must be. I pray with all my heart that Cash makes an uncomplicated and uneventful recovery.

Andy and Emmy Judy - I know how much you must miss Andy and Emmy both. They have always been my favorite ultimate love story. No matter how often I think of them, it brings a tear of sadness at the loss to not only you and your family, but for the rest of us too. Andys heart was as big as the Universe but his special houndheart was even bigger for you and Emmy. Hugs from us L.

Another bright star in the night sky, lighting the way for those yet to come.

Aw Janet! What next? Nothing but a trip south. Looks like its getting time to run away from home! Poor baby!

We are saddened by the loss of this obviously much loved hound, Miss Millie. L.

Oh Alisha. She will be there in your heart and will stay there always because she has colored your world with her presence in your life. She may be gone but her colors remain. They are the warm colors her favorite spot to sleep. They are the quiet colors of padding paws as she moves through the house. They are the cool colors of a spring breeze that drift through your soul in her special place in the yard. She has painted your perception of all of your past hounds and those yet to come to you. These hounds of ours change our view of ourselves and the world around us. This is the gift our hounds give to us in the time we are given with them, each with their own palate of color. May the colors of Paradise help your heart heal. L.

Welcome from Miami! I LOVE to read!

Welcome from Miami

How hard it is to say goodbye to one so richly loved. How lucky, no blessed, that you both had one another to color your lives. I hope your heart heals well and true with wonderful memories of Penny. L.
