Such a beautiful tribute to a beautiful girlie - hugs and sympathy

Hugs to you - I too remember the post and bam bam - what a great ride he had at your house - damn os

Oh my gosh - our experience has been so different -- although we named beware of phog, so it was not the same from the beginning - everybody could not have been nicer ----- dawn (his owner) of course knew of us anyway since we named him - but was fabulous and totally gracious. Henry and Belinda Parker, his trainers, we're so nice - even though there were big stretches of time when we had no idea what the heck was going on with him -- keep in mind the number of dogs in the kennel they are responsible for feeding, training, racing and post race stuff - they are really busy folks! But always so friendly and appreciative of our interest, ect. WEDNESDAY IS THE DAY!!!!! We have actually arrived in st Pete already and will be at derby lane Wednesday morning to get our boy . Update soon

What a beautiful life - still it hurts so bad. Hugs to you

Darling - love the fuzzies!!

Maybe bag balm - from a vet or farm supply? I think it's made for tender cow udders but supposedly is a wonder drug

Hang in there. I was so blessed to have teddy Palmer (halfway home greyhounds) that I phoned/emailed several times a day for help and advice. I agree the laser treatments really seemed to help. Try not to worry (hahahahahaha - me saying this is really funny.).

Our sons four year old had a stoke on December 2. He lives outside DC on the Maryland side - so had great neuro care in leesburg va. I went for 10 days to be nurse to her so he could go to work everyday. Her experience - he found her lethargic and obviously Ill at noon on a Tuesday - took her immediately to his regular vet where all three vets looked at her and referred her on for neuro and Mri in leesburg. She had neuro care and Mri there. She spent the night there and was released on Wednesday afternoon. She stood up for the first time on her own when I arrived at his house late Thursday evening...and the progress started. She was able to walk with a 'towel harness' on Friday I think. She started rehab I'm thinking between 1-2 weeks out. They did laser treatments and put her in the underwater treadmill. Her progress was very steady with improvements everyday. My dh and I flew back to Maryland to spend Christmas So she would not have to travel long distance or be boarded. Carlinda, I am blessed to say, is close to 100%. I don't really feel like I can offer you any advice, as your situation is clearly different than ours - have you checked with rehab to see if they board there? Not sure this will help you,I'd be happy to try to answer any questions you have. Feel free to pm me or just use this thread I'll try to remember/help.

All heart indeed - beautiful tribute to beautiful Maggie. My sympathy to you Jane

I didn't explain that very well (as usual for me lol). Since phog had been injured we werent crazy about him making the trip in a hauler - so we didn't even inquire. Protective mommy here already. Plus I am not a huge fan of winter - a few days out of cold weather will be welcome -

In our case we are driving to Florida to get beware of phog.....we leave on Thursday!!!!! in our case we didn't even ask if there were any other possibilities - so next week we are officially "watching and waiting" alumni. I will post updates soon on how our girls take to their new brother - I promise to try to learn to post pictures

Tricia - Murray has been a special gt ambassador.....such a special guy. I have to admit I just couldn't make it thru your sweet tribute yet. My heart hurts for you and Burke . Tonite a toast to Murray

Made me misty -- win and rivie won a costume contest in their bow wow bonnets . Donna put lots of love in each of her creations and seemed genuinely pleased when you contacted her to let her know how you loved her handiwork -- I know my bridge babies were there waiting to give Donna a big roo

Wrigley, vinny and Rohan all in my thoughts and prayers - cancer sucks

Happy tears here too! Way to go sweet twiggy!!!

Selene -- ahhhhh I laughed out loud at the photo standing on the hotel vanity - hahahaha - Selene will keep you entertained so please post her antics often so we can enjoy too! Just loved the story of Selene as we are ready to head (drive) to Florida in a little over a week to pick up our beware of Phog to join ronee and jill on the couch. I think of 'my chess dogs' and their adventures often - the good old days .

Thinking of you and twiggy - our sons four year old grey had a stroke 12-2-15.....its so scary. His pup has fully recovered . So wishes for the same for twiggy

Just saying a prayer for jolley and all his fans -

Hi Sarah - good luck meeting your new potential guy -- good luck and a big welcome from Oklahoma

Welcome from Oklahoma - looking forward to pictures from you soon - where are you located?

My heart hurts with he family - skin and fur -- how sad.......

Hi from Oklahoma -- looking forward to seeing lots of pictures soon

Thanks! We're excited to bring him home:). I've been pretty quiet for awhile as we wait this one out - but it seems to be moving along now just fine. It does, for sure, complicate things when there is an injury. I can't wait to post in a few weeks that he's on my couch!

Beware of phog is our w&w to- be. his injury is healed and he will be neutered dec 23 - we are driving to Florida to pick him up mid January. For those of you who aren't familiar - we named this guy as a pup and have followed his career at derby lane. Got to meet him and all of his track buddies this fall and will be bringing him home very soon to join our family.

Beautiful story beautifully told in a tribute to such a wonderful best bud. Hugs from me with tears in my eyes
