Sheri, more positive thoughts and prayers for Chevy to get well real fast. Keep us posted please, lots of people are concerned for you, Greg and Chevy. C'mon Chevy...get well soon!

Oh, you and Greg must be so worried about Chevy. Hopefully it's nothing serious and he will get well on his own. Sending good thoughts and cyberhugs for a speedy recovery.

I'm so sorry...this must be so heartbreaking.

Oh Eva, I'm just reading this now and I can't imagine what you've been going through. Sending good wishes to You, Tim and the puppers hoping Carrier will get well. Take care of yourselves.

My girl Bailey statures a lot...she did it constantly when we first got her and another grey owner came over once a week so we could go for a walk with another pup. Thank goodness the heaviest she has reached is about 64.5 pounds because I had to carry her a lot. Here's was strictly fear based. Now she does it and I just have to coax her and tug her leash quickly to get her going. When she does walk well, I give her a treat but never while she's statuing. How long have you had him. Bailey was OK for the first 3 days because she was shell-shocked but once the shock wore off, this became a huge problem. Try not to fuss too much so he doesn't see it as reinforcement of his behviour but make sure you are the leader. For example, if you decide to turn around bring him around in a circle so he thinks he following you even though you end up going in the direction he probably wants to go. I really had to learn how to give gentle tugs with purpose and sometimes two or three in a row but after 3 years she's a lot better. Perhaps you can walk with a friend who has a dog, even if it is a different breed. This helped us.

Ditto. I'm sorry. That's a very hard place to be. I can't think of anything to add...I'm so sorry to hear this.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry...thankfully you found each other.

I'm so sorry. Thank you for sharing such a lovely tribute to your beautiful girl.

Marla looks so happy and content...you can see the love. I'm so sorry for your loss and heartache.

This must be very heartbreaking...I'm so sorry...she sounded like such a little sweetie.

Sometimes things work out just as they are supposed to. A couple from our group took home their 2nd choice and just love him so they are very happy. A family with 2 children picked their first choice so they couldn't say no to the kids. Their new pup is a real sweetie and follows her all around the house.

Welcome from Waterloo and someone who knows what fartlek means...although I don't train, rather just prod along!

Oh, Jennifer, I'm just reading this now. I too, am struggling for words but my thoughts and prayers go out to you right now. I shed a few tears when you guys drove away on Monday but when I read this...the finality of it is so heartbreaking. I can't imagine how much pain you are in right now. No one could have loved him more...may he live forever in your heart (and lot of others too). I'm so so sorry Jennifer. Good-bye Scooter...Run free, sweetie.

Julie, I am so sorry to hear about your beloved Gigi...my heartfelt thoughts go out to you at this difficult time.

This is such sad news. My heartfelt thoughts go out to you and Larry. You have all been through so much lately...Earl was loved by many people and will be missed.

Jennifer, I just saw this...hope all goes well and your vet knows a lot about eyes since she didn't refer you to a vet ophthamologist.

OMG..I just saw the pictures in another post...I'm so sorry to hear about this! It must have been very painful.

How can people be so cruel???? I am so sorry to hear this...my deepest sympathy.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.

It's always so sad to hear this...my sincerest sympathy to all those who knew and loved her

What a beautiful tribute...very touching.

What a beautiful tribute...I had no idea what Katina dogs went through...Mustang was so lucky to have you in the end.

Thank you...I was having difficulty with IE7.
