  1. I don't think crates are used very often in the UK but another consideration is a gate across the doorway rather than closing it. It sounds like she needs to be near you at night as well. Perhaps someone has Kathleen Gilley's article handy to post...it may also help.
  2. Happy Bridge Birthday to sweet Shelby.
  3. What a handsome boy. Congratulations and thanks for sharing pics. I look forward to many more pics and stories.
  4. He was a fun houndie to know here on GT and is missed.
  5. I am so heartbroken right now. Treasure, I know you are in a better place free from pain, but I will miss you so much. I remember how we all went for walks, and you and I often lagged behind the others. Dave called us the "old ladies" but I never minded, you just walked quietly by my side happy to be in the moment. I will miss your greetings at the door, and how you curled up so peacefully on the sofa, as long as you were still awake. I hope Iker and Allen will be ok, you've left a huge hole in many hearts. I will always love you, miss you and remember you (Dave, Ben and Brooke too!). Robin, you know how sorry I am for your loss, let me know if you need anything, even just to talk.
  6. I agree with the comments about the heat but not about endurance. Brooke could easily run 5 miles the last few years with Ben without a lot of training for distance other than long walks, however, Ben is much too interested in smelling things so we stopped taking him, and Brooke won't run without Ben. I believe endurance has more to do their general fitness, how fit you keep your greys, rather than the fact they were sprinters. At 11, Ben still walks the same distances as Brooke, our 6 year old. I knew of someone who took her grey with her while marathon training, but we have about 6 months here where heat isn't a problem. I should also add that running with me is a slow little trot for them
  7. I'm so sorry for your loss...he was very handsome and well-loved.
  8. Try leaving the crate with the door open and a comfy pillow outside the crate to see what he prefers. I am not a crate person so I would have taken it down long ago. My opinion may be biased because I would only use it for safety/security reasons. Mine have the entire home to move around so you may have very different views
  9. I'm so sorry kyle. I hope you find comfort knowing her last years were her best years
  10. I have met sweet Rita and never thought she would be a stuffy killer like this
  11. Welcome...I've always used 1/4 cup increments when introducing new food. If they're poops are normal for a week or so, then I up it to 1/2 cup for a couple of weeks and so on. If they develop the big D, then I cut back a bit and slowly work up again. This works for us. btw, there are some uploading pic instructions under technical forum that are really helpful...we love to see pics and hear stories. eta: I think Yamaha_Gurlhere on GT has a cane corso
  12. for Rita and for you since you must be so worried
  13. Irene, I'm so sorry to hear this. My condolenses to all who knew and loved T-cup.
  14. Congratulations and welcome! She's beautiful.
  15. After talking to Christine, I don't think he's going anywhere soon She really loves him and he is one very happy pup.
  16. Hope he is okay...sending lots of good thoughts.
  17. I kept forgetting my camera but he really looks remarkable considering what he went through. Mary you should come to GIG next year with your camera
  18. I met Freddy and got to love on him for a few minutes. He looks wonderful and his secretary momma Christine said he's doing so well and is very thankful. He just has a couple of scars...you'd never know it was the same pup from his initial pics.
  19. What do you use for Heartworm meds? My vet only sells revolution but I would prefer giving a pill rather than a topical.
  20. I'm so sorry Melissa. You gave him the best gift of all...a wonderful life and knew when to let him go. The hardest decision is also the most loving and unselfish, albeit very painful. No matter how much longer he lived, it would not be long enough. May your sweet boy rest in peace, pain free, knowing he was loved by you.
  21. I'm so sorry for your loss and so very sorry it was cancer.
