  1. Oh Ducky, I'm so sorry. Possum looked so comfortable, happy and at home in you house.
  2. could be both Bell's palsy and LS, or a stroke. Did the dog recently have surgery? When Brindle had Bell's they said that many patients that had surgery end up with the palsy. Brindle had open chest surgery 3 months prior.
  3. It's hard to type thru the tears, Jay. Six was way too young. My OS girl lasted 6 months and a few days as well. I also lost a young one (not the same as my OS girl). She was 5 when I lost her to liver disease. She left me 14 yrs ago and all the dogs I have had since then were all her legacy. Including the one that became my heart and soul. The pain will never leave. But it does become bearable.
  4. My first thought was a bug bite or sting.
  5. I'm so sorry! Jonelle was a beautiful girl. I lost 2 very suddenly, both hemangio. But there was some belly swelling before they went. But they just seemed a little off, very little warning.
  6. OMG, I couldn't believe it when I saw her name. I had to double check to make sure it was you posting. Steve I'm so sorry. She was a beautiful girl.
  7. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{Kate}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Godspeed Morgan.
  8. What an elegant Lady. I'm so sorry Wink left to be with her brother.
  9. I pick mine up when I go to an large greyhound event that has many vendors. Then when I see one I like, I pick it up. Dewey beach is coming up in a few weeks if you're interested.
  10. Happy birthday to roooooo Happy birthday to ROOoooooooo Happy birthday dear Bee Wiseman Happy birthday to roooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sung in 5 part harmony by the Heavenly Gemtones: Topaz, Pearl, Diamond, Onyx and Crystal with Brindle orchestrating.
  11. Any and Tim, your Kingsley was an exceptionally handsome man. I'm so sorry he left for the Bridge.
  12. some hypertension is caused by other diseases but not all the time. Pearl's cardiologist spent 7 yrs looking for the cause of her not-quite-under-control hypertension. But in the end, it was idiopathic. I did mention this to Dr. Couto at one time and he said that greyhounds do seem to have idiopathic hypertension. But do keep an eye on it. I thought we were doing very well when one day during a walk Pearl's eyes were moving rapidly and she was swaggering. Lasted maybe 30 seconds. I thought vestibular, but decided to check with her cardiologist. Vet said come in now. Pearl's BP was 300. From that point on we did a BP check every 6 weeks. However, in the end, I lost her to cancer.
  13. Start slow. Maybe just stick your finger in the side of his mouth for a second. Without the brush. With the toothpaste. Do this daily, reward each step of the way. After he accepts the finger, then move the finger in a brushing motion. Only a few seconds. Work up to longer times. Then when he's totally comfortable add the brush but just put it between his cheek and teeth. Don't brush. Once he's comfortable, then brush. Baby steps. just baby steps. With rewards all along the way.
  14. I ended up giving my girls Comfortis. When they had their bath the next day they couldn't find any fleas, not even dead ones. I have wooden floors and they've all been vacuumed and the beds washed. I haven't seen anything and am keeping my fingers crossed. I did get them before they got too bad, so that's a plus.
  15. Oh Judy. how horrible it to happen so fast like that. "a healthy 13 yr old" running around, then gone. My heart aches for you. She was a beautiful girl and you're her Mom as much as Trish was.
  16. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Tonya}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} I remember meeting you and Vinnie and Rex back in the day (the day of my Topaz and Brindle). I'm so so very sorry that your Chase had to leave you now.
  17. Sarah, I am so sorry to hear that Manero is gone. I always thought he was so handsome when you showed pictures of your gang. Borzois are so beautiful
  18. Faith, I'm so very sorry you lost your beloved Phaedra. She was such a special friend to you.
