my deepest sympathies with the loss of your will.

i'm sorry to read this about cricket. like you with cricket, what i would've given to have had our nikki's pain be taken away. btw, thanks for your post after i said nik left. you id'd her as a "boy" which make me laugh, but i really needed it through that (and still) difficult time for me.

we were told when we started giving tramadol to nikki that at higher dosage amounts, especially if administered tid or qid, it could make her a little loopy.

glad to read it's not cancer! hope what you propose to do will take care of it.

i'm so sorry to read about this. rest well, phoenix.

she looks great!

i'm so sorry to read of your loss.

sheila, i've been away on vacation and did not see this until now. you have my sympathies. k, you're an awesome boy and i hope you'll meet our nikki and alex at the bridge.

awesome...hope everything turns out well for all concerned!

i'm sorry to learn of your loss.

sorry to learn this about darius.

she left way too soon...

what a great-looking pup...congratulations!

sorry to read about having to let lager go.

i'm sorry to read this about snowy.

sorry to read about this.

our first greyhound, alex, was diagnosed with an amelanotic malignant melanoma that grew between two of his lower incisors. surgery was really the only viable option. he had several lower front teeth and part of his lower jaw removed. his lower lip was then stitched over the hole. unless you looked under his mouth you'd never know he had had surgery. fortunately, his margins were clear because my wife caught it early. the tumor never came back. he just drooled a little more when he waited for food or treats. hoping for the best for your carly...

yes, it is. when we received our complimentary copy of the desk calendar last year, we were surprised to find that her picture happened to be on the page facing the week's page that included her birthday. and so i've often kept just her page opened so i could look at it. and then to have her go just one week before her birthday...it all seems a little weird. never would we have imagined things would work out this way. she would often leap off the front porch, play-bow, and turn circles on the grass you see in the picture. and then she'd jump back onto the porch to be let inside. she was such a goof. i was fortunate to get the shot. i cropped the image more closely to remove a lot of distracting background. i submitted the picture for the calendar although i didn't think it was good enough to be chosen (a little too out of focus for me). i was wrong.

nik left us exactly a week ago today, but we wish our girl a happy 13th birthday nonetheless. we love you and miss you.

i'm very sorry about your losing brady. he's such a handsome hound.

sorry to learn of this. she's beautiful, indeed.

nikki is now home. she rests alongside alex. i miss her ever-happy face, her helicopter tail, her running in circles, tossing stuffies and touching them with her nose in the living room when she knew she was going to be fed, the ease with which she roached, how her ears stood upright, and a multitude of other things she did... but now she's home, and that is good.

happy 12th, beecher. you are much loved.

we go and visit nik one last time tomorrow morning. we'll pick up her ashes in the afternoon and bring her home.

sorry to read about this.
