RIP Bear

That's just so heartbreaking - I'm so sorry

I have two white hounds but I don't hoover everyday! When we moved into this house we just made sure to get carpets and sofas that wouldn't show white hairs. I'm sure everything is covered in a thin veneer of white greyhound hairs though .

Hi Claire Yet another UKer here. Your dogs are lovely - the blue one with specks is very unusual. We used to go to Weston super Mare for holidays when I was a child but I can't really remember it very well (long time ago!). Never heard it called Weston super Mud, but that's very funny! I'm sure you'll enjoy GreyTalk.

I'm so sorry you didn't have longer with him - RIP Thane.

And what would the last part of his life have been like without you in it? I'm so sorry your journey together on earth has ended - RIP Lee Lee.

Foxy sounds rather special, and so do you for doing all that you do for cancer research .

Too tragic for words ... I am so sorry ... rest in peace, baby Oliver.

I'm so sorry ... rest in peace, Dodge.

As you say, he will always be in your heart .

I'm so very sorry ... life is just so unfair sometimes ... RIP Lexie.

Sorry - I missed the part in your original post where you said he was already having chiropractic .

He looks amazing!

As the xrays haven't shown up anything, why not take him to a chiropractor to see if that helps? Sunny has had intermittent lameness on his left front leg and the first vet had no idea what was causing it. The second (greyhound) vet we saw found a problem in his neck with a misalignment of one of the bones. He said this injury is very common in greyhounds, mostly after a fall or collision. Sunny had had a collision with his sister 10 weeks before we saw any symptoms. We tried painkillers and muscle-relaxants but they didn't cure the problem. The second vet said he could manipulate Sunny's neck under anaesthetic but I wanted to try a chiropractor first as I felt that was less invasive and risky. So, to cut a long story short, Sunny has seen the chiropractor 5 times now and is very much improved. He is going longer and longer between appointments, the last interval being almost 3 months. Might be worth trying before going down the MRI route?

That must have been such a tough decision but it sounds like he's going to a lovely "retirement home" and he'll still get to see you too so I'm sure he'll be fine.

Yes, those times when reality hits are really hard, but she'll always be with you in your heart.

I'm so sorry you had to say goodbye ... RIP Tessie .

Far too young. I'm so sorry. He certainly was beautiful and obviously a great character.

I'm sorry you had to say goodbye ... rest in peace, Woody.

What a beautiful boy - I'm so sorry you had to say goodby - RIP Chase.
