[Mr. Murphy]

He really was someone special. I'm so sorry he had to leave.

[Received A Warning For Noise]

I agree with those who say to reach out to the neighbors. Also, I would go farther than saying your dog is new and has anxiety. I would try to explain in detail what is happening, and what you're doing to help him through his anxiety. I would not ditch the crate if he hasn't shown that he knows the proper way to behave loose in the house. He will get there, but he probably needs more time.

 

Good luck

[Inhaling Kibble To Point Of Choking]

I pour water on the kibble, then drain the water so all that's left is moist kibble. He still inhales it, but it's now lubed for safety.

 

I've seen several posters here comment about how helpful the break fast bowl has been for their greys. I like the cookie sheet idea - I may have to try that one!

[Could You Spare Some Prayers For Ace?]

What a tough little girl she is. and that she prevails yet again

[Ancestors To Avoid?]

I don't know who Bootsy's parents are, so it wouldn't be useful to me anyway. I know my pets are going to die before I do, so whatever takes them, takes them. I hope it is simply old age, but it may not be.

[Sedation When Traveling]

I have heard here that ace doesn't really help them relax - their minds can still go a mile a minute, but their bodies won't cooperate, so the anxiety is actually heightened.

 

Many folks on here have had good luck with melatonin.

She was so lovely, Jen, and you were both blessed to have each other, even for a short time.

[Good Thoughts For Pinky Will Be Much Appreciated]

 

Keep up the good work, Pinky!

[To Coat Or Not To Coat?]

I used to think coats were more for people than the dogs. Then Bootsy made it clear to me that he gets cold. So I bought him a nice fleece. He even sleeps in it sometimes. But Argos never wore a coat.

[Good Thoughts For Pinky Will Be Much Appreciated]

 

So glad it went well.

[Infection After A Dog Bite]

I have no advice, but wookit dat face!

for Stella

 

for you

[Bone Cyst?]

I don't know from normal bones, but those are some lovely intestines

[Prospective Parent]

I have a 3 year old. He was a newborn when we lost our first grey, and only 2 months old when we adopted Bootsy. Just like everything else in parenting, you teach limits and give structure and guidelines, and everyone is fine.

[Prospective Parent]

Our hound is alone from 8am-6pm daily without any problems.

[Gee Needs All The Prayers She Can Get]

Good girl, Gee!

[Prajna 9/14/1998 - 10/17/2011]

I'm really sorry. How very sad you must be.

 

[Steak]

this sucks

[Bee Wiseman]

What a gift, to have that glorious weekend at Dewey with Bee, before you had to say goodbye. I'm so very sorry for this terrible loss. Your tribute so clearly comes from your heart. Bee was one in a million.

 

She is remembered, and she always will be.

[Is It Just My Dogs....?]

Argos ran a lot, and frequently had little nicks on his legs. Bootsy doesn't romp as often, so it's less frequent, but he does get them, even when he didn't run into anything or go through bushes. Curiouser and curiouser

[How To Even Begin?]

[Piaget / C Ya Piaget]

Oh Lisa. I'm absolutely stunned. I'm so incredibly sorry.

[Pain Without Being Lame?]

This is exactly what Bootsy just went through. It turned out that it was muscular. He was crying and pacing and panting on Friday. By Monday when we went to the vet, he was totally fine. Good luck

[Foul Smelling Waxy Substance On Lower Back Legs?]

I had a dog who got stressed easily, and when he did, his anal glands would let go. Smelled horrendous. Could that be it?
