I'm so sorry, Diane. Hope you have much more time to make beautiful memories together.

I'm so very sorry. Run free sweet Cohen. You are beautiful. :f_white

Eva - what a beautiful tribute. Thank you so much for sharing with us. :f_white Carrier was a very lucky hound to have you. I miss seeing you on this forum, Carrier. Run free, sweetheart... I never met you, but I won't forget you. You're an inspiration.

I'm so sorry! :cry1 :f_white Run free, sweet Cody...

Two days? Seems like a long time! How often does he go? Once, twice a day? Maybe you should call the vet and ask for advice.

Welcome from Maine!

Poor Faye! Hope she recovers soon from the dental surgery. I'm sure that, once she's better, she'll find her way around to eating all right! Sending kisses to her.

What a sad day it was that took away your lovely dog when he was still so young. :cry1 Lovely sweet picture. Rest in peace, Charlie.

Oh no... keeping my fingers crossed for Blue and sending many hugs to his family....

Heath is really beautiful! WOW. Welcome to GT from Maine!

Interesting. What sunscreen do all use? Care to recommend any in particular? Thanks!

oh, I hear ya - loud and clear! Merlin recently ripped a toe nail out, and was not able to go for a good run for over two weeks. Yikes! I did walk him gently around the neighborhood, and I tried to play with him more than usual and do some training, both of which really stimulate dogs' brains and tire them out. It really helps. Exercise is not the only form of stimulation that can ensure your hound is tuckered out at the end of the day! Also, anything that is a change from his routine will demand mental energy. When I took Merlin to the ballpark again (boy, was he happy to run again!), I was a delinquent mum and forgot to walk him BEFOREHAND to get him a little warmed up - I only walked him afterwards - and he pulled a muscle. Two days later, he's already on the mend, but just thought I'd mention it here! Glad to hear Sol is doing so much better!

Reallly? I always thought it would be harder with the ladies. When Merlin had a UTI and I had to take a sample of his urine, I just held the cup (provided by the vet) under his penis and it was so easy. With the girls, I'd be concerned about spray, and how do you get under there?? Haha. They seem to pee so close to the ground Can you tell I've never had a female dog?

Max, glad to hear you're back home and I hope you're not too sore, buddy! Merlin needs a dental soon too, I've been putting it off... Sending kisses. and tummy rubs.
