    This is how she became “I’m Embarrassing”

    in Cute and Funny things Greyhounds do

    Posted

    It is noteworthy and amazing how some greyhounds are sooo loving even to complete strangers.  Even friendly "regular" dogs are not usually like that.  Greyhounds have such a depth of love.  To me it is just more proof of their innate wisdom and why we should appreciate the opportunity to learn from them.  They inherently know that nothing is more powerful or healing than love-even to strangers-and that everyone needs it.

    That is one of the most beautiful tributes I have ever read. I was very moved in reading it and getting the opportunity to know a little of and marvel and yes love Buddy.  There is so much love surrounding him! It is most obvious.  Clearly a super special houndie :beatheart                                                                                                                        :f_red              "For love is as strong as death....
                                                                                                                                                                          Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it.

    Buddy’s first acupuncture session

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Buddy I'm sure you will feel lots better now! I have had acupuncture done on several houndies and they all love love loved it.  In fact one of them, Bobber,  I have to say it could have saved her life! She came down with a terrible high fever that her conventional vet could not bring it down even with IV antibiotics! She tried everything. Nothing worked. Probably was due to a kidney infection.  On like the 4th day the fever was still raging & there was little improvement and I began to fear that she would begin seizuring from the constant high fever and then possibly lose her.  So my acupuncture vet is booked LONG in advance but I called her and explained the urgency and she seen her right away.  When I brought her home from her acupuncture treatment immediately the fever began to go down and she began to make dramatic improvement-quickly-and recovered.  It turned out to be a systemic kidney infection or something like that. Anyway I THINK what happened was her "pathways" had been blocked so she couldn't heal and the antibiotics couldn't work UNTIL she got her accupuncture treatment! IMO the acupuncture must have opened up her "pathways" thus allowing the antibiotics to work.  That is the only explanation I can come up with because before the acupuncture the antibiotics had no effect whatever.. As soon as she got acupuncture they began working. Acupuncture is the bees knees in my opinion!

    My heart is breaking for you.  Sending much love and my deepest sympathy.  

    The Way

    In the darkness I turned to go; my last day's

    done; I'll miss you so. No time even to say

    goodbye or to lock the tears spilling from

    your eyes.

    That's when I heard you call my name;

    I knew right then I must turn back to help ease your pain.

    Since I've no voice with which to speak,

    its whispers in your dreams I'll make.

    Ease your heart and rest your mind, my

    time with you was the best of kind. I couldn't

    have asked for a better friend, we've shared

    our journey to the very end.

    There's one final thing you need to know, I'll

    whisper in your ear before I go....."I'm leaving

    first to find the way...so I can lead you back here with me on your last day."  -(SLong)

    Disaster Averted: Leash Walking

    and replace leashes/collar/harness when consumed! i have observed people walking at GH events with tattered and torn leashes and collars. One year i was selling the left over stock from a great collar/leash maker at less than wholesale prices- just about giving the goods away. One person bought a new collar, the old one was ready to rip and too small on the dog. when i mentioned a $5 biothane leash- he balked- "that leash is perfect, lots of use to come"- it was chewed in 3 places!

    good equipment is essential!

    if one is worried about the cost of replacement- LUPINE has a lifetime warranty. the 1" martingale is a workhorse! the leashes- eh. i had one clip failure, wrote to the leash maker- it was replaced instantly- K9NOZ- great biothane leashes with a wide variety of clasps and biothane weights.

    I don't get it. I think they just for some reason have took leave of their common sense. I actually learned the concept of equipment being deadly serious from working w/ horses first but its the same thing-just a little more obvious when the animal is 1000 lbs.  People & animals DIE when old won out damaged equipment surprise!-breaks! They don't stop to think that their precious hound could DIE! because they were too cheap to keep decent safe equipment-or too busy to even notice its condition.  I guess all we can do is try to politely point it out to people for the sake of the hounds.

    macoduck you know you are right. I like this verse about it:

    "For love is as strong as death....
    Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it.
    If a man would give for love all the wealth of his house, it would be utterly despised."
    -Song of Solomon 8:6-7
