We are there every day! The joys of living outside of Gettysburg, lol. Fingers crossed we have nice weather.

I am deeply sorry. Taylor captured the hearts of all of us. Wishing you peace.

My whippet got pancreatitis (lamb is very fatty) but continued on raw and never had another bout. I never feed lamb any more either for anyone. All my seniors have embraced the raw diet, too. I feed my current one a ground mix for breakfast and whatever they are having for dinner - that works well. My last senior didn't have any teeth so I ground all his food. He did well, too. Good luck!

I am so sorry. I have lost two suddenly, but not to hemangiosarcoma, and the silence from their passing has been deafening. My office manager has lost two goldens to this disease. The first one passed while everyone was gone - he had been slowing down but they contributed it to being older. The second one they found out earlier, did the surgery and everything they could do but they still lost him. That disease is very sneaky and it is my understanding that it isn't curable really. Your baby knew she was loved and cherished - something we all ultimately wish we had. Wishing you peace.

We briefly spotted a double rainbow over the weekend - that obviously belonged to you. I am so sorry for your loss. What a cutie.

Great timing! I pulled multiple ticks off the dogs yesterday and today. It's February and I am already done. Our new vet recommends Nexguard or Vectra 3D, with a slight preference for Vectra 3D. Thoughts? We do have cats, too. We live outside of Gettysburg, Tick Capitol of the World.

Paris was the most successful racer of my current three, is the youngest (3.5 years) and the slowest. The almost 12 YO with corns walks faster! I am constantly getting her to move along. I found that a shorter leash keeps her moving. I have a built-in traffic lead on the leash and will use that. However, I try not to make the entire walk a chore for either of us. She can be hard to motivate at the best of times and I don't want to make that worse.

I cannot give advice about the food amount since I raw feed. That being said, I have always kept my dogs at or about race weight and they have done fine. Over time, the muscle disappears and they look to be more filled out. But those black boys - hubba hubba! Good luck with what you decide.

My 7 year old loves her 2-5 mile jogs three times a week, followed by a 1-2 mile walk so the 3 year old gets some outside time in the morning, too. Then, we take another 1-2 mile walk every evening. The 3 year old is the laziest dog I have ever owned. My 13 year old grey wanted to walk more! The 3 year old was a successful racer, but pulled her tricep in July and got petted out. She is fully healed, but has embraced retirement with a passion. She, too, will speed up when she realizes we are on the homeward portion of the walk. However, she spends HOURS running around the house, dragging her squeaky stuffies around and squeaking them half to death. She prefers the snakes and caterpillers and loofahs. With those, she is relentless. The 7 year old has zero interest in toys, except as an occasional pillow.

If you could add Pete, I would appreciate it. He was on this forum several years ago and passed yesterday. Thanks.

I have had 7 greyhounds thus far. On the average, they haven't been very costly. I have had cats who cost more. I also got several of them as seniors and that costs more simply due to age. I lost Dante one week shy of 12 due to a broken leg (bone cancer). He had NO symptoms prior to coming home to a broken leg dog. Zoe arrested after a dental at 11.25 years. She had horrific teeth no matter what I did. Brady died at 13 - his body gave out. I got him at 11 and he was a hot mess when he arrived. Goose developed a nerve sheath tumor at 9.75 and we couldn't manage his pain. Maverick broke his leg while running in the yard with Fancy. Again, no symptoms prior to the break. At least I was there when it happened. Fancy is 7 going on 3 and Paris is 3. I feed raw and Fancy jogs 2-5 miles 3 times a week. Paris is the laziest dog I have ever had the privilege of catering. She was a winner on the track, injured her tricep and has wholly embraced the couch, lol.

Did he do this before his accident and amp? If not, I wonder if there is a connection. Poor guy - sounds like he has had a rough go of things.

Oh, Ducky, I am so very sorry. Percy was one of a kind and will be sorely missed. Run free, cutie.

I am so very sorry. I lost a greyhound after a dental the same way while coming out of anesthesia. It totally rips your heart out of your chest. Many, many hugs.

Welcome aboard! I was the one who was happily owned by Goose until this spring. I hope your Goose gives you as much happiness as mine. Lordy, I miss that boy. His brother was Maverick (yes, a theme, lol) and they were littermates. I suddenly lost him this summer, too. Apparently, Goose needed his wingman more than I did. Cindy

My daughter's lurcher had a toe removed. Recovery took a little time, but now you would never know (except his foot looks kind of odd, lol). He is back to jogging several miles a day and is a happy happy boy without that pesky toe! Hope he is feeling better.

Please add Tovah to the list. They are never with us long enough.

I totally understand. I suddenly lost Maverick 3 days after his birthday. His GOTCHA Day is Monday and it broke my heart to see that highlighted on the calendar. Wishing you peace. I wish me peace, too!

I actually start mine on ActiFlex (recommended by a greyhound vet) and fish oil when I bring them home. Lost them to all kinds of things, but never had arthritic issues.

thanks for the information. I will get back to you once we bring her home.

OK, I will play. How about TMD Shining Star? I understand she had a shoulder injury in July but Greyhound Data only shows her racing until June. Thanks! I don't have her tats. She was born in March 2013 but greyhound data lists it as Feb 2013. Mystery girl!

What a beautiful girl. I am so sorry. I lost one that quickly, too, and it is heart wrenching. Many hugs.

I just lost Maverick to bone cancer. Many hugs.

My sympathies.

I am so sorry. I feel your pain.
