  1. She is certainly surviving on her looks alone!  :rofl  

    She starts digging a hole at the base of a tree.  I fill in the hole and cover it with a big rock.  She goes where the rock was (the ground is wet under it) and digs there.  I cover fill and cover THAT hole.  She digs next to it.  I cover that.  Put a fence around her newest digging area.  She digs up the fence.  SMDH  It is too winter still to create a sandbox for her but I would bet anything she won't touch it.  Oh, and she eats the dirt.  :youcrazy 

    But, my replacement :lol glasses are due to arrive Tuesday!  They used to be in the middle of our dining table with all chairs pushed in.  Still do not know how she got up there.  She is supposed to be handicapped :blink:

    Never a dull moment in our house!  She is a super snuggler though.  Would prefer that she not drape her body across my throat at 2:00 a.m.  Not sure if it is love or a murder attempt.  :rotfl

  2. thanks for the suggestions!  Clearly, we have a training issue and are working our way through them.  I have been told that even for a whippet, she is super high energy and is fast.  Yay me LOL.  She chomps on it when we are getting everyone leashed up to walk.  She chomps on it if we see a neighbor or stop on the side of the road for a vehicle to pass.  If she can, she chomps on her harness.  Heck, she chomps on dumb bells in our house - not neoprene coated either!  On a positive note, her teeth are nice and white haha.  I realize (hope) that this behavior will extinguish over time but my last whippet was still going after his leash at 15.  But in the meantime, I need to get something that isn't missing chunks.  I have Bitter Yuck that will be applied today.  It has been quite a while since I have had such a young pup.  

    Pray for me!  :rotfl  But she is a very welcome distraction from the chaos that has been ruling my life as of late.  

    She looks so innocent though!  Especially if you ignore the fact that she is everywhere that she really should NOT be.  :lol:

  3. We have a 9-month old whippet who gnaws on anything and everything. Her current favorite chew toy is her leash. Before she destroys it, I am looking to replace it with a leash that may be more gnaw-resistant than her current webbed one. She is 26 pounds and we are using a 5/8 wide leash. Bonus points for traffic handle, lobster clasp, and adjustable wrist loop. I realize this is the unicorn of leashes but it doesn’t hurt to ask!  Thanks. 

  4. What a wonderful life Buddy had with you and you with him.  That knowledge doesn't make the pain any easier at this moment but hopefully in time.  I am deeply sorry that it was his time.  I enjoyed reading about him and seeing his photographs.  Wishing you and your husband peace and comfort.  

  5. We have the opposite problem.  Fecals are always negative, but Zeke is symptomatic of hooks, so we just treat and treat and treat.  I would be tempted to try Profender but there is no "proof" that he is treatment resistant.  It is so frustrating.  He had them when we adopted him in May 2020, got them cleared up and he was PERFECT until around September 2021, when the sh!t hit the fan and it has been a battle ever since.  We gave him a medication break for a few months and are back at it again, with plans to reconvene with the vet this summer.  My poor boy.  It cannot be fun for him.  

  6. I donated a bunch of stuff - collars, coats, etc. to Senior Sighthound Sanctuary.  There will be several groups at GIG accepting donations, iirc, and maybe someone up your way will be coming down?  Otherwise, I know if would be super expensive to mail but I could always make sure it gets where you want it to go.  Just a thought.  

  7. We will only be there on Friday as my mom's Celebration of Life gathering is on Saturday.  Hoping to see everyone!  It should be quieter for us since it is only the boys this year.  However, if a roo session starts on Friday, the odds are that Zeke started it.  That boy just LOVES choir practice!  

  8. Your vet is having you do IM injections?  We have also found that subQ have worked well and is less painful for the dogs.  Once we did the loading series, the injections are continued on a maintenance basis.  That schedule depended on the dog.  Fancy went from once a month, to every two weeks, and was on a weekly dose at the end.  Our cat, Milo, gets a weekly injection.  

    I hope it helps for him.  I have had success more often than not, but it hasn't worked for all.
