  1. Possibly she means that they have no access to water IN THEIR CRATES at the track???? I know a lot of dogs in our adoption kennel head straight to the water buckets when they are let out of their crates.
  2. I actually met Charles on his way to you for his home visit! Matt and Denise had to bring me some stuff for a meet ne greet on Sunday and they had him with them when we met!!! He looks like a sweetie pie! Welcome to the "cult"! We at GPA Ma will give you all the help we can. Halise
  3. I use Bactine to stop mine from licking wounds. Not on the wound, but all around it. Spray it on a tissue and dab around the sore. It makes their tongue numb and they do NOT like that! Vet said it was OK.
  4. When we would take our greys on vacation, my little blue girl would NOT eat. One night we went out for dinner with friends and my friend sent her sweet potato with us to see if Berry would eat that. Well, put it this way, from that point on, every time we went on vacation we had to bring sweet potatoes, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon (because heaven forbid she got PLAIN sweet potato!) with us to microwave and put in her food! She would just dive into it. Just a thought on what worked for us.
  5. We used to call that the Kerry Scoop after a friend of ours!!!
  6. A tiny hijack, a suggestion for picking up yucky poops - try to slide a sturdy paper plate under their butt as they start to poop. The just put the whole thing in a plastic grocery bag.
  7. Thirteen chocolate cupcakes, not frosted. After the vet stopped laughing, he said it should be fine. He did ask if they were in those foil cups, but I had run out of them so they were just in the paper ones.
  8. We've used Actiflex 4000 liquid. It's also a horse supplement. We give a teaspoon on their food every meal. Need to keep it in the fridge. It was amazing the difference on my gimpy boy Durango a few years ago. He went from strolling around the backyard to trotting!!! There is a canine version, but it is a lot more expensive and is basically the same thing.
  9. Years ago I had a grey named JJ. He was the perfect boy, never once peed in the house until one day he just stood in the hall and peed a river. Took him to the vet. Major crystals in his bladder. Got drugs. Finished the drugs, Checked him again and no crystals until about three months later. Same thing, peed in the house. Back to the vet. More meds. Vet said if it kept happening he would need special (read EXPENSIVE) food. Jokingly asked the vet if cranberry juice would help. He thought about it and then said, sure, you can try it if he'll drink it. So we put about a 1/4 cup of cranberry juice on his kibble. The first few days he just looked at us like what are you giving me?? But after a while, if we ran out or forgot to put it on his food, he'd bark at us! Sooooo, long story short - never had a problem again. He got either juice or a cranberry capsule every time he ate. Might want to try the capsules. One warning, if the powder gets out of the capsule, it STAINS!!! Halise
  10. Mine has been on Interceptor since June 2016 and has had numerous rounds of panacur and still he has those miserable hooks.
  11. Bribery, treat treat treat at every step! A really good, preferably stinky never get it any other time treat Halise

  14. E-hem And we're supposed to just "imagine" what you look like?? We do have rules you know
  15. A friend of mine had one for her boy. She is on GT as DofSweetPotatos He did well with it
  16. That seems to be everyone's reaction to him!! Right now he is "vacationing" at the GPA MA kennel because next weekend we are having a HUGE Celebration of Life barbeque for my late wife and I am running around like a madwoman. I'll be picking him up and bringing him home right after that. I can't wait!! We decided to call him Clark Kent!!
  17. He is a handsome brindle boy. Race name DC Man of Steal. Kennel called him Steeler. He is actually a little darker than this picture, this one is a few months old and he still had his farm coat. Halise
  18. Writers Block is actually in Rhode Island. Her new owner and I were picking her and my new boy Steeler up from that same haul in Massachusetts l! Halise (who is eternally greytful that you could take care of our babies and their chauffeurs while the generator was being fixed)
