I don't know how to post a photo but I have my urns on a book shelf with their collars around it and a photo of them next to the urn.
When I die their ashes will be mixed with mine and buried with me.

I thought Fencetop the cat, best friend of Mary the greyhound had been missed but I see she passed in July, not August.
-
I always loved reading your posts about the two of them. They were so sweet together. I had asked once how Fencetop was coping with the lost of his friend Mary, I can't remember if I ever got an answer. How did he do without Mary?

Thank you so much for directing me to the video
It was wonderful!

I was hoping people would post photos from this years event for all of us who could not attend.

has Carter been tested for hookworms? For the past 5-8 years now hounds have had hookworms that are resistant to the standard deworming meds (i.e. Drontal Plus, Panacur, etc.). Our Rick (adopted last November) has them as does every single hound that I know that have been adopted in the past year or so. Rick gets the squealy stomach and inappetance when they are active
I have had Carter almost 7 years. I doubt it is hookworms. I guess I need to check.

Honest Kitchen makes a dehydrated food that is soft when rehydrated. Good, nutritious food. Worth checking out. You can get a small cup of it to try. Good luck.

Well, I had a good test with Rootsies this morning. Carter had a squeaky tummy this morning and he does not eat when this happens. He wanted his cookie which he took a put it by a bed. Neko promptly ate it. I put some Rootsies on both their breakfast. He came up ,smelled the bowl and started eating. He ate the whole bowl! Then I gave him Neko's cookie which he ate.
Will be curious to see what his next poop looks like, typically they are really soft like pudding.
So far we are loving Rootsies.

We have been big fans of the carrots over the years as several of our hounds have had tummy issues. I'm curious if you tried this new product in response to any particular issue or just to add some variety to feeding time. If used for a tummy issue, how well did it work? Thanks
Carter has always had occasions where he gets the squeaky tummy in the morning and then won't eat breakfast and lunch. Neko rarely eats her kibble in the morning and sometimes doesnt finish her lunch.
I have adjusted the quantity of food given in the morning and afternoon to smaller amounts for those meals and larger amounts for dinner and bedtime.
I think with adding the topper it will make them more likely to eat all of their meals.
With Carter turning 10 July 7th I don't want him to start dropping weight.

Olewo has come out with a new product called Rootsies. It is dehydrated potatoes, carrots and alfalfa. The pellets are larger than the carrots. It is meant to used as a food topper. You can feed it in pellet form or rehydrate.
I just bought my first bag. At first my greyhound Carter picked it out and dropped it on the floor. I thought "oh no, he won't eat it."
He ate the whole bowl of food and wanted more Rootsies. I put a few more pellets in my hand and he gobbled them up. My girl Neko loved them too.
It helps with digestion.
Another great product from Olewo.

They make training treats that are soft and tiny. The brand we usually get is Zune’s minis, but read the package carefully, they also make crunchy treats.
Zukes Mimi treats were just recalled.

I received notice about this from Dog Food Advisor. I contacted Chewy about my unopened bag and they said to throw out and they would credit me. I found another low calorie treat, a crunchy one my hounds love and it is $10 a bag cheaper.

Wow, scary. You never know completely with a new dog. I am sure she will find the right home. I hope your girl heals quickly. Perhaps a male greyhound, one who is a bit shy and laid back would be a better fit.

Some groups will not adopt out a puppy to someone without sight hound or greyhound experience. They are baby landsharks.

I am so sorry you had to say goodbye. Broodies are amazing.

Winnie,

Manuka honey rocks! In 24 hours you will be amazed at the improvement. You have to use REAL manuka honey (~$90/lb) though, not the cheap imposters. Of course it will last for years so it is really not that expensive considering. Manuka honey is the only thing known to kill MRSA as well. https://manukahoneyusa.com/
Which one of the products from here did you buy?

I'll vote for that. I've been to farms from Greymeadow where the Butlers had every luxury known to man to many lease farms in Western Oklahoma that were held together with spit and bailing wire and the dogs were often in not great shape due to monetary limitations. I firmly believe the dogs are still there in Kansas and Western Oklahoma. but the farmers have sort of closed ranks.
i worked with the group that took in all of the Greymeadow hounds from the Butlers. Heard a lot of good things about their farm. My first two greyhounds were Grey's Island Mocha and Greys Pitch Black.

Our group has helped bring in a number of galgos from Spain last year. We also have had some lurchers come into our group. I believe we are still working out the details to bring Irish and English retired racers to the US as well. Things in England and Ireland are pretty bad for the greyhounds. Many end up in other countries with no animal welfare laws. After they are used up they are sent to wild life parks to be killed by cheetahs and other big cats or to the dog meat trade.

One more vote for Olewo carrots. After trying everything and resorting to raw, I gave Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Salmon and Rice with Olewo carrots and hallelujah, decent poops. Still not as firm as raw, and usually one soft one (though not quite diarrhea) on longer walks but more than acceptable.
My only fear it that availability in Canada seems to be through Amazon.ca only and can be intermittent. Anybody have other sources in Canada?
Maybe call or e-mail the distributer in the US and see if they have any suggestions. Hopefully Ina can help you.
