Because the first time, everything was new to you and you didn't know what would happen. Now you do, but it won't get you down and it won't stop you from being an awesome mama!

I am so very sorry.

I am so very sorry.

I am so very sorry.

Of course we remember. I am so very sorry for your losses.

I am so very sorry.

As my vets over the years have reminded me, greyhounds are dogs. Dogs, to our dismay, get sick and leave us but healthcare for them has gotten SO much better. My absolutely no-nonsense homecare vet in NYC reminded me that as many older dogs are lost to arthritis as to osteo. I didn't want to hear it at the time as my girl had osteo but it is good to know. My last girl in NYC was costly but that is because NYC is costly. When we did a full 8 hours of observation and tests at a vet at Cornell, the cost was less than $500! She had surgery to remove her spleen due to a tumor and that could happen to any breed. She also developed kidney disease but in all honesty, I probably spent more on supplements for her than on her actual medications -- the prescription food was the most expensive item. This is always the forum I check first, to see how all the pups are doing health-wise, and to educate myself. There were a couple of very rough nights in the ER where (a) I was educated about what might be happening and what I needed to ask and how to advocate for her, and ( to know that I was not alone, someone else had gone through it and someone was always here to offer encouragement. Priceless and exceptionally appreciated. Are they worth every single penny, absolutely! It is funny that I currently now have the dog I should have at 90...she doesn't like to walk, too much stimulation out there and is happiest on the chaise lounge in her sunbeam. Oh, well, at 90 I will be the little old lady being pulled down the block by the goofy greyhound. Works for me.

Wonderful update. You will both feel so much better once you've been reunited.

Many prayers.

I use NaturVet Cranberry Relief, 50 Gram that I get on Amazon for $11, I go through about 2 per year. I mix it in with the raspberry powder for anti-oxidants. I sprinkle it on her food. Neither Tallulah nor Aquitaine have had UTIs.

This says it all. Hug and kiss your girl, do in your heart what you feel is the best for her and you will have done your best job.

I am so very sorry.

I am so very sorry.

I am so very sorry but so very happy that you and Percy found each other. He definitely made life richer for his time with you.

I am so very sorry.

I am so very sorry.

I am so very sorry for your sudden, unexplained loss of your Snozzle.

I am so very sorry. Godspeed, Pulsar.

Prayers and good thoughts.

I am so very sorry.

Yay, Aiden!

I am so very sorry. Fly fast and free, Gigi.

I am so very sorry. Godspeed, Uber.

Just seeing this now. Many good thoughts for Grandy. It sounds like you have a good plan in place.

Hugs to Aiden.
