I am very sorry Judy How you will be missed Saint, godspeed sweet boy

There is a greyhound savy vet in Beltsville, Dr. Prowell is wonderful! Their prices are very very reasonable. 4246 Powder Mill Rd Beltsville, MD 20705 (301) 937-3020

Mo, he was certainly one of a kind. How Bailey depended on him, he helped her so very much feel more confident. The best thing I loved seeing is you telling him "show me your turkey belly" and low and behold he would roll over and put all 4 legs up and display that belly for some good ole rubbin. I know all of you will miss him terribly. He had a great life with you and is now reunited with his sweet little girl Bailey. We will miss you Mr. Murph...

I am so sorry Godspeed sweet baby! Sending hugs and prayers your way Melissa and family

Judy I know there arent' enough words, but please know that I am so very sorry Gee had to leave you. She was in the best home possible and you know it! What a beautiful girl and so spoiled and loved. You and the family are in my thoughts and prayers. Rest well sweet Gee, you will be missed by so many

Xan I am so very sorry Wabi was one of a kind and so adored here on GT, thank you for sharing her with us. I know your heart is shattered and in time things will get easier. Take all the time you need to heal, I know all to well that we never really get over them leaving us but we do go on. Rest well sweet Wabi, how you will be missed Hugs, Karen

OMG! I am so sorry I am just seeing this. My heart goes out to you Robbie. Dam! How you adored sweet Frank, even after all the sadness several years ago, you stuck by him and worked it out. Rest well sweet Frank, you were loved more than you can imagine. You are now whole and healthy to run like the wind! Robbie sending you hugs!

Xan I will be praying so very hard for sweet Wabi. We all adore her here. I will also say prayers for you my friend. Stay strong. Hugs!

Ok, I briefly skimmed through your post. I will share my experience with our female greyhound. We had no idea she had space/food aggression issues. Now mind you it tooks us several times to finally get, and I mean get it! The last incident I was loving on her while she was laying down, well she bit me and I actually thought she ripped my face open and tore my ear off. Was it her fault NO! it was mine. I didn't respect her space and paid a heavy price to finally GET IT! Luckily I ended up ok, thank goodness I know the doctors at my work and convinced them to not report the bite. After that situation I implemented NILIF and it worked! All privelages were taken away, no furniture, bed privelages and she had to work for treats and feedings (i.e. would have her sit or lay down before getting food), also would have call her over to me/us for lovins. Stopped hanging on her neck when giving lovins. When she was on her dog bed we left her alone. Even is she would come up to us on her own for lovins we ignored her (not to be mean) but to establish that we were the leaders and not her. Thank goodness, it didn't take long for her to get it and things worked out just fine. We were blessed to have her with us for 8 years, we had to let her go last year at the age of 12. Things can work out, you just have to take your time and establish leadership. You can not punish the dog for feeling threatened and feeling like they need to protect themselves. I know others will offer great advice as well. Good Luck!

Caroline, I am sorry to read of True's passing. I know how you loved her. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God speed True

Welcome home Jilly Bean, don't scare us like that sweety and your poor mommy and daddy, yikes they were beside themselves worrying. Sending healing prayers for all the hounds Judy.

you got it Judy, sorry I am just now seeing this. I am praying very hard for a speeding recovery.

what a wonderful tribute to such a special special boy. I was so happy to finally meet him. remember when you were driving from florida to new york you made a stop on the way just so I could meet you and him and love in him. Then to see him again in Dewey. He was an icon here on GT (the unoffical GT hound for quite sometime ) I know you miss him, as we all do, but, you are right he did live a fantastic live full of love and adventure and of course tons of spoiling. Hugs!

I'm sorry

Oh no Rachel I am so very sorry. Godspeed Diesel. Hugs to you and your dh.

I am sorry Gil... Rest well sweet Dimples.

how very sad... what a wonderful couple.

Heather and Ken you are such wonderful greyhound parents. You did right by Bucky. I have no doubt how wonderful and full his life was in the short amount of time he was with you. Thank you for helping him and loving him so. I'm sorry for your loss. Bucky run fast and free with the wind sweet boy.

OMG!! Tom and Trish I am so very sorry. I can't believe it, he was so dam young. Hugs to both of you and you are right Lincoln is running around like crazy with Zeus and I'm sure Annie is bossing him around. Guy and I are so very sorry for you loss. Hugs

Wow! 6 years already, doesn't seem like it. She was certainly a silly girl and the burpdog smile/anticts were priceless (I still can't believe I deleted that picture). I know you miss her terribly. You are right about one thing, she is having a ball at the bridge. Hugs!

BJ I am so very sorry for all your loses, what a hell of a rollercoaster you have been on. You will make it through, one day at a time. You know you have to grieve, scream, cry whatever at the time is needed to make it. DH and I still haven't gotten over loosing Lily (sure we never will), but it has gotten better. Now Marx is having problems and that's opening up all the rawness of loosing Lily. You are right that we are so blessed to have the opportunity to share our lives with these special greys. They are live savers in so many ways. Major will continue to watch over you. You did right by him and listened/payed attention to the signs he was giving and gave him the best gift of all. He is pain free, 100% whole again. Hang in there and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

OMG, Say it isn't so...... I'm sorry I am just now seeing this. I'm so sorry for your loss Jonathan. Rest well and run fast at the bridge handsome Kent

sending prayers your way Lucy. Poor little guy, feel better swetty
