My dog broke her toe and is in a bandage for 5 to 6 weeks. I am using a Medi-Paw boot which keeps it nice and dry.

I have the Link for Razzy - it is a little bulky but she is petite. The Tracking App is real time but can vary based on your signal with your phone in certain areas, etc. We have had it since it first came out and they have made many improvements to it. https://www.linkakc.com/

I'm sorry you are going through this One thing I will mention is my regular vet was able to do the Pamidronate infusions. Wylie never saw an oncologist. They were new to it and had only done it on one dog before, but they did it for me & Wylie and we had good results. Thank you Neyla's Mom for the Zoledronate name - I couldn't remember it. It was expensive about $600-$700 per treatment, but he had pet insurance which covered most of it. I didn't worry too much about the long term side effects since I knew his time would be limited. It would be worth asking your regular vet if they have ever done it.

Have you looked into Pamidronate or other similar infusions? We did this with my boy Wylie a few years ago and he had 6 good months post-diagnosis. It is essentially a bisphosphonate that may help strengthen the bone and reduce pain (along with pain meds). My vet was very happy with how it helped Wylie's bone around the tumor to calcify.

I'll be there and staying at the Eisenhower. I got a first floor room because Razzy is getting older.

I agree with either the spook harness or the freedom no pull harness. The last thing you want is her for to get loose and bolt into traffic. http://www.majesticcollars.com/harness.htm https://www.2houndsdesign.com/product-category/shop-now/freedom-no-pull-harness/ You can use a single leash clip or double, both will work. And since even harnesses are not always escape-proof, you can also use a coupler to attach the harness and collar together as a back up.

I'll be there at my usual cottage in Dewey with Razzy and I can't wait for VACATION with the dogs

LOVE all the pictures!! I haven't been back to Grapehounds in many years. How hot was it (be honest!)? I am a hot weather hater so I have always been hesitant to go back.

Are you on Facebook? There is a group called Greyhound Sitters Exchange https://www.facebook.com/groups/362259110628359/

I have always used the Freedom No-Pull Harness from 2Hounds Design. If tightened properly I feel like they are more secure than just a martingale. They were originally designed for greyhounds, so they fit them well. https://www.2houndsdesign.com/product-category/shop-now/freedom-no-pull-harness/

Patty, I really like O'Rourke's, and the patio is pet friendly!

Robin I am so very sorry to hear about sweet Iker. I'm glad he had a greyt home with you & Xavi.

I have not read all the responses, but our girl Razzy was having pee accidents in the house, drinking a ton, and ruled out negative for UTI's. This happened several years in a row with no diagnosis. When we looked back through her records, it was always around November when we first turn the heat on. She was drinking more and peeing more whenever the heat was on. We now run a heavy duty humidifier and try to limit her water intake in the winter months.

It definitely could be medical or behavioral, especially with him being so new. However, I just wanted to share my experience with my girl, Razzy. She was drinking a lot and peeing in the house a lot, at certain times of year, even though she is completely housebroken. After testing her several times for medical issues with no diagnosis, we realized over the years it was happening in November, when we usually turn the heat on. Our house was so dry she was drinking a lot more and not able to hold it as long. We have a humidifier now and monitor her water intake. Good luck!

I haven't done it in many years, but I am tempted for nostalgic reasons

I'll be there with Razzy in our usual cottage in Dewey. I can't wait!! Hoping for perfect fall beach weather

Greyhound Rescue of New England is holding one in Uxbridge, MA.

I won't make it this year either and I am bummed. Hope to see many of you in Dewey, and I will try for GiG next year.

A long time ago a dog in my care got the tip of his ear bit off (by my own dog ). The bleeding would not stop and a bandage would not stay on. We went to the e-vet and they had to wrap his whole head But that was the only way to get it to stop. It was not able to be sutured, but I think they did use some type of glue to bond it.

And I promise not to ask too much about Gracie, but I may not be able to help myself lol!

Yes we will! Ha ha - you are my "person you see at every greyhound event every day all day" ha ha ha! Looking forward to it!

I'm so excited for Dewey! We stay at a cottage in Dewey Beach and I'm hoping for at least one day of perfect weather, with no golden retrievers, to just lay on the beach with my girl all day long! winnie, I'm so excited you are coming - you will love it!!

I personally liked years past at Dewey when their were tons of vendors in hotel room and condos. It was so fun and banners were great! One way to get everyone to visit you was "Vendoropoly" which was a map given out with registration and if you visited every vendor on the board, you got entered into a grand prize drawing. Bring back Vendoropoly!!

Just an FYI for anyone planning on attending the Puppy Farm in CT today, the event has changed to the rain date of tomorrow, Sunday June 25th. https://greyhoundadoptionexpo.com/
