I'm so very, very sorry.

I'm so sorry to read this sad update. He was a beautiful boy.

I'm so sorry, Nancy and Doug. Way too much loss in such a short period of time.

What a sad story. TBDs are so strange. I usually recommend that people have their dogs checked for them if they are showing strange symptoms, or symptoms that don't make sense. Bridge angel Phoenix was getting very tired during walks, to the point where he could barely make it across the street without resting. I took him to my vet, who had no idea what could be going. I remembered hearing about a vet 40 minutes away that a local adoption group used to test for TBDs. I took Phoenix in for testing, and sure enough, he has babesia. I called my vet, who made some comment about stupid American dogs (I live in Canada) bringing their diseases across the border. Needless to say, I changed vets and he was treated with imidocard, which had to be imported from the United States. It is a very painful shot that can have nasty side effects. Treatment began after the vet saw the nasty critters in a telescope. My point is that lots of vets, especially in Canada, may not be aware of some tick diseases. Babesia is caused by the brown tick, which doesn't even live in Canada. Be vigilant for your dog.

I love the webmaster. My vet was impressed with how anatomically appropriate it is for greyhounds.

Such a lovely poem. I'm so very sorry

Thanks for the chart. It's printed and on my fridge.

I just saw this, Anne. You are all in my thoughts.

I'm so very sorry

Congratulations! She is very petty.

I'm very sad to read of Mac's passing. I'm so very sorry.

How sad

Thank you!

I remember June. This is so sad

Oh no! I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry. She was very beautiful.

Relax and take your time . Nice looking guy!

I'm so very sorry, Chris

I'm so sorry, Nancy and Doug. Such a sweet and beautiful girl will be missed by so many

I don't think that used be overstimulation. Just take it slow with her and do everything that you mentioned above and add lots of exercise. And relax Dogs can feel tension and I know from experience that it never helps.

I live in Kitchener and I know of a great trainer on King St., near Freeport Hospital. Her name is Jess at Impressive Canines. http://www.impressivecanines.com/ Also' it's not unusual for dogs to get overstimulated in playgroups, so I wouldn't be surprised if that had something to do with it. Please call Jess. She will work with you at your home or wherever you need her to be.

I'm so sorry, Nancy. You know Tessa best and will always do what's best for her, even if it hurts the humans in her life
