I'm so sorry, Diane...

Oh! Max, we all love you so much and miss you just as much. I hope you're snuggling with your dad and celebrating with your many good friends at the bridge. Love you, Max.

I'm very sorry...

I wasn't expecting to see this. I'm so very, very sorry

I'm so sorry

I also remember when you adopted Zero and I'm so sorry you couldn't have had more time together.

I'm so very sorry. I remember seeing her just last week at Grapehounds. She was absolutely beautiful.

That's good! Just continue to be consistent.

I adopted a dog who was supposed to be both cat and small dog safe. Turned out she was neither. I didn't return her. I worked very hard; I attached her leash to my waist while she was at the other end. I did this whenever I was home. I encouraged her to do something else instead of looking at the cat and her prey drive was so strong that I also had to correct her whenever she looked at her. She was muzzled whenever I wasn't home. It took about a month and a half for her to learn to get along with the cat and they became best friends. She continued to want to eat small fuzzy dogs until she reached about 11 years old.

Looking forward to reading a positive update soon.

This is great! Congratulations to all of you! She is a beauty!

I'm so very sorry

I don't know where you live, but it would be a good idea to check out the OSU Greyhound Health and Wellness Program. They are the experts in osteo and I've heard that sometimes they supply free chemo drugs. Good luck. Osteo really sucks.

I'm so sorry

Please join GT's osteo thread. You will find lots of good info and advice. I think every dog and every situation is different. I also think that by the time our hounds are diagnosed with osteo, they've had it for a long time and the illness is pretty advanced. I let Phoenix go 1.5 weeks post diagnosis and Treasure was let go the same day as she went into respiratory distress while still at the vet's office. Phoenix was let go as soon as I had to increase his pain meds for the first time because I knew that if he was exhibiting pain, it was a lot worse than what I saw. There are others who lived happy lives for quite a while after diagnosis. It depends on the dogs and their people.

Xrays please.

Have you taken JJ to the vet to see if maybe she isn't feeling well? At the by least, always keep them muzzled. If JJ is healthy, you might want to think about rehoming,her. This is serious. I know of at least one situation like this that resulted in the death of the older hound.

Cully, I'm so sorry

I'm sorry you didn't receive better news.

I'm so sorry that you're going through this, especially so soon after Patrick. Seems like he will have a wonderful weekend.

Oh no! I'm so sorry, Pam

I'm so sorry

I could never say it half as eloquently as Jan did here. I'm so very, very sorry for your loss.
