We have a large pack of greyhounds and a lot of other newly arrived greyhounds coming through our place on a regular basis. I routinely worm all my dogs but every foster gets the full NG treatment along with human grade DE for one full month. I have never found the DE to create any problems in the GI tract and have pretty good success in getting rid of worms up here.

Mazy
in Remembrance
I am so sorry for your loss. Mazy, like so many others, found sanctuary with you - a place where she could be Mazy and become the dog she was meant to be. Our thoughts are with you.

What a beautiful remembrance of your handsome boy, Margo.
How fortunate Django was to find his forever home with you and to have so many greyt years of retirement with you. Always knowing he was loved and cherished - retirement just couldn't be any better.
I am so sorry that he had to leave you so soon. We will watch for his star tonight and the Magoo croo will roo to send him on his way.
Run free Django, with no more pain.

Poco Zinny
October 20, 2001 - December 25, 2014
Life is full of moments – moments you look back on and realize that your life changed drastically and irrevocably. Little did I know just how much life would change in that moment when we met Zinny. We knew we were excited to be adopting our first greyhound but in that moment 10 years and 9 months ago when Zinny walked up to our front door, we had no idea the wild ride we were embarking on.
It all happened by chance. After being turned down by one group, I was approved by another. Now just to wait until a cat friendly grey was available. That greyhound turned out to be Poco Zinny, 2 years and 4 months, a bounce that had already lived with cats. She was perfect from the beginning, sweet, loving and always just a little spinny. But when we brought in our second greyhound, she blossomed into the happiest most content girl. Zinny was a different girl every day. One day playful and ready to dance, the next aloof. She was a total mimic, taking on for short periods the characteristics of each new greyhound that came into our home. She watched as our family grew, and mourned with us as so many journeyed to the bridge.
But it was what she brought into our lives that was magical. The week after she arrived we attended our first meet and greet and never looked back. We hosted meet and greets, started to foster, offered to transport. We had found our passion – a desire to help every hound into a home. That is what Zinny inspired in us and the legacy she leaves us with – to do whatever is needed to help find homes for hounds.
We had so much time together that I somehow thought she would be with us forever. But for some reason, unexpectedly and suddenly, God decided that Zinny would be a Christmas Angel and last night we helped her on her journey to the bridge.
Zinny, my spinny brindle tiger, no hound could be more loved. I’ll hold you in my heart forever, I can’t believe you are gone. I will cherish each memory and as the tears recede I know the smiles will returned as I remember all the special moments with you. Run free, my beautiful girl, find all our angels and know we will love you forever.

Welcome Captain Jack! What a greyt Christmas present for you - your very own forever home.

My heart goes out to you. I am so very sorry it was time for him to leave you.
Run free Penske

I am so very sorry that Brady could not stay with you longer Cindy, however I will always be greytful that you opened your heart and your home to him when he needed it the most. He had the time of his life during the time he spent with you and could not have been more loved and cherished.
Rest peacefully, sweet man.

Its taken me awhile to come in here - my own form of denial. I loved George so much, Susan. Even though I never got to meet him in the "real", George was one of the hounds that enticed me into the WFUBCC. With his witty posts, and his oh so unique view of our world, I was entranced. And as a result, I made some of the very best friends in the whole whirled.
George, I promise, I am going to find something very special for the remembory garden - something just as unique as you are. Rest peacefully sweet sweet boy, knowing you will be in my heart, and the hearts of so many others, forever.

Greyt advice here Carol. I have been through making the decision so many times, and yet it has been different with each one.
to you and know we are always thinking of you and Magic. -
Billy
in Remembrance
Lonsome Billy
October 2004 - May 2014
Billy, it was never easy but it was worth every second.
I saw Billy when I was following the dogs rescued from Guam. Something about him called out to me, and we made arrangements to bring him home to Canada.
He was the hardest one to integrate into our pack. I wasn't home when he arrived, but John told me he was settling in well - he didn't even need a crate! When I got home two days later, every curtain in the house had been thoroughly marked - into a crate he went. He wouldn't listen - not to anything we said - just a wild child. A GT friend suggested that maybe he didn't KNOW English words. So one word at a time, he learned and each day was a little better. But there were also the fights. Billy would never start them, but he would never back down and Sam made more than a couple of trips to get stitches before they decided who was who in the pack. And finally as he settled we got to see how wonderful Billy was.
Fun loving, always up for a challenge, he was a boy with a zest for life. He loved people - any age, any size - everyone was put on the earth just to be his best friend. He charmed everyone he met. And how he loved to run.
Billy our running fool - he ran in the heat, in the snow. Neither his dropped muscle or a permanently dislocated toe stopped him.
Until today . . .
We have struggled over the last few months with strange episodic bleeding. No diagnosis despite a battery of tests. Courses of prednisone, antibiotics and pain medications. But life was not getting better and there was little hope it would. So today we helped him on his journey, cradled in my arms.
Run free Billy Bonkers. I love you and will miss you forever.

Jan, I am so sorry that Seamie had to leave you. I know the emptiness you are feeling right now all too well.
Seamie was loved by so many - even those of us who never had a chance to meet him in the "real". He was a gentle hound, and so sweet and ever so brave. I hope you don't mind me sharing this picture of just how special and brave Seamie was.
Run fast and free Seamie, knowing that you will always be in our hearts.

Sacha, I remember Egon so well and am so very sorry that it was time for him to leave you. What a remarkable long time you had together. May the memories built up over all those years help you with the grief you feel today.
Run free Egon.

Marc, I am so sorry. Beautiful Cleo captured all of our hearts from the very first picture you shared. I was so thrilled to see you fail fostering and I know that the very best time of Cleo's life was the time she spent with you. As the garden emerges from its winter sleep, I will plant a special flower for Cleo, close to her sisters who were waiting at the bridge for her.
Cleo, run free, knowing you will always be remembered.

I feed raw and just mix the teaspoon into the raw food. Should be fine mixed in with the yogurt or pumpkin.
