Glad to hear your girl is doing much better. Keep us posted on her progress.

Awesome pictures!

I don't know where he learned it, but Rocket would actually step down off the walk to drop a load on the curb if there was no grass. We did not train for that. If traffic isn't an issue, can you redirect her to the curb?

Good job, Wiki! LaVida does not like that thing either. Mark says it interrupts his all-day nap.

Punkin is designing her next masterpiece based on this idea.

The outside temp got up to about 70 yesterday in the sun, and upper 60's in the shade so I took LaVida's coat off of her. Last night as she was going to bed I held up the coat. She came running and stuck her head through to put it on. She's currently taking her after breakfast nap wearing her coat. She's a happy girl.

Will you be building a tiny garage for the tiny house in time for next winter?

A number of adoption groups hand out medical reference cards or provide them as a fundraiser to greyhound owners to use as a quick reference when talking with their vet. There's a sample of the card on this page. https://www.greyhoundhealthinitiative.org/ri_cards/ There are some members here who are involved with the cards through various groups so they will probably post additional details.

Update: Day 3 We are still having very cold mornings here in the dezzert. North of us in the mountains they got between 2 and 3 feet of snow and we are getting all of the cold air off of that snow. LaVida has not let us take her housecoat off of her. We are going through the other coat we have to see if any of them fit her so we can eventually change her coat. We also found one of Rocket's coats that fits Mark. Mark says we were holding out on him since his idea of bliss is being able to wear his blanket 24/7. We so rarely need any kind of coat here that we had never tried the coats on these two. Mark says you can't see him in his "camelflaj." LaVida Day 3 - still rocking her housecoat and happy!

Day 2 and she hasn't let us take it off of her. I think she's really liking her housecoat. I have to go through the other coats here and see if anyhting else fits her.

Schools are rarely canceled but there is still a solid line of traffic going north on these snow days. The DOT pleads with people to stay off the roads until they can clear them but it doesn't do much good. This particular storm closed many miles of interstate in northern AZ for the past 24 hours. That was Petunia's coat which was sent to her by a good friend here on GT. Petunia refused to wear a coat from the first time we attempted to put it on her. . She was storm phobic but also refused to wear the thunder shirt. The thunder shirt stressed her out even worse than the storm. There are tons of flamingos mixed into that print along with the flowers. Miss Houndtime Irene made the housecoat. LaVida has yet to take it off. She is loving it. It depends, but in this case the morning was in the 40's and the air was that damp, raw kind of cold that goes right through you. After you've been here for a few years your body acclimates to the heat and you will be cold when the temps go much below 70. We see people wearing winter coats when temperatures are in the upper 60's. When we lived in the midwest a 50 degree winter day was a good excuse to wash the salt off the car wearing a T-shirt and no jacket. Here, we will be bundled up at the same temperature.

Should I poo upon a stick? Should I poo real slow or quick? Should I squat down really low? Or should I poo upon the snow?

There's a Dr. Seuss rhyme in here somewhere, but I'm sure those who are better at that than I am will chime in now that the idea has been planted.

A rare coat and blanket day. (Yes, the heat is on too.) They are calling for 2 feet of snow in the mountains to our north so we are getting the cold air and dampness.

I'm going to reply to this to try and bump it up for more visibility. In both cases it sounds like one of them was startled so the reaction is somewhat normal. Hopefully some of the long-time multi-dog households can offer some advice. At a minimum I would probably muzzle both until they work out their territory issues.

Hello from Peoria. Greyhound puppies are called Land Sharks. You have one adorable Land Shark there.

Sorry to see you are dealing with this. I will second the suggestion of Dr. Cuoto above if you think that you need a second opinion. He ran the Greyhound Medical Program at Ohio State for years and will work directly with the vets treating your hound. The first week after an amp can be rough for all, so your pup is in the right place if there are complications. Paws crossed here for your pup. Please keep us updated.

Searching the treat room and the counter tops.

I think Snickers now has a marker that she can call in when needed.

I accused her of paying Snickers to whine from the bedroom...

I have a muffin with my coffee most mornings. LaVida stays close and tries to snag the muffin wrapper if I forget and leave it sitting next to my chair. This morning, Snickers started whining from the bedroom, so I went in to see what was going on. I was gone less than a minute. That's all it took. What I saw when I walked back into the living room. She wouldn't look at me when I was talking to her.

She was apparently stalking me this morning. I couldn't find her after I got up. She had jumped into my nice warm spot on our bed and nestled herself into the covers as soon as I left the room.

Snickers is here hanging out this evening. It's been about 6 months since she has been here as we were pretty full up while Stella was here. Snickers was here for all of about a half hour this evening before we found her in her favorite spot... The guest bed that has a 4 inch thick memory foam topper on it. We never spoil them

Maybe there's something left over from Little Jimmy Dickens. They should all be about the same height.

Maybe you should take them over to one of those shops on Music Row where the Opry folks get their clothes. I can see Doolin in sequins now....
