  1. I'm an experienced Happy Tail bandager.  Jeter graduated from New Boy Crate first day with a spectacular happy tail.  He had a lot more fur on his tail than Gelsey does, but his tail was more like a club than Gelsey's whiplike appendage, and was a true helicopter tail.  It took months to nurse Jeter's tail back to health.  With Gelsey, I often can't even find where she broke it open, but I know she did because of the tiny flecks of blood all over the kitchen.  

  2. Gelsey has super-short fur and a long whip of a tail on which she frequently opens up wounds with aerobic wagging.  I'm thinking of painting the kitchen cabinets red so her blood won't show up as much.  

    This morning, in her pre-breakfast celebration, she discovered a new skill.  That tail must have accidentally entered the airspace of a cabinet door handle, and pulled the door open!  She looked a little surprised at first, then quickly sniffed the inside of the cabinet.  Alas, no food.  Bummer.  If I see her studying the dogfood pantry cabinet door, I am in trouble.

    He'd been eating some of Willa's chicken a few minutes earlier, so I'm glad he got some spoiling in his final moments, even if we didn't realize it.

    He left on his own terms, with a belly full of chicken.  :wub:  May your version of the rainbow bridge involve stinky fish and a limitless supply of cat toys.  Godspeed, Richard.

     

    Willa -- you are AWESOME!

     various deli meats, chicken breasts, ground beef, baby food, and coconut water, all of which I'm sure he'll be glad to sample. This is going to be interesting with a second dog around.

    This brought back memories of trying to stuff food into Jeter while surrounded by two drooling hyenas,* who would rush in and snatch the morsel right out of Jeter's mouth unless I beat them back.  I had to shut them up in a bedroom.  

    Sounds like Willa had a refreshing nosh and is now resting and gathering up energy for her next exciting adventure.  Hope her 'rents can get some rest, too.  

     

    * changing hyena metaphor to African painted dogs, which evidently have an 80% hunting success rate

    I'm pretty sure that I smelled Hai Karate wafting from the guest room

    Mark, Mark, Mark -- it's time to update your fragrance signature.  Ixnay on the Hai Karate and Old Spice school -- there's lots of colognes designed for males that will make a modern ladyhound swoon instead of choke and cough.  Some suggestions:

    Cool Water by Davidoff
    Catwalk by Tigi ( includes must-have hair fur products such as curlz rock amplifier)
    Club de Nuit Intense by Armaf and Drakkar Noir by Guy Laroche, both with packaging suitable for a black hound

    Suggestions for some of the other handsome GT fellows:
    Burberry London or Burberry Brit for our English chaps
    and CK One by Calvin Klein for Clark Kent!

    But Mark, we think the best choice for you is Exceptional - Because You Are
