I'm so, so sorry. What a sweet, loving, handsome boy.

All of us who never met her, never got to pet her soft fur and silky ears, feel that we know her from how her personality shone through in your stories. The jumping pictures are a study in joy. Run with the wind, Bee Wiseman.

My dear Scout had SLO. People tend to use the names interchangeably, but they are NOT the same, although they are both auto-immune diseases. SLO is the right name for what you suspect. Greyhounds are one of the breeds that seem to be more prone to it. Scout's nails were never cured, but we slowly got them under control with an initial bout of tetracycline/supplements, followed by the supplement protocol listed above. His last couple of years he only lost one nail a year, and it only appeared painful for 3-4 days. My memory is dimmed with time, but I don't think we ever had to use prednisone. The affected nails always stayed gnarly. At first they were soft when I cut them. As he got better, they hardened up but were often hollow inside. He hated having his nails cut, but they grew very fast. As for "giving" your dog SLO with food changes; don't beat yourself up about it. ** happens. Best of luck to all the nail dogs out there.

Wow -- that is some splint. Poor handsome boy.

More and more Come on, Dorie girl!

No experience here, but keeping all paws crossed here for Mr. B.

Sending wishes for sweet dreams for all. And Cash -- show a little emotional flexibility, girl!

I'm so sorry. Enjoy your Meet and Greets at the bridge, dear Pistol.

Oh, your beautiful Miss Ivy girl. I'm glad her passing was peaceful for her. And sending sympathy to your broken hearts.

The worst of all worlds -- the long, undiagnosed battle, and the sudden end. Sending all our sympathy on the loss of your beautiful brindle girl.

What a terrible, awful shock. I'm so, so sorry. Shine on, beautiful Piaget.

I'm so sorry about your beautiful boy. I'm sure his heart was full of the love and happiness he shared with you.

Pretty good days are good things!

Sending hugs to Lazer. Congreytulations on your walk!

I hope that Gracie is gracious about taking it easy. If you're not already aware, watch for any signs of problems with the Rimadyl -- the vast majority of dogs don't have any, but they can be extremely serious for the unfortunate minority. It caused bloody stools in one of my dogs, for instance. Wishing her a happy recovery.

Keep on keeping on, Miss Dorie G. And continued good thoughts for Dude and the rest of the pirate crew.

HOME!!!!!!!!!!!

Sending and more

How wonderful for Freya to have such a loving family and so much joy her last months. The best gift you could have given her. I'm so sorry for your loss. My first greyhound died shortly after my father's death.

I'm sorry. This is the time for grief and crying. Calmer, happier days will come in their own time.

Run with the wind, and know that you are loved.

It sounds like Gracie is coming along wonderfully. Welcome!

Sending sympathy on the loss of your Trinkett. I've never had a shy or spooky dog, but I love having two at a time. Watching the different personalities and interactions makes everything more fun. Even when they're not closely bonded, I think they really enjoy having another dog around. The only "one-at-a-time" problem I've experienced is when I've been working obedience with them and have to shut one of them away at a time. But that was only for 10-15 minutes per dog.

Get well soon, Bubbasparks Joey
