  1. Oh, Buddy. So beautiful, so smart, so much his own dog. And he loved you so much. But he did it his way. Be good to yourselves, in his honor.
  2. Yes, yes it is. And I think this is the best that a formal (as distinguished from a spontaneous, solitary) religious experience can do for us -- to have someone else's words or music cut through the snarls of our own everyday life to reach the living joy of connection inside each one of us.
  3. Way to go, Budsterino! Keep 'em guessing. And enjoy that delicious dogfood! Please give him an extra special hug from us.
  4. Dear Jeter had sleep aggression. I did not allow him on my bed. I did allow him up on the sofa with me for a few hours, especially in the mornings, because he was not in deep sleep then. I never touched him while he was sleeping, at any time. I had him get down before he went into deep sleep. He was the most affectionate dog ever when not startled when asleep. But when that happened, he went into full Cujo mode. Not advancing on me, but ferocious growling with teeth bared. And he didn't apologize once he was awake, either. I would have been afraid to have him on my bed.
  5. FiveRoooooers' Cletus would give Buddy a chicken-chaser's high five four
  6. If you're interested in a sighthound specialist consultant, I think all of us here who have used him would enthusiastically recommend Dr Couto. He works via e-mail and shared computer files. He responds quickly. He's primarily a veterinary oncologist and hematologist, but also consults on other diseases. If it weren't for Dr Cuoto, Milo would have been dead now instead of enjoying walks, meals, and snuggling. My vet appreciated working with Dr Couto. https://www.coutovetconsultants.com/
  7. Buddy is always a good boy. Chicken -- when I've had dogs who were being picky, they seemed to prefer chicken and fish over beef. Cleptogrey has posted about buying a whole chicken and cooking it in one pot until it disintegrates into mush, bones and all. And somebody else posted recently (can't remember who) about buying an already cooked chicken; that way having something instantly ready. Both timesavers, in different ways. And that's one thing we don't talk about much -- besides the stress, how much more time it takes to fix something only to have the dog refuse it, and you have to try again with something different. Hard to do if you have a job that's outside the house.
  8. MP -- Africa -- how exciting! Where in Africa? Will you be stopping off at GRTB on the way home?
  9. Seems like you've gotten more into him the past day than previously. Rave on, Mr Buddy Holly Molly! Milo (16% coonhound) gives 2 paws up to channeling Buddy's inner coonhound
  10. Get it, girl -- get it! And keep it away from that Doolin.
  11. Most of us have been there, unfortunately. We all know what lengths we'll go to to try to get a dog to eat. Sometimes, heating up food a little seems to help -- maybe because it enhances the smell. But that doesn't address the cause. At the vet visit, my suggestion is to have Buddy get what we call here a Complete Blood Count (?), anyway, it's referred to as a CBC. You'll have to wait a bit for the results, but it will probably provide clues that the regular, quicker, and cheaper blood test just doesn't cover. I agree with you -- it doesn't sound like teeth are the main problem, even if the vet finds they need cleaning or more. Hugs to the Budster and his worried family.
  12. Grass -- it's a snack AND a pillow. Two paws up, Ms AnnIE
  13. Looking forward to Gracie stories as she begins to blossom again in her new home. Gotta love the spots! And that pic of her looking up from the slumber ball.
  14. Kate Good thing she didn't live here. Once it became clear that she just wanted someone to watch her play in the middle of the night, all she would have gotten would have been some salty talk. Mistress, that picture of Wiki is so wonderful. You need to share it at your next Wednesday meeting.
