Any news? Are you home owners again yet?

Kevin!!! You're HERE!!!! Welcome to GT, and so good to "see" you. You "know" me as "fiwit@yahoo" and I've bought a few prints/t-shirts from you over the years, and shared with you how they reminded me of my bridge kids, etc. Be sure and check out our merchants/vendors area, and "cute & funny." You'll see some great poses there

Oh, Jey... my heart aches for you. She was such a special girl.

NO. ... NOT RILEY.... I'm so sorry, Lucy.

Depending on how the light hits my dogs eyes, they look just like they can in photos with flash. So I'd be less inclined to worry about it, unless you see it all the time, regardless of lighting. But by all means, feel free to ask your vet. My vet loves my "peace of mind" questions.

Did we lose this in the transition to the new software? I don't remember, but I'm not finding it. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?

Can't find her on GH-Data, so can't tell you her birthdate, but she went to the rainbow bridge yesterday, Feb 24, due to Osteo. She came into our group on 1 Oct 2003, riding in the back of a kennel truck from the Birmingham race track. Within a week, she had a new home, and a new name, Daisy. Daisy was just what her mom needed at the time... a faithful, loving companion who would be there no matter what curveballs life threw at her mom. Except for this last curveball... Daisy can't help with that one, at least not from this side of the bridge. She was a beautiful girl, and this is how I'll always remember her, on her way to her foster home the day she came into our group. We said it looked like she could drive herself there. Godspeed, little girl. Run free now to good health. And send your mama a rainbow or two - her heart is breaking. (come to think of it, mine hurts a little, too)

My vet lets me skip the bordatella, becuase the only place my dogs ever go is my house, Dee's house, and the vet. On the years that we're going to Sandy Paws, we get it just in case. But her vet tech told me this morning that they'll need it before their dentals - she sounded like they would give it willy-nilly, the morning of the dental. I told her to check with Doc, because I don't want it and don't think they need it.

Rest in Peace, joyfully greeted by all your bridge angels (and some of ours, too)

Godspeed her, and may God comfort you and all who love her.

She's beautiful... Run free, sweet girl.

I took Zoe in for a nail-trimming today, and the vet tech told me that Doc's sweet girl Maddie (non-grey) had crossed the bridge Tues night. Maddie had the run of the clinic, and was a fixture there for longer than Doc's been my vet. I think last time I was in, Doc said she was maybe 11 or more years old. I'm probably messing up the details, but the general concept is sound. Apparently, she had seizures, and over the weekend they got worse and more frequent. Doc took her to the specialists, and they did what they could, but it was pretty clear that it was time to let her go. There was blood in her lungs, and lesions in various spots that were most likely cancer, and she couldn't breathe/didn't have any energy, etc. Doc & her friends headed over to the specialists to get her, expecting that they would bring her home to Doc's house and help her to the bridge from there. As they left the vet, Doc sat in the back of the vehicle with Maddie, saying all the things we say to our pets at a time like that, and Maddie had apparently just been waiting to be reunited with Doc, because she left for the bridge while she was there in the car, in Doc's arms, surrounded by the love that had filled her life. Godspeed, sweetheart - you were a special girl, and I'm glad I knew you. Send your mama some good memories, and when her heart is ready, talk her into adopting a greyhound. "run to good health" is what Doc says to the pet when she euthanizes him or her. It helps to know that Maddie is pain-free and in perfect health now, but my heart aches for my vet.

He is with you forever.... As hard as it was, I'm so proud of you (and grateful, too) for letting him go before you got home. You know that I know how hard that is, but it's part of the love we give them. Run free, Augie-Dog..... and send your mama some rainbows.

Run free, sweet pups... all 4 of you are pain-free now, gentle hugs to Lisa, and all who knew/loved these poor dogs.

Oh, Great & Powerful HMFIC, I will be happy with whatever gallery images you choose to bestow upon us (but I voted for random)

Looks weird. yep

Seems to work well - thanks!
