Has anyone put down fertilzer lately? Definitely sounds like an allergy.

I reached out to Gold Coast Greyhound Adoption and they were so nice! I now have a name/email and cell number of a person that any of the three of us can contact if/when needed!!

Thanks I will contact them!

I believe she's 9 years old. I give her lots of treats. Sometimes the owner lets me into her house so I can make sure she has fresh water and food. We did get the owner to switch foods (well, the other neighbor is buying it) and that's helping with her poop issues.

I live part of the year in Sarasota, FL. I have an elderly neighbor with a greyhound. The neighbor has health problems and can't walk her dog, so me and another neighbor walk the greyhound, Sophie, twice a day. I walk her in the morning and the other neighbor does the afternoon walk. Sophie is on the thin side and we are not always sure she gets fed regularly. We (the other neighbor and I) do our best with Sophie, but we have to be careful. If we inquire too much, the neighbor gets defensive. We've heard from other neighbors that people have been barred from helping Sophie because they questioned the owner too much. So, we do the best we can for her. At some point, we are hoping the owner will decide that she can't care for Sophie and will give her to me. However, I'm not here for a few months out of the year. I would like to find an adoption group/contact that the other neighbor can notify if something happens to the owner and I'm not here. Suggestions?

It sounds like it's just not the right time in your life for this. I'm glad you care enough about her to return her.

I agree. You're already overwhelmed and afraid. Talk to your group and return her.

He may have slipped and fallen while you weren't there, causing him to be afraid. They have really long legs and can really hurt themselves falling or doing the splits. I don't feel it's babying them to put rugs out, just to keep them safe. Think of it as childproofing.

Oh, how sad. My condolences to all who knew her.

Of course she should sleep in your room, she's family.

Her group is Greyhound Adoption Center. www.houndsavers.org There is someone working on setting something up on their site for donations, for a special project in her honor. I can let you know when that happens, or you could go ahead and donate noting her name, and it will go towards it once it's up and running.

I don't think Stephanie posted much lately, but I wanted her friends who aren't on Facebook to know that she passed away Sunday night. She was mom to greyhounds, Brady, Maddi, Penny, Dexter, Jack and Cooper. She loved her dogs fiercely. She and her husband, Steve, recently had an amazing 12th birthday party for Maddi Steve and all of her friends will miss her terribly.

I agree that it's not your fault in any way. It was probably the owner's handling of the beagle that made the beagle react so violently. All fault lies with the owner of the beagle...all of it!

Wow! And what a smart young man!

Oh Y, I am so very sorry. A wonderful tribute for a wonderful dog.
