Liz!! Oh no, I can't believe it! This year has been too, too much for you guys... I am just so sorry. :f_pink :f_pink

I just can't believe this...I am so, so sorry, for your sudden loss of the wonderful, glorious Dee. She filled your lives with so much joy, so much love, so much joie de vivre, the void she has left behind must seem unnavigatable. But I do hope (and really, believe) that the memories of her life, the woefully inadequate 9 months and 17 days that were filled with so very much of - well, just Dee-ness - bring you comfort. They enriched all of our lives here on GT so very much, her short time with you must be a lifetime of stories and smiles for all of you. Run free, when and how you want, and always towards that garbage can, sweet Dee... :f_pink

Fingers and paws crossed, and white light coming your way...

I am so sorry for the sudden loss of your handsome boy...8 years, far too young...

My condolences...it is always too soon.

My heart sank when I saw the name "Emmy", a name that should not yet be in Remembrance. I am just so, so sorry... :f_pink

I'm so sorry Connor is having trouble again. Definately bring up Chiro/acupuncture. Even while he is on the metacam (and keeping him on it for the rest of his life is an option, medically wise), he could get chiro/acupuncture treatments and they may even help him get of the metacam or maybe get to a lower maintenance dose. Chiro can help amazingly, and someone who knows what there doing can work with the other courses of treatment...If your vet does not know any vets who do chiro, don't be afraid to call human chiros - some will work on and have training in animals as well. Good luck, it can be a tough journey trying to figure out what is wrong with our babies...

Oh my gawd!! That must have felt so uncomfortable for the poor, sweet girl. She must feel tons better!! Here are some "glad that is out of you and hope you feel better" hugs and treats! :dogcookie :grouphug Just out of curiosity, do they feel there was a correlation between the enlarged spleen and the bloat? I can't imagine that two rather unusual and significant events are unrelated...

Awww, poor sweet girl. Max sends his sympathies, as he will be having the same thing done in a year or so. He is down to 13 teeth, in spite of having annual dentals and daily brushing, so the vet and I figure that they might as well come out, and not put him through any more anaesthetics (he is 10 and 1/2). I'm sure she is going to do just fine - give her some nice frozen yogourt from us...

YAY!YAY!YAY!YAY! Bailey!!! Such awesome, awesome news...now she just has to heal up and get back to her old happy self! :banana :banana :banana

I hope the steroids give him some relief, poor sweet boy...

Janet, I'm just so sorry. What else can I say - her legacy is unquestionable, the wonderfulness of her life a fact. If only they could all just stay with us forever... :f_pink :grouphug Keep an eye on your mom, Miz Foxy. She will make you proud...

I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious doll-baby...she had such a great life, loved and cherised as a family member. Please accept my condolences

Holy Moley, Eva - I just saw this!!! Thank doG everything is turning out okay, what a strong girlie she is! We will keep all of you in our thoughts, and fingers crossed for an uneventful homecoming tomorrow!

White light and healing thoughts being sent...you are so brave.

Awww, Janet- I'm just so sorry to hear this. You and Miz Foxy have been such a great team in the fight against cancer, and advocates for greyhound adoption - you and she were just meant to be, You are so lucky to have found each other. I'll be thinking of you as you as you face this final stretch of your journey together. Hugs to both of you...

My condolences to you and your family, Beth, on sweet Chorney's passing... :f_pink

Awww, Beth - I am so sorry. Such a lovely lady. I know today was a treasure and a heartbreak at the same time. Hugs to all of you, and a special kiss between those gorgeous ears for Chorney...

I am so sorry for your loss of such a dignified beauty, truly a Princess.

Oh I'm so sorry to hear this about Bazooka! He will be missed... :f_red

I was just thinking about Connor the other day, hoping he was better... I know you've tried and looked at a ton of stuff, but it really sounds to me like he has some neck/back problems. The straining from the IBD could have strained or pulled something, that still flares up. Has he been to a chiropractor or acupuncture? Max has problems with his neck, and as it gets bad, his jaw tightens up so much that when he yawns it locks, and he cries and cries until it relaxes. Once it gets to this point, the vet does an adjustment, and he is fine. It might be worth a look...good luck

I'm so happy that Jerry spent his final days and years with you. He save the best for last... :f_red Rest in peace, sweet boy.

Pretty, pretty girl. Hope Dexter is getting better! Welcome to all of you, from Waterloo!

Three years...my goodness, it can't be that long. I'm sure it was just yesterday, seems like just a heartbeat ago...I still think of him so often! I have some of his pictures on my screen saver at work, he makes me smile, especially the one where he is roaching with his Christmas booties on...Maddison, you were such a special houndie...hugs to all of you, I hope his pics and memories make you smile. Have you ever heard Young@Heart's version of Fix You? Very moving...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-3IT4TeSxY
