Happy birthday beautiful Bella! 14! Wow!
I love the picture of her surveying her city. What an exciting life she has had! I hope she has many more adventures with you.
Lila is a very furry girl and there is more fur than I can believe is possible during the Big Shed. A bath really did help in her case. It did seem to speed up the process. Just have a really good hair catcher on your drain or you'll end up needing a plumber. Oh, if you can get him in the tub. Most greyhounds are super clean and don't need regular baths. Lila was on the once a year plan, but now that she's 12 I don't want to wrangle her into the tub and make her stand there. She's still the cleanest dog I've ever seen. I think it is pretty normal for them to get more/better fur as they transition to home life.
Check the ingredients on the food to see if there have been any changes. An unannounced formula changed caused my girl to go picky which then caused a whole chain of other issues.
If he’s been on the same food for a while it is completely possible that he doesn’t like it any more. Is there a different flavor of the same product line you could try?
Lila goes though phases where she won’t eat from her bowl, but will greedily eat the same meal off a paper plate. She’s a weirdo, but it’s worth a try.
Nice poem Nikita!
The glacier is pretty much gone, just one remains on the patio. Lila flopped down in the dead, cold, damp grass today for belly rubs. I guess that means spring is here. Although we got 30" of snow last year on April 15.....
