  1. Judy, the number of posts is a true testament to the Bean. I don't read Greytalk every day and I don't read every post, but whenever there was a post with Jilly's name in the title, I read the entire thread. She brightened my day and made me laugh. She will be missed and my heart goes out to you and your family.

  2. Kim, I don't know what to say. Nube is such a sweet boy and I know how much you and Bruce love and care for your dogs. Our first grey, KC, a beautiful red fawn, developed osteo, left front. She was almost 13 at the time. We opted for amputation without chemo. We got 8 months. There was no Greytalk at the time so there was no one to provide advice and support which is so important. Embrace the fact that there are so many people that care and feel your pain. And give Nube an extra snuggle from me.

  3. My June Bug tore her achilles totally two years ago at the dog park. Our local vet did not diagnose it correctly right away and finally sent us to the Wisconsin Veterinary Referral Center in Waukesha. One look and the Dr. Evans knew exactly what it was. June had surgery and went back weekly for bandage changes. She did beautifully and doesn't even have a limp.

     

    FYI. I was given no guarantee that the surgery would be a success but fortunately it was. I wouldn't worry too much about having to wait til the 11th. It took about a week before our vet sent us to Waukesha. Also, the actual surgery was $2,200 and we had small charges for bandage changes each week. I don't remember what the weekly charge was but no more than $50 each week. The xrays were sent to Waukesha by our regular vet so the xray charge was not included in the $2,200.

     

    Sending good thoughts for Casey. Prayers that he'll be as good as new. Note: June was 9 1/2 when it happened.

  4. If you have a Hispanic market near you check there for fresh green tripe. The Fiesta chain here carries it, and it's actually brown.

     

    Someone on here told me that it was illegal to sell it at a grocery store, but the head honchos at Fiesta said otherwise. :dunno

     

     

    Thanks. We have several smaller grocery stores not far. I'll check.
