To this evil elf -- I don't think you are evil. You sound very nice to me, so here are my answers: My Skorch is perfect in every way He is handsome and lovable each day His color is brindle -- not really red But more of a chestnut except for his head which is totally black. His girth is 32 1/2 inches at the deepest part I measured from his neck to his tail at the start And got 30 inches -- You see he's not frail. His 16 1/2" neck proves he's a Chip & Dale. My boy is a goof who loves all kinds of treats His stuffies are soft and must certainly squeak. Bright colors show off his handsome physique, He is not fussy at all with what he eats -- on cookies, on chew bones or bully sticks for sure Will only have Skorch asking for more. ----Skorch is perfect. He is a Florida boy who is trying to get used to Wisconsin weather. He was funny with the first snow. He kept shaking it off and hopping....

So glad that Joe will be feeling better soon. Teeth can cause a lot of problems -- even in humans...They must have been very bad to come out so quickly. Feel better soon, Joe...

Sending good thoughts to you, your family and to Darcy from Wisconsin....

I love the smell of fresh pine, especially at Christmas. Photograph of your dog(s)? Mr. Skorch is on the left. He is a handsome chestnut color brindle boy with a black face. He is BIG (around 80 lbs.) He looks good in anything, but I like rusts and earth tones the best on him with maybe a touch of cranberry or gold. June Bug is in the middle (white & brindle.) She is a short, stocky little girl. She probably weighs around 68 lbs. She looks good in bright colors -- purple and hot pink. She is the clown of the bunch. Carla is a petite red brindle. She weighs 57 lbs. She is on the right. I like her in bright colors. Pale colors are lost on her. All of my puppies love chew bones, bully sticks and plush toys....anything -- they are not fussy. They love treats period! Type of jewelery Mostly pins, but I like greyhound necklaces. Bracelets need to be at least 8". I have a fat wrist. I don't care for greyhound earrings, but I love earrings.

I am so sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful girl.

What a terrible shock...I am so sorry for your loss.

I have my three matches. Each one indicates "waiting on another member." But, my matches are perfect and I'm going shopping this weekend. Thanks Jeff and Trudy for all of the headaches you've had to endure getting this to work.

I am so sorry for your loss. You had a beautiful girl -- a face that you wish would talk back to you. No matter how old they are or how long you've had them, it's never enough time.

I signed up for 3 individual secret santas -- one for each of my hounds. I'm anxious to shop.

Bev, she actually looks good. We had an amputation done on our first greyhound (front leg as well) who was much older than Darcy, and she was able to get around just fine. I know it is a blow to you -- and to your poor baby -- but she looks like she's going to be okay. Time is the natural healer. Will be thinking about you.

Bev, I am so sorry to hear this. Prayers and hugs from us in Wisconsin. She's young.....she can do this...

Thanks, Trudy, for starting this so early. It gives us more time to shop to pick out special items instead of doing it last minute...

Thanks, Cyndi, for the information. The vet didn't mention SLO by name; just mentioned the possible need for fatty acids and a watch.... I see on the web site that they have a forum for this condition. I'll check it out. SLO also seems to be treatable....So, thanks again.

He didn't say anything about SLO. He just mentioned the possibility of him possibly needing fatty acids.... What is SLO?

Mr. Skorch is sporting a bright yellow bandage. The vet removed the nail and cut his nails as short as he could. I've only had Mr. Skorch since June and he came with long nails -- some of them looking strange -- he was also missing nails. The vet told me that some dogs are missing fatty acids in their system and this causes nails to fall off. And, when they grow back they look different -- Mr. Skorch has one nail that is long and skinny with ridges on it....(I've posted about it before.) So, I bought a fatty acid supplement to see if there is a difference.... My poor boy was so good. He never flinched. The vet was the doctor that the adoption center from Geneva Lakes used. He told me he misses the greyhounds a lot because they were so easy to work with.... The vet wasn't sure that my boy's 37 mile per hour run was the problem. He could have caught it on something. I'll probably never know, but at least he's okay......Also, my DH was home with the girls while I took Mr. Skorch to the vet. He said the the girls were inconsolable. June especially, she cried and cried until he came home.

Mr. Skorch was limping last night but by the time he was finished going potty, he seemed better. This morning he can't stand on his back right leg at all. Upon examination it appears that he has torn a toenail and it is hanging and bleeding. If I touch it he crys. Thankfully, the vet can see us at 8:20. It's quarter to 8 now and the vet is 7 minutes away. I feel guilty. I let him run in the radar run on Saturday at the GPA event. He wanted to sooo bad. He clocked at 37 and didn't run to the squawker. He ran to his mom....It could have happened then, but he didn't limp until last night..... I'll never let him run again.

I am so sorry.....

What a handsome boy, and so young. I am so sorry.....

I am so sorry. ....

I am so sorry for your loss. My Major Turn also had a tumor the size of a canteloupe. It was heartbreaking. I know how much you will miss your best friend.

I am so sorry for your loss...

I am so sorry for your loss. Our pups are our best friends and I know how much you will miss him.

Jennifer, I just saw this. I am so sorry. I had no idea he would leave so soon. Losing your very best friend is not easy. Prayers and hugs from Bob and I.

I am so sorry.

I am so sorry for your loss. This cancer is terrible.
