So sorry for your sudden loss. Run free, sweet Clifford. Cricket

He's gorgeous! Again, welcome & congratulations. Cricket

Xena was a counter surfer when we 1st got her. I took 5 empty soda cans, put 6 or so pennies in each one, taped the opening (so the coins wouldn't fall out & be eaten), tied them together & stacked them pyramid style. I then tied the bait (in this case, a hot dog bun) on a longer string attached to the pyramid & set the bait close to the edge of the counter and walked away. She goes after the bait, which pulls the cans down & makes a loud, frightening racket. The dog associates this with the unwanted behavior, and not with you. We had to do this several times, but she (mostly) stays away from the counter now. Good luck! Cricket

A beautiful tribute for a beautiful girl. So sorry you had to lose her way too soon. Run free, sweet Brin. Cricket

Congrats on the new addition & welcome from SC! What a handsome lad he is! Cricket

Xena loves the cicadas. Yum, yum, CRUNCH! Cricket

Glad to hear she's feeling better. Hope the docs figure out what's wrong. She's beautiful! Cricket

So sorry for your loss. Run free, sweet Buffy. Cricket

This! Also, once you have taught them to swim, teach them which end of the pool has the steps. I read somewhere that more dogs drown from exhaustion because they don't know where/how to get out. I had a pool when I lived in FL and was constantly reinforcing with the poodles (pre-greyhound days) which end of the pool had the steps. My golden retriever didn't have to be shown twice. Cricket

What a lovely tribute. So sorry for your loss. Run free, sweet Ziggy. Cricket

What a handsome lad! Congratulations again! Cricket

What a wonderful tribute to your beloved Daisy. So sorry for your loss. Cricket

Very helpful. Thanks for the pictures and the description! Cricket

Yes, we did have a good foster mom. So much so, that we asked for her to foster our second grey (Xena recognizes her, too - but doesn't go crazy like Mulligan does). And lucky for us - and them - she does in-home dogsitting! Thank you sobesmom (and all the foster mom & dads out there), for fostering. Your hard work is appreciated! Cricket

So very sorry for your loss. Run free, sweet Kentucky. Cricket

Our first grey (Mulligan) goes CRAZY when she sees her foster mom at a meet & greet. I concur - they remember. Cricket
