Welcome to GT & congratulations on Ray. Love that jet black! Cricket

Thanks, Dick! We often joke that Xena won her races by knocking out her opponents - when she runs, her legs go everywhere!!! Cricket

Would love to know about Kycera (who now goes by Mulligan) and Kebo Tina Turner (who now goes by Xena). Adopted by Cricket & Cheryl. Thanks in advance! Cricket

What a handsome lad. Welcome from SC. Cricket

Congratulations & welcome from SC! Cricket

WOW! Those are some GREYT shots, Rick! Cricket

I volunteer with the Charleston (SC) chapter of Greyhound Pets of America. We have folks down in the Bluffton/Hilton Head area that sometimes do meet & greets in Pooler, GA. Cricket

Mulligan gets the 365 brand from Whole Foods - one in the morning, one in the evening. Same pill we take. We keep ours in the freezer (I heard somewhere that it helps to keep you from getting that fish oil burp). She used to just eat them up like a snack, but now we have to tempt her with a little peanut butter. Cricket

Welcome. Beautiful dogs there - especially the brindle. Cricket

Agree with kudzu - we give Mulligan 2 fish oils daily plus coconut oil in her food (I put a tablespoon in her breakfast - I think Cheryl only puts in a teaspoon). Cricket

Amazon sells two 54 oz. containers of the NUTIVA for $54.71 with free shipping. That's about the best I've found so far. Cricket

Mulligan gets 3 cups split into 2 meals. Mostly we serve it dry, but sometimes we add a little water. Cricket

No, no store bough lotion. And I don't wear make-up, so can't answer that question. The coconut smell isn't overpowering - very light. Good luck with DP. Cricket It sure can't hurt. Cricket

I'd say it was mild - I didn't know I had it till I started going to a dermatologist on a yearly basis. Was prescribed Metrogel (don't remember what strength & I'm not at home). Cricket

For rosacea!?!?!?!? OMG could I finally have my miracle?!?!?! What EXACTLY do you do?? I have a separate (smaller) container of coconut oil that I keep in the bathroom for personal use. I put the jar on the floor of the shower in the morning so the hot water from my shower melts it. I then dip my fingers in the jar, rub my hands together & put it over my entire face & neck. You can also just take a small amount of the solid CO out & rub it between your palms until it liquifies. I figured since coconut oil was an anti-viral/anti-fungal/anti-bacterial that I'd rather put something natural on my face. Cricket

We use DOGZYMES for Mulligan. Cricket

I've personally been using coconut oil for about a year now - both for cooking & skin and hair care. We started adding it to Mulligan's food after hearing one of the other owners from our group say she used it. Sometimes I'll melt it and pour it over her food. Sometimes I just spoon it out & mash it up with her enzymes before adding the kibble. As for personal use, I put it on my face & neck in the mornings. The last time I was at my dermatologist she commented on how great my rosacea looked. I didn't tell her I wasn't using the topical anti-biotic she prescribed & was using coconut oil instead. Anything left on my hands, I run through my wet hair. I think it makes it feel softer. There's a great book called The Coconut Oil Miracle that explains a lot about coconut oil being a good saturated fat and it's many uses. I swear by the stuff now and tell everyone I know about it. Like someone else, I use it as a spread (like butter). Cricket

There's also C.E.T. AquaDent. Cricket

Thanks 2gretygreys - I used to live in Chesapeake (among other places in the Hampton Roads area). Thanks for the welcome everyone. Here's a link to Mulligan's web album. https://picasaweb.go...feat=directlink

I thought about that as I was posting. I'll have to work on that for you. Cricket
