I just returned mine to Costco in a trash bag.... I had my slip so no problem. In the same boat as Jennifer, plus I don't have my receipt. They did call me today though so it isn't like they don't know I bought a bag recently. I'm going to call them and see what they will do. If they called you they have a record of your transaction and can look it up on their computers. You should have no difficulty returning the food with or without a slip.

My heart hurts for you Dee.

My Wink is no longer on heartworm meds. She has started having reactions to imunizations, combinations of meds, etc. At 12.5 we feel the risk of heartworm is secondary to the immediate reactions she has developed to most medications and my vet agrees. We applied natural insect repellent on her this summer. luckily she doesn't react to pain meds.

I went through similar scenarios with my late greyt Finn. I never got definitive answers. When the last exam's suggestion was a VERY COSTLY MRI that is when I started to smarten up. My advice is to go with the path less invasive. Really rest him. I trusted my local vet more than the surgeon expert and more importantly my local vet trusts me. The other big issue with greyhounds is the "high drama vs shut down factor" Most greyhounds shut down in response to the big pain. Exams can show very inconsistant reactions to pain. They are sometimes very frustrating for their vets .....hard to weed out the stress shut down factor from real pain. Good luck with your pup. It always sucks to see them in pain. Oh btw... what the expert was suggesting was the problem that needed surgery... WASN'T

My 12 year old Wink learned to sit at the ripe old age of 11! Not the brightest lightbulb, she always had a perfectly good natural sit on the couch or in the car just was very uncomfortable doing it on deman... and still is. Her rear end and legs get all shaky with nerves because she HATES to sit on demand. Birdie has no problem and neither did my big tall male gh. As for the leash walking .... Their training at the track required them to walk well on a leash, but out in front of the handler who was trying to wrangle several dogs at once. I think it is from that training that they seem to naturally want to walk out front. I don't have a problem with that as long as there is no pulling. Obviously I am not into training Your dogs sounds perfect to me.

Has he been walking on concrete or pavement? Sometimes some pink will show on the pads just from wear on hard surfaces. If it is smooth, pink and soft it may be wear. Corns have a different texture, are harder than surrounding pad and if you haven't see it yet, will see some edge to them.

Yup... dropped muscle. I have seen many. No worries about it effecting his health.

Kim and Rob, I'm so sorry for your loss. Benson was a great dog.....

True led the best life.... 13 is a good age for any dog. She went quickly and spared you the pain of making that ultimate decision that most of us have to. Deramaxx hopefully made those last couple of hours easier on her. I know for you saying goodbye to True was like saying goodbye to such a big part of your life. She was an amazing dog and she had the best life with you. Stop second guessing and just remember all she was to you.... all the good things she brought to your life.

I'm so sorry Caroline. She was such a sweet dog who loved you dearly.

Welcome from the Seacoast of NH.

Wink has one similar to Emily's. It comes and goes. The vet is not concerned, this has been an ongoing thing for about 3 years.

Welcome from the NH Seacoast. My Birdie is also a KST offspring. Welcome to the world of greyhounds.

I don't know, but what I am thinking is .... He was hurt and stressed by the incident that caused the injury, add that to the stress most dogs feel going to the vet and for me that totally explains his behavior. I don't see it having anything to do with you being "grumpy" if you were not yelling at him or acting out in any other way. JMO

I love those sabled fawns. So striking looking. Congrats on your new addition. Those O'Donnell dogs are the best!

Welcome from the NH Seacoast. You are brave to take on a greyhound puppy! LOL

Works wonderfully here.... I put it in my planting gardens this spring where they LOVE to dig. They tried once and have left it alone since.

Jack and Peet, I am so sorry for you loss. Those sweet boys leave such a big hole in your heart.

I'm so sorry Gideon.

what she said And could we add "seeing your post has been removed doesn't mean post it again"? What they said

We have added a puppy to our house quite seamlessly. Our old lady, Wink, is her cuddle partner and Birdie her playmate,teacher and disciplinarian. http://forum.greytal..._1#entry4860278 Smokey was just about 3 months old when she came home. The way you describe your grey's personality sounds a lot like my hounds. They lived with cats as well but we don't have cats now. She should do just fine with a puppy. Supervision and a crate are key! Good luck with your search.
