Chris, Thank you for the academic articles. I shall read the biophosphate one carefully.
"Plan for a catastrophic break at home" - What would anyone suggest? That is my biggest nightmare and I will do a lot to minimize that scenario (yes, a day early).

Joshi sure had a soft landing, didn't she?

We got the bad news yesterday. Amputation is not an option. Mercury is 11 with spinal arthritis and a fair amount in his front right wrist (Osteo is in front left leg). So, my goal is to keep him as comfortable and with me as long as possible. Yes, we have an oncologist consult next week, but I'm doing my homework now.
I'm pretty sure I want the biophosphate treatment to retard progress but what about chemo or radiation? What have been your experiences with non-surgical Osteo treatments.
Thanks for your input and I'm sorry for your loss.

One of the things I disliked about moving to Florida and a "neighborhood" is having to use single-use plastics to pick up a biodegradable product. I reuse grocery bags but as I tend to use totebags, there aren't many of those.

Love the light tunnel! You need to get someone to take a photo of you and the campers inside it.

Camp Greyhound needs to invest in a BBQ with a side burner.

I didn't even see Punkin there until I saw the comments and went looking for her.
Me, too.

Such fun!
So…. That’s how I’ll go down in history. Yeah, I’m O.K. with that.

Thanks for that (and for remembering about my assignment for my MBA students).
I don't show myself on the internet often but for you guys......My video for my students
Yes, I really snailmailed all 38 students a can of SPAM for their term projects.

There were hilarious lessons about how hounds can't get under the sheets while standing on the sheets.
Oh My Word. I can't tell you how many times I've had to tell Mercury he has to MOVE before I could cover him because he was standing on the blanket.
Eight weeks, huh? That might be a record.

One of our dogs did that one year with lawn reindeer with the bobbing heads.
I was at Greyhounds Reach the Beach several years ago. One display had dog shaped balloons. I saw a hound go up and sniff the balloon's butt.

Houndie #1: Oh boy! We're going for a ride! And Mummy's picking up dinner! I wonder what it is!!
Houndie #2: I'll bet they forgot the extra gravy. Again.

I think it's great when they come to you for help and the trust that they show to know you will try your best to put things right even if they are in pain. Not that I'm saying a biscuit crumb caught in the cheek is high on the pain scale
I considered it a show of his trust in me. Mummy will make things better.

Mercury will come to be at bed time with a pitiful look on his face. I know he's gotten a piece of his bedtime biscuit caught in his cheek. He comes to me. I poke it back into his mouth. He chomps it up and goes to bed. Good to know I'm useful for something.

Job?
Yep, that sums up Mercury. Though he can be a good space heater during nap time, in the summer, in south Florida, when you're trying to cool off.

Ivy! Calling Ivy (Carolina Spoon) to the contest.
She has the most beautiful earigami.

Ducky, you do so many good things for the greyhound community. Thank you. (And maybe you were thinking of me [if we ever find a big, bombproof boy who wants his own couch].)
