When will we receive our matches if we signed up?

I also have a hound who is nervous away from home and I've tried several brands of "calming" chews but nothing seems to have made him more relaxed.

We have had him for a year in April. When we first got him we went through the typically full separation at first then added baby gates while supervised and muzzled, then slowly took away more of the gates to give Aidan more free space, then only a baby gate by the door and no muzzle. I believe they were alone together by the end of the first month. He has always been interested in "watching" Brewski run around but normally never seems interested to get off his bed. I've pulled out another baby gate and did as other posters suggested and am placing it at the door to his room which has his littler box, cat tree, water, etc. I should of never took it down I just assumed everything was going well. Since the incident everyone has been running like normal and their has been peace and I hope it continues. Thank you again to everyone who has offered advise, this is a amazing community and the poster support is unmatched.

I actually thought of you when this happened! Thank you for the thought for reply as well as the one from greysmom. I think I just needed to vent my feelings about it and after a good nights rest last night I feel much better about it this morning! I know we all love our greys on here but Brewski was my first pet and holds a special place in my heart.

I guess I will start with a little background before the story. Aidan (my grey) and Brewski (cat) have always gotten along well. They don't love each other but are always happy ignoring the other and just doing their own thing. Aidan came to us as "cat friendly". I might be over reacting but the whole event left me shaken and uneasy. After Brewski uses his litter box he sometimes likes to run around the house with what we call his "poo crazys". Aidan often will chase him into a room but he had never done anything and I think Brewski thinks its a game. He normally just likes to run up to him and thats it. They both have free reign of the house while were at work and I've never had ANY problems with either one of them but this time was different. This time when Aidan chased him I heard Brewski cry and came in to find he had got him in the neck hard enough to rip his collar off. Brewski was hiding in the corner hissing. (he normally never hides or hisses at the dog). I know I'm going to get the "im a bad parent" responses for having them together unmuzzled but they had always been fine before this event. I guess I'm just a bit shaken and posting about it makes me feel a little better. Has anyone else who has cats have any experience on this topic? Will this change the way they interact from now on? They currently seem ok, going about their normal business.

Aidan also hates carrots and will not eat them but loves Olewo carrots and will eat them straight even if there not mix in his dry food.

This should be a great thread! I have Aidans birthday coming up this weekend and would like to cook him a special meal.

good point! Which is why I always check the expiration dates on any food I order online.

So happy to see this. I was following his story and I'm so glad to see he looks in high spirits! Great job Zander!

That was so sweet of Hutch and Tibbs to take time to donate blood today

As CharlieRhea said is it all the time? or just a seasonal thing? I know my Aidan normally has a beautiful coat free of dandruff and flakes but recently with this horrible cold weather and then coming into a warm house his skin is taking a beating just like mine. I'm hoping it will get better when it starts to warm up outside. Has Connie been scratching or licking those spots at all?

Thanks Mandy! I was thinking it might just be user error on my part so I will just keep trying. Its brand new too so many it just needs to be worked in a bit. He does need a nail trim as well.

Love that bed frame but love those cute girls more! Great picture and welcome!

I recently ordered and received a Therapaw booty through Greythounds of Eastern Michigan (high recommend their store!) and got a size TE which was the largest they offered. I'm having trouble getting it to stay on though, I almost feel its to small. Aidan is a 66lb male. He dosn't give me any trouble getting the boot on his foot but it never seems to stay on for more then a minute with him walking perfectly normal. I would order a larger size but I want to make sure its not just a user error. Does anyone have any experience with this? What size do your hounds wear if they have a therapaw?
