Ozzy has a chip plus collar with ID. And a FI mainly for my peace of mind. He did not race so has no tattoos. He is full NGA bred though.

Merry belated Christmas!!

Tammy- I remember you! I also haven’t been on in forever as well. I tend to occasionally post on the FB site, but overall life has gotten in the way. I lost Rook over a year ago and have welcomed a new pup, Ozzy. He will be one in a week and a half. He came to us at 12 weeks. Yes, greyhound puppies are definitely landsharks. But basically just the same as most active puppies. Welcome back!

Rook lost his battle with cancer last week. It is so incredibly quiet and empty without him. He was such a happy, bouncy sweet boy.

Macoduck, I tried to post a photo but can’t get it to work.

Yes. When we lost Diesel both Sebau and Sully grieved. I tried to keep up with the schedule but also added extra activities and that seemed to help. When we lost Sully, Sebau seemed to just give up. She was already very elderly and battling age-related medical issues. We lost her less than a month after Sully passed.

I haven't been around much (I lurk on FB mainly these days). Rook was diagnosed with cancer a bit over a week ago. Amp is unfortunately not an option. He has LS and the remaining leg would not be strong enough. We are doing palliative care. So far his pain seems to be under control with gabapentin, previcox and tramadol. I hate cancer. It's taken all of my greys, and my father this summer.

I'm so sorry Jen. She was a special girl. Cancer needs to just off. It seems to be everywhere.

Sully's (Diamian) was Hallelujah Lass. Diesel's (Reb's Don Dee) was one you had listed, Gossamer. Rook's (Pasco) is also one you had listed, Marcia.

$45 around here for the SNAP.

I remember seeing Santana on the website before we adopted Sully. I was interested in him but we weren't quite ready yet and he was adopted before then. Sully wasn't a smiler but he would chatter and air-bite. The air-bites could be pretty loud and impressive- and scary if you didn't know what they were and that they weren't aggressive. He would air-bite and chatter when he was very excited, or air-bite, chirp and stomp his feet when he wanted something. Zoopy, it took a while for me to fall in love with Rook. We had just lost Sully and Sebau and I still missed them desperately. I think it was good that he looked nothing like them and of course, he behaves very differently because he is a completely different dog with his own unique personality. It also took him some time to trust us as he had been a bounce. DH and I bonded with him as we got to know him and he bonded with us as well. He's a great dog and we love him dearly. He's happy, funny and smart, but so incredibly food motivated that he has earned the nickname "the belly." He's also one that likes to try to play bitey-face sometimes He loves to play and sometimes forgets that his people don't necessarily want to play like a dog.

When I used it for Diesel, I did not notice any side effects. It did make a big difference in helping his pain when the Deramaxx and Tramadol were not enough. His dose was broken up to 3x/day.

Rook eats TOTW Pacific Stream (can't have any poultry or he gets super itchy and this one works with no runny stools) and goes through a 30lb bag in about a month- maybe a tad more. I usually buy once a month but often I have a few days to a week or so left in the bag when I purchase. He also goes through more depending on the season and increased activity, so it can vary. He's an average sized boy. He also does get things like tripe sticks, canned tripe/lamb/rabbit/bison so sometimes that will decrease the kibble amount to compensate.

I can't help you with the ALT but Sully was always around the 1.8 to 2.0 range for creatinine but with normal BUN. Rook was 1.8 last time, normal BUN.
