Dried duck or chicken feet have always been a big hit, as well as slightly frozen ones. They do look creepy, though.

Since she likes other dogs, I imagine she would appreciate a companion, but I am not sure if it would help her do better on walks or not. It might, sometimes seeing that their buddy is calm makes them feel more confident, but not always.

I’ve tried them a few times, no interest from the hounds. They also do look pretty hard.

Agree with the washable human pads. If you can find "used" ones they are much cheaper. Used may be a little dingy looking, but have been sterilized and are clean. They have many uses. The only thing I bought from Drs Foster & Smith was slumberballs, and apparently they discontinued those a while back.

I am so very sorry. Yes, we have been there, so we do know what you are going through. Enjoy the time you have left. One more piece of advice, if at all possible, find a vet that will come to your house, when the final time comes. It will be easier on you and your wife, emotionally as well as physically, and most important, much easier for Joey.

Please let us know what the vet says. Don’t worry about how long your posts are, if you need to talk, we are here to listen. I am sorry your health has deteriorated, that is certainly not your fault! I know you will do the best you can for Joey.

If the harness is properly fitted, not rubbing anywhere in normal use, it should be fine when you have to lift or pull. I actually found a harness gave me better control with my Fletcher, who was 90lbs, 37” tall, leash aggressive to strange dogs, and generally willfull. I loved him dearly though When we would have a difference of opinion about which way we should go, I would plant my feet and wait him out. Eventually he would stop pulling and we would go the way I wanted. I told him he might be stronger than me, but I outweighed him If you have the time, you might try this when she statues. Walk the way you want to go until the leash is taunt and there is a little pressure on the leash, enough to let her know that you want her to go a certain way, then stand there, keeping up the pressure, until she gives in. It could take as long as 10-15 minutes at first, so you may not have time on your walks, but it worked for me

yep, 3a.m. For sure

Great ears!

It sounds like she is getting plenty of exercise! In fact, I would bet most greyhounds would be envious of her schedule One of my greys is also very friendly and wants to greet everyone we see. Well, except small children, she is afraid of babies. She doesn’t statue, but she does pull towards people, even if we have walked past (as you said, not everyone wants to say hello). Your girl will probably get better, just give her time. Remember, greyhounds are sprinters, not marathoners. Most races last about 30 seconds, and at least in the US, dogs generally run about every three days. Also, greyhounds aren’t bred for all day work, like herding breeds for example, so lots of short walks like you are doing is more what they are used to. And, at 6, she is middle aged, so she doesn’t need the workout a puppy or young dog would. Of course, dogs are individuals, some 10 yr olds will walk for hours and some 2 yr olds won’t want to leave the couch

Conner has a variety of mobility issues and laser therapy helps him quite a bit. Acupuncture is another good option.

Glad he is getting the treatment he needs! You rock Pam

Don and his harem Love the smile on Petunia’s face!

I think she has a direct line

Poor little guy! Yes he needs surgery, I know you will take care of him.

Can’t do better than a broodie :beatheart

Our Costco recently got in some of the bolster beds and the round ones. I haven’t bought anymore as Conner no longer likes the bolster beds. May pick up a round one. There are going to be some sad hounds in this house when the slumber balls give out.

damn you Petco/PetSmart (can't keep straight who bought what)

"Listen, I already told you this once..." :beatheart

nice!

Whatever it takes

yep, nailed it!

but he'll keep checking, just to make sure

:beatheart
