  1. Congrats on your new girl! I volunteer with GPA-Wis too! I'm down at the kennel every other saturday that G.O. isn't there for there day. I'm just wondering what the kennel name was for your girl before you adopted her? Chances are that I walked her.

     

    Err, what is GPA? Should I know that?:blush Bhombolina's kennel name was "Ale Flashy." If you did walk her, I'd love to know anything you remember about her -- GO is great, but I don't think they had much info to give us.

     

    GPA stands for Greyhound Pet's of America.

     

    That little miss Flashy! She is a really sweet girl! I walked her several times while she was down at the kennel.

  2. My girl Angel has spay incontince.And she is on Proin 50 mg twice a day. Untill monday I've been able to order her pills from Omha Vaccince. A woman from the company called me monday and told me they can't carry them any more. She said the FDA changed some of the rules for pet medications. And I thought she told me that it now considered a narcodic(sp?). I looked on there website and there not lised any more too!

     

    So far I've found some of the place for her meds are:

     

    KV Vet supply

    $31.95

     

    Foster's and Smith

    $39.60

     

    National Pet Pharmacy

    $39.59

     

    Central Pet Pharmacy

    $38.99

     

    I was paying almost $34 for a 180 count bottle from Omaha Vaccine. And my vet wants almost $65 for a bottle that large.

     

    I've also checked 1-800 pet meds and pet care rx. And they both are fairly expensive.

     

    Does any one know of any other Pet Pharmacies out there?

  3. I got this method from one of my groups now retired board members. And I used this method to teach my girl Angel the stairs and it works well.

     

    With a leash on the dog. Very confindently go over the stairs and just walk up them. Don't stop at the bottom before you start going up them. Just go and the dog will have to follow you. and then when you get to the top praise them like crazy! And then try going back down. it works easier if they are next to a wall going both ways.

     

    I did this method with a hound I was doing a adoption for in March. Her foster home tried teaching her stairs. But the stairs had open backs. So she freaked and wouldn't do them. But once I got her to my house and did that method. She was doing stairs like a champ at my house and at her new home!
