Good Morning Diane,
Looks like you have really been having your share. I read the thread about Tootsie. How is she doing? We send hugs and Winslow sends a big butt sniff.
Did everyone else stop limping? We hope so.
Here, things are moving right along. As you know I have been painting the house and dyeing the bedsheets to match. Since THE BED is the main focal point of our living AND dining rooms, I figured I should just make it look like it belongs there. That seems to be working out well. Winslow, always watchful of THE BED, seems to like the new colors.
Craig's friend in California, David, runs a Whippet rescue (I think he takes others as well). Dave also supports auctions and he won a very nice collar from FASTDOG DESIGNS, which he had made especially for Winslow.
It's a really pretty collar and Winslow loves it! Since BUNNY is his favorite toy and his favorite food, this collar fits right in! It's well made and looks really good on the boy. They also sent him a matching tag collar that is also too cool. Again, it's his favorite color - PURPLE. As you can see in the photos, this gorgeous collar can also be used for a sleeping mask for day sleepers like Winslow. (he thought that was funny).
Winslow has such good friends! People were very helpful and supportive with his swollen foot. He had visitors and a lot of get well wishes! We are very thankful to all! As you know, Winslow loves to be read to. We read all posts from his Greytalk diary to him.
Now that he's well again, we are going back to the pool. We start again on Wednesday and looking forward to it! Winslow has also been talking about a trip to OSU. He wants to meet Dr. Couto.. Hmmm. More about that later.
Be well, all of you!

Hi Diane,
How's Tootsie? Is everything back to normal at your house? Are you all set for the auction?
FINALLY! Today is the first day since the "Malamute Foot Incident" that everything is finally back to normal.
It took more than a week to get those nasty antibiotics out of Winslow's system. I finally got his diet back to normal about 3 days after he finished the pills, but his poop has been every variety of mush until today. Finally.
So I guess this means the "Malamute" chapter is over. We never found out what caused it, but it seems to be all gone now.
Tomorrow, SWIMMING!!!! Winslow is really looking forward to it. He has a lot of energy and I know he's missed his swimming lessons. We have to start over on the laps, but I'm sure he will build that up in no time.
We just went out for a morning jog around the neighborhood and "hot boy" is now on the bed waiting for his bowl of ice. It's 65 degrees here. Some things never change. I think we're going to be living with "fanny" all winter.
Gotta go, he's impatient.
