Wow. I love it when this post pops up. I can't believe it's almost 10 years old. And thanks to this thread, I know that on 1/10/03 @ 10:14 AM, I was posting about Jed's olives. lol

I am so sorry. Jilly was such a special girl.

I am so sorry. Such a special and sweet girl. I remember watching her journey from the farm to your house.... I think the fields of dandelions are never-ending at the bridge... run (bounce) free sweet girl.

Such a long list. Thank you for sharing this. My condolences to all of the loved ones.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I cry every time I read this. But I also know that in sharing Eliza's story, you help countless others.

Winslow was such a special boy. Thank you for sharing his journey with us. Winslow gives hope to so many of us. Run Free, Winslow.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry.

Thanks! I just requested mine today.

Poor, sweet girl. I'm so sorry, but I am glad to know that she had love and comfort and food for the last weeks of her life.

My Jed had ehrlichia. Our first vet wasn't able to diagnose him, he was treated for several bladder infections until we switched vets. Our current vet nailed the diagnosis almost immediately. Stress would cause Jed to have a flare up. Now that you've got a diagnosis, Doxy is the key. We would pretty much get Jed on Doxy anytime he would start to act a little off. If he peed in the house, it was 8 weeks of doxy. When we first realized it was ehrlicha, Jed was also put on Prednisone (pill form) for the first 2 weeks and we treated with Doxy for 8 weeks. After that, when he'd have a flare, our vet would give him a shot of prednisone and send us home with doxy. Flares would also make Jed's temp shoot sky-high (105-106), so if he ever seemed off, I'd take his temp, too. Jed lived a long, happy life post-ehrlichia diagnosis. Daisy, our little found-hound, has Lyme disease. Because we caught it during her first flare-up, and treated it so quickly, my vet believes that it may not be an on-going condition for her - - that we may not have to worry about other flare-ups in life. I hope that the same is true for you and your hound, that you guys can knock this out now and not have to deal with it again later. But if you guys do have to deal with the occaisional flare-up, I hope that it's similar to my experience, and something that can be managed easily.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Riley was a beautiful boy and I always enjoyed the pictures of him with his mini-size family.

That's a beautiful urn.

I'm so sorry for your loss. She was a special girl.

Clicker training worked wonders for our non-grey puppy. I tried using it with Eli and... he's afraid of the clicker. When I click, he gets upset and tries to leave the room. I'm glad it's working for your grey. We were able to make great progress with Daisy and the clicker. Keep up the good work.

I'm so sorry.

Such a long list... so many loved hounds. I miss you so much, Ripple.

This is so sad, I can't even imagine the pain Maris & Yogi's family is experiencing. I'm so sorry for this senseless loss.

I'm so sorry, Mary.
