Thinking of you and sending very best wishes your way.

Brilliant news! So very glad for you.

......for Sonny and all others who need its light today

Thinking of you and Tanner.

Hope she does well. Lots of dogs make amazing recoveries from strokes within days so there is a good chance if that's what it was.

What a terrible experience for you and Jack! So glad you finally found a vet who would help out though even if you are not his clients. I live only a few miles away from you so I know how bad the conditions were with the hard frost last night making the roads like glass. Hope all goes well and Jack makes a speedy recovery so you can get him back home before the weather deteriorates again.

Today's the day. Sending very best wishes for everything to go smoothly and the results to be the best you could have hoped for.

Sending good wishes to you and Jack.

Super news.....so glad to hear that.

Never rains but it pours.....in more ways than one obviously. Best wishes for both hounds.

What a handsome black boy! Glad he is doing well and hopefully will soon find a new home in 2009.

Had a couple of dogs had strokes over the years and it certainly sounds like that to me. Hope it is in some ways as they usually make a really good recovery, may well not have another or at least not for months or years and within weeks you will hardly know anything ever happened. Good luck anyway!

How scary is that! Hope she heals well and the sight is not too badly affected.

Maybe he isn't used to pottying on a lead. Could you maybe fasten two leads together to give him chance to move further away from you and see if that helps. Sometimes dogs seem to be shy and don't like to go too close to their owners.

Yes, my six year old foster dog has this clicking too. It is most noticeable when he walks round the house which is fully carpeted. Definitely not his nails and less noticeable when walking outside which seems strange to me. Doesn't limp and doesn't seem bothered or in in pain anywhere though I can't identify just which joint it seems to be coming from. He is now on G&C which I think might have helped though we still hear the clicking fairly often.

Bet it's the usual muscle pull in the neck/shoulder area.....at least I hope it's just that. My old girl Ragsy used to suffer from this every so often and I have had other dogs with the same thing in the past. I found gentle but firm circular massaging right down the neck, shoulder and leg on the affected side seemed to help a lot.

Personally I think there is far too much fuss about the 'quality' of dog poop particularly where greys are concerned.I have found with all our dogs that the more exercise they get through the day the softer their poops become after the first one whatever food they are on. As long as they do not have the big D, show no signs of anal gland problems and are otherwise healthy looking and fit, I don't worry about it. To be honest I think many people only care because it is easier to pick up solid poops and the constant owner concern and food changes and 'firming up' additions actually upset the dogs and make the situation worse.

Sending lots of because I'm afraid I haven't anything more constructive to offer only very best wishes for your boy.

You can always light a cyber candle for all those needing it at the Gratefulness site. You can give the candles a 'group name' so that all appear together on the same page for anyone who wants to find them and add their own......just in case some readers didn't know. http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/enter.cfm?l=eng

There is nothing to forgive. In fact she will be grateful to you for being brave enough to finally make the decision and set her free to fly forever more healthy and happy.

It does sound like she has pain somewhere but it could well just be a 'one-off' and she may be back to normal in a couple of days. Maybe she laid funny, bumped or twisted something. Could just be old age arthritis setting in a bit if she is getting on in years.

I hope you all have a wonderful time and make lots of lovely memories together for the years ahead.

Very best wishes for a speedy recovery for your boy.

Sounds like super news! Hope all goes well and your boy is soon home, painfree and on the mend.

Very best good wishes for your special boy.
