Often times on Facebook I see people reacting to a photo posted by its owner. They say he or she "looks just like my greyhound!" I admit to reading those comments with an eye roll beause of course you'll see another greyhound that looks like your own online, given the color combos for greyhounds. But now I am one of those people. I have always wondered my my first greyhound Gracie (Dusty Lady), would have looked like as a puppy. Thanks to your Poppy photos, I finally know.

Saying goodbye to the beautiful greyhounds and their friends who left us in April 2024. As you run with the wind send a caress to wipe our tears. Gone but never forgotten. Loved forever. Run free with those who have gone before you. Greet all those that will follow. Zeke Jada Toodles, now joined by Rosie, her kitty sister They'll always be with us, just slightly beyond the point that we can see with our eyes. In our heart, though, they'll be bright and clear, as they always were.

22" ? Best to keep those horizontal campers of yours inside.

Watching our dogs age it is surprising when what were routine days suddenly get a nudge into uh-oh territory. Jan, I bet you were holding your breath filming the video. NoAh has a theory on why Punkin is so taken with the new stuffie: it does knot yet have her sister's stink smell on it, so DIBS!

Librela has greatly helped Howie's arthritis. He's had 2 injections so far. We're 2 weeks away from injection #3 but I am going to hold off on it. I noticed very recently that he pants for about an hour in the afternoon and two days ago he started peeing in the house. His UTI check was negative today. The panting and change in his pee habit are low on the list of side effects of Librela. But since they are on the list we are going to take a break. Librela has a long half-life. When we're at one to two months of him being off it we'll reconsider using it again since there's a chance that he is reacting to stress in the house. Rita month-long treatment for leishmaniasis and Flashy's 2 day stay at the E-vet have upset all of us.

We tried everything, and I do mean everything,for my podenco Howie. Either the meds had no effect or they doped him up too much. Ask your vet about Amitriptyline. It's an older medicine that also helps with pain. Howie is a much calmer, much less fearful boy on Ami. No side effects. Inexpensive too. If Doolin isn't on any kind of serotonin med, it should be ok to use.

Many years ago one of my greyhounds lost a nail and there was that little quick. It reminded me of.........if you've ever peeled boiled shrimp and pinched the shell of the tail for an easy pop off, there's what looks like a little quick on the end. I swear, I am not on drugs. For Gracie

Antech has a lab in the Tampa area.

Busted! I think she's telling you that you forgot everything on her grocery list.

vincent800, I have a friend who used scents to help her blind dog stay oriented in her multi dog house. I'll ask her what she used.

This might work: https://www.optivizor.com/ Or perhaps a harness with an extended front "bumper". Enter "blind dog harness bumper" on Google and you'll see several manufacturers. https://www.amazon.com/Accesories-Protection-Harness-Guiding-Anti-Collision/dp/B0CJCV4HKW/ref=sr_1_7?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.WaxM4t6laoDkGiW_SeUwg2acUozsa6InWTQBvypNJ0NgKr860bhitf2PmBNLWRtZzOBFN-yFHLFa-R6W6bOjO_c9DQNuDzAV_nTrQpUAqDLE4WgopEUBMusRVuCC0yqCoPGUtNHM3u5ni0WfvLFOEQJv_8h0tapAnfuhYtuAjOlMT2nc1jKePvEKZSte2sJg1UMe5xGiKPe7DyBqPF_Ju3WFU581Qvu9ISfPdV6RmIpb8DoXBCeCGtuufLxSBgX4AcKvbs8l5mEh_KTzrhhItIt4ClB2Ktimvbqe5q67Gu4.cel1Vge5FuCcwSFtn7s3hDtnbub1I2vVBV6sRGfzhck&dib_tag=se&keywords=Blind%2BDog%2BBumper&qid=1710100215&sr=8-7&th=1

My new Irish girl, Flashy, has been with us for a month. I wasn't surprised that she had loose stool after the stress of traveling and a food change. Fortunately, although gooey at times, it was not full blown diarrhea. This week Flashy met my vet for a new dog wellness exam and I asked for a fecal test. Instead of the usual fecal test he suggested the Keyscreen GI Parasite PCR panel by Antech. Although her pre-travel testing showed her to negative, this test showed her positive for Giardia duodenalis. This explains how Antech works and finds moe than the typical float or ELISA tests. https://www.antechdiagnostics.com/keyscreen2/ https://www.antechdiagnostics.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/KeyScreen-Educational-Support_Giardiosis_Digital_020323.pdf This test was sent out on Friday and vet texted the results in 24 hours. Cost $65. I'll pick up medicine on Monday.

And book a room now for the Sidney James Motor Lodge! Booking now gets you a better room location. You have until the day before the event to cancel.

Jan, just to be safe I looked outside and I did knot see any snow surrounding my she shed. My she shed with angel Georgie.

Has Mark passed the french fry eating test and not had any drop out of his mouth whilst chomping?

Meclizine is an over the counter pill for seasickness and nausea. Same formula as Dramamine but without the high price tag. If the drooling is indeed from nausea then ask your vet about it. I've only found it in smaller pharmacies but have also ordered it from Amazon. https://www.petmd.com/pet-medication/meclizine-nausx-dogs-and-cats Are you in the US or UK?

How long have you had him?

Aaron, if you're on Facebook, there's this page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/GreyhoundswithSLO/discussion/preview

Oh dear, however will Mark be able to keep frenchie fries from falling out the side of his mouth?

With the Fi you would need to have the base device at the sitter's house and set a new zone. No base needed with Whistle or Trackr. Your sitter would need to have the Whistle app on her phone where she can easily check what % of charge is left. I charge mine once a week, which by then might be down to 80%. I don't like it lower than that because if I have to activate the search mode during an escape, with each of these systems the battery would drain faster. I do wish these systems could be monitored on a computer though.

I ditched my Fi2. There are even more complaints on the Fi3. Customer service practically nil. But surprisingly when I emailed to cancel I was surprised that they pro-rated a refund for the remaining months of my contract. There's plenty of hate for it on the Fi Collar Owners FB page. If your membership expires, the device won't work. It comes with its own charging base. You also get a collar with it the is notorious for breaking and losing the gps device. Many users buy Etsy-made collars or pouches for them. Both Trackr (no e) and Whistle are good. I have Whistle on 3 of my hounds. Customer service is responsive and helpful. Whistle doesn't have a charging base. It comes with a cord but can be charged with an android type cord. Each of these devices will cease to work at expiration. I pay $99 per dog yearly. The Whistle collar comes with 2 attachments. I use the one that clips on around a collar. The second has a velco wrap for larger collars. Don't even consider the AirTags or the like unless you are in the city. They are useless in the countryside.

AnniE, you look gorgeous!

Welcome back,Kayra. Are you on Facebook? If so, it's kinda easy to share your photos from there: on FB click on the photo and select copy image link, return to GT and paste. Your image will be too big to post so when you see your photo do a left double click. In the box that pops up only change the size by entering 444 or 333 in the left side box, the right box will adjust itself.
