  1. Army ants would be wearing cammies and have stripes on their sleeves indicating rank. Sorry, I just couldn't help myself. I have tried the homemade recipes suggested with no luck. I buy the fire ant killer from Lowe's or Home Depot. I only put a few grains (about a teaspoon) right near the hill opening. To keep the dogs away I put something on top on the mound like an upsidedown bucket or can. Then I put some wire garden fencing around it so the dogs can't get to it. Within a days or so there is no more activity. With whatever method you use, keep an eye out to see if the colony has moved. Sometimes another colony may pop up 20 feet away.
  2. I think I would rather know. I'm still second guessing myself over Oliver's stroke and death. Certainly there must have been some sign I missed. I would trade anything to have protected him from his last hour on this earth. I don't think it was painful, just bewildering to him. I thought I was done crying over him but ...........

  6. I asked someone in his office and that's what she said.
  7. Oh, Miss Jackie, such a pretty girl. Our angel Comet was diagnosed with lymphoma on his throat and passed 10 days later. Hug that little girl as close as you can and take lots of pictures........

  9. JohnE, Wally says it's better to have that funny collar on your neck to keep you from licking your boo boo, than to have it around your waist cuz then you'd look like a girlie dog. Get better soon big guy!
  10. Don't know what to tell you but here's Hey we're related! Wally's grandpa was Wigwam Wag. (Wally's our new boy) Wally aka Allen Hogg
  11. She sees the vet Thursday. This little girl sure has some bad luck. I picked her up the first time she was dumped: flea-covered, worm-infested, black gooky ears, rotting teeth. She's a good little girl her but her adopter of the past year has severely neglected her and she is/was again flea-covered with rotting teeth. There is a potential adopter for her once she deals with her medical issues.
  12. Has anyone had experience with a grey with a heart murmur who had to get anesthesia for a teeth cleaning? Our group has a "return" who is 10. The former owner only had her 1 year and was told recently she had a murmur and that the teeth cleaning would cost several thousand dollars because of it. I don't know how severe the murmur is but she will be getting a through exam by a grey-savvy vet soon.
  13. Thank you for sharing your story. I know how painful it is to write since we just lost Oliver to a stroke 2 weeks ago. I'm sure Oliver was on the other side of the bridge asking Bullet if he'd brought any cookies with him.
  14. Grapecat, I have a friend who's greyhound had a similar open fracture. Her dog also had the external hardware. She has completely recovered.
