[Negri 8 Aug '06 - 18 Feb '19]

We have lost our Negri.

Almost 3 weeks now, it's been so hard to start this post.

Tuxedo Galgo, saw her online and was smitten.

5 years old from Spain, covered in scars, scared of other dogs.

Food hound (of course)

Excited to go out for a walk,

if it wasn't raining and if it was only to the bottom of the road,

otherwise what we had was a drag with attempted bribery.

Loved loved her beds, especially ours and under the duvet.

 

 

 

Couple of months ago diagnosed with DCM (dilated cardiomyopathy)

seemed to be doing well on the medication.

Her last day she refused breakfast (absolutely unheard of)

and couldn't settle so we called the nice lady vet & nurse to come and help her leave us.

 

 

Some recent photos:-

 

As she got more white on her face she grew a heart shape

tried for ages to get a good shot

 

 

she liked to keep awkward food contained by putting it in her bed

frozen eggs or the ice block in this picture

 

 

somehow it tasted better with the bum in the air

 

 

and her favourite thing of all,

rest in peace, my little sleeping beauty

[Iker]

ahh, a special one

 

there'll be a new bright star in the sky

[Another Cool Whippet]

the cool whippet portrait topic reminded me of this awesome t.shirt design

 

found by accident browsing for something or other

 

instantly decided i needed it

 

 

the artist has some other wonderful drawings too

 

especially the line drawings

 

but this puppy is just amazing

 

 

[Right Turn Only]

does she let you do a 180 after the right turn exit?

[Vetmedin]

Negri has always insisted that if we eat so does she

 

if we have dinner early we sometimes split her meal

 

vetmedin is supposed to be given an hour before food

 

how long after eating does it count as an empty stomach

 

we are planning on 6 o'clock tablets and 7 o'clock food

 

could we feed her her half (or less?) at 4pm or 5pm?

 

how small a quantity / how long before the dose, for it not to interfere with the medication

now this is some world class counter surfing

[Crochet Sweater Pattern]

this one seems similar but she says she made alterations

 

the Aerie Designs currently on etsy's handmade4hounds don't look at all the same

 

maybe there was a different pattern 20 years ago

[Blossom, Mutt, 2001-2014]

reading your story made me think of a phrase

 

usually meant in a derogatory way

 

understood differently by those of us here
