I'm so very sorry. As many others have written, Rita had a wonderful time--her best years--with you. I wish for both your sakes that she could have arrived sooner and stayed longer. Godspeed Rita.

Milo is doing amazingly well for a 14+ year old hound, let alone one with leukemia. Librela helped Toodles a lot. I have a couple of foster kitties on the kitty version (Solensia) and it makes a big difference, especially for the one with terrible arthritis in her elbows. I hope Milo responds to Librela.

I recall walking a group of four past a bunny. Not a single one noticed it because it wasn't moving.

My clinic switched this year from NexGard / NexGard Spectra (depending on season) to Simparica /Simparica Trio. Simparica apparently covers a broader range of ticks than NexGard. I didn't switch Grey Toodles because she was almost 14 3/4, but I've read that others are using Simparica (Trio) with their Greys. Daisy, non-Grey, tolerated her first dose just fine.

Yay AnnIE! You are a and so is your reluctant humom. Yay to Sid too!

Yep. I find that I can't take the activity levels of young animals. I never really could, but now my tolerance is even lower. Seniors are more my speed.

About 25 years ago, after my second puppy in 6 months, I said I was never doing puppy again. I did--I brought Daisy home 10 years ago because I couldn't find an adult Std. at the time. She was promptly dubbed The Jerk, or something along those lines. She's still a jerk, but slightly less go-go-go and doesn't nip or jump up.

Happy Gotcha 11 Facebook!

Gorgeous girl in an awesome collar! Any vet cheered on by a fan like Poppy would run her heart out. (The go-go-go spicy phase is ... trying.)

Thank you both. Toodles started to slide a few weeks ago and the latter part of last week was increasingly ugly. It was time.

I confess to missing all the baseball references, but I love Poppy's swag and her beautiful eyes are almost as big as sunglass lenses.

I'm glad you had less snow than expected. I'm even happier that we didn't get it.

Yeah. It happens so fast. ETA: I have zero interest in getting another puppy of any sort, but there's an almost-9 yr old broodie that might be up for a move to Canada, eh...

I hope the power is back. We've had three days of rain. I'm sick of it, but it's easier to handle than snow, especially heavy, wet snow.

Ugh. I don't envy you the over-supply of voice boxes. I don't believe wolfhounds or deerhounds are known barkers, but I've known only those that belonged to others. I haven't tried to live with one.
