Now we need a picture. It's in the rules. (No emoticons on the kindle fire)

How is Pete this morning?

give him his racoon to distract, lol. and welcome to greytalk

I know some one mentioned it, but i will repeat. Also document what food the dog got/may have got the day of and day before. I had a pack of three; a boy & two girls. The boy, Red, was a seizure dog (idiopathic). Sprite ignored him and looked on in disintresst when he seized, but she also had no teeth. The other girl, Lottie, ran for the hills when he seized. Otherwise we would have crated him. We do know that he did have a seizure or two when no humans were home.

Which vet? Harry had a dental last year he lost one but vet chuckled and said he has extra.

She had a whole litter of duns she placed.

Had it done to one of our girls, Lottie. It was a regular surgery. She healed well, but you do have to keep they quiet for the healing time. Years later we couldn't even see a scar. I cut down a lot on her UTIs. she didn't get anymore until years later when she started having other health problems not related to the surgery.

Kathy runs a good kennel she will find the right home. I fostered a big black boy, Brett, for two weeks before i brought Harry home. I wanted to fail with Brett but. He was just not the right dog for us. He was adopted an hour and a half after I brought him back. And I took home a rambuncious medium size black ROMAN nosed boy. He is perfect for us.

we take them to the crematorium ourself. I guess years ago they just used a metal can, but we use to pick out a nice wooden urn/box until i discovered Sarah's memory boxes. They now send them home in a nice box and i transfer them when i feel ready. It took almost a year before I transfered Sprite from the wooden urn to the memory box.

add a column to the journal about food. if she had anything different from the usual.

i really miss my early to rise dog. I have overslept much too often since he left. sniff

11/4/93 - 2/29/08. You battled several rounds of cancer and beat it back as well as you could. But at 14 and round 4 you were tired and ready. We still miss you. http://www.greyhound-data.com/d?z=W3w0r4&d=buffs+comet

so sorry for your loss Diane.

we need more pictures.

oh good, the boys have a girl to boss them around, lol. Congrats, hope you fail, (fostering that is) lol.

exactly my thoughts.

um...Joan can't reach the top of the fridge, lol.

how is Gary doing?

rough play, he will be fine. Grace beats poor Harry up and he is usually sporting some kind of bruise some where. We did have a trip to the e-vet when she scratched him in the eye. There was swelling, a red spot on his eye lid and a blood red sclera on one side. vet checked it out with a scope and all. Some prednisolone and some antibiotic drops and by bedtime the swelling was gone, and in two the red was gone.

22 - the age my first greyhound would have been today Murphy - KB's Air Fare december 26, 1989 - December 4, 2003 Amazing She was the first. She was an only dog for a year and a half, how we resisted chipping before that I do not know. But the came Shine and six weeks later Kimmy joined the pack. She ruled the roost with a velvet paw. All this before digital cameras, and laptop computers, lol. Then the middleboro nine rescue happened, a flash back for those involved, and most of them are still involved in the greyhound world. I ended up fostering a big beautiful red and white boy from the rescue, and i learned i like the boy's attitude. So in the fall, when the NH tracks still dumped the slow dog when the tracks closed in the fall. I went to an adoption group to foster a big shy brindle boy. Sprite was none of those things, she was tall but thin, black, and VERY outgoing. Then in here somewhere Murphy, my big red fawn girl had a stroke like event. The vet had no idea, but with little medical intervention she recovered near 95%. She went to her first Dewey that year, my first Dewey too. Two more stoke like events over the years, and a terminal diagnosis due to a thoracic mass. She made it to 2003! 12/4/03 - Thirteen years, 11 months and 22 days. I should have let her go sooner, but it was the first time it was my decision. My dog, my responsibility. The vet came to the house and we set her free. We were all there for her, human and pack. Because of that one big red fawn girl with no kennel name we have welcomed a total of eight greyhounds (six girls and two boys) into our lives. Have lost 6 of them, but never regretted for one day having let these amazing animals into our life. Thank you Murphy, I still miss you.

I believe clams are too rich for dogs, but have not really given any to the greys, but my dachshunds always got sick (throwing up) from them. they greys do tolerate chowder, but that is just licking out bowls. Not whole ones.

i know i have some nature's miracle somewhere. Will have to search the garage. letting them out seperatly helps them to remember they have to go, actually Harry is great about it. He does his duty then plays.
