Guest izzi_iz_lazi Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hi everyone! After my first introductory post a number of you asked for pictures. Well, with the help of thread in the Technical section, I've learned how to get the photos from Photobucket to Greytalk. These are picture of our beloved Izzi. She's a 3.5 year old Black female and living in Shrewsbury, MA. I hope you enjoy. ------------------------------------ Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest denise13 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hi Scott! She is a beauty! And I love the pink! Yeterday you asked about her getting up early! I only know from my experience with Buzz last year that as he settled in, he slept later. I'm a teacher, so during the school year, when I'm up early, so is he...he wants to go out right after I leave...requiring my husband to take him in the morning. On the weekends and during the summer... if I sleep in, so does he and it may be an hour or two later that he'll finally get up. Give her a chance and try to get her to adapt to your schedule. If Buzz gets up too early, I will ask him to go and lay down, which he usually does. But, if he really is pacing and whinning, then I know that he needs to go out. He has figured out that going out is attached to food and he really wants that food! Good luck and hang in there! She will get the hang of it. Buzz really wanted to please and he figured it out soon enough. And maybe we will see you at one of the reunions. I can't say enough about Greyhound Friends and Louise Coleman! What she does for the dogs is wonderful! Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What she does for the dogs is wonderful! Denise Denise, Thanks for your input. Izzi is really doing sensationally. For now, she is sleeping downstairs on her doggie beds and doesn't make a peep until 5:30-6:00. This is perfect as I have to get up anyway and make lunches and breakfast for my crew. We take a nice 30 minute walk before she's fed and she just lies around until a last, shorter walk before work. Today we had her in the crate for 7:45 - 3:30 (my wife is a teacher and she's teaching a summer enrichment course) which is a good indication of how she'll react to a normal 7:45-5:00 schedule come September. She did great. Happy to see us when we got home but still took her timing peeing when walked (She's got strong bladder muscles). I personally, think she will be able to have the run of the house during working hours, but my wife doesn't trust Izzi yet. The only thing I'm struggling on how to deal with is loose poop. She was diagnosed with hookworm at her first vet visit, so I'm hoping it's related. I think I'm going to introduce her to the bland rice/chicken/pumpkin diet to help settle her stomach. Any advice or experience with this. Thanks, and we will be at the reunions. See you there (whenever they are) Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest denise13 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hi Scott, We haven't had any problems with worms...and I have no experience with dogs who have them, so there I can't help. But Buzz LOVES to eat grass when his stomach is upset and so we have loose poops at least once per week. We've done the boiled rice and extra lean hamburger route a couple of times and it seems to help. I also give Buzz a tablespoon or so of plain nonfat yogurt at every meal. It seemed to help with the stomach issues and the LOVELY greyhound farts, which could clear the house! From a personal standpoint, I wouldn't give Izzi the run of the house for a while. If she gets spooked (the answering machine, a delivery person) you might come home to an unpleasant surprise and might also not be able to get her back in the crate. We had that problem with Buzzy, and he just refused to go back into the crate. So now, we close the doors to the rooms that we don't want him in and he is ok. But it did take a long time, he lived on the track for almost 6 years so he really had some separation issues when we first got him! Good luck!

You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same.

We will go with the crate for he foreseeable future. She can have the run of he house for the other 14 hours of the day.
