Kestrel Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 What a beautiful boy. Looks like he is settling in well. With lots of love and a bit of time, I'm sure he'll really blossom. Thanks for giving him a second chance!

Brandiandwe Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) DH has gone to work so we've had a quick pee (Benny is a little constipated), and we've come back to bed. Brandi is in Bennys bed, and Benny has snuggled in with me. We'll have another 20 minutes or so before getting up. His nose is wedged under my arm and there are a lot of contented wuffles. Photo later! Edited June 1, 2014 by Brandiandwe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandiandwe Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 In bed this morning. Right now, he's in my office lying on the floor. His nails have been trimmed and he's finally able to have a rest after a long walk, poop, no breakfast (tried, failed, will keep trying), long car trip then a ride in a lift, lots of attention from people and a trip to the vets for the nails. That's a lot for only 10.30! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greysmom Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 He's adorable! Probably OK with staying home since he's been in a home before, but you never know. His tum is probably upset from everything too. Maybe an acid reducer and/or a probiotic, and kibble for now until you can get him a dental. So you've gone from one to four in the space of a year or so. I think you're a greyhound addict!
