racindog Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 For those GT'rs that have been around a while you won't want to miss this Sunday the 24th. November 24 was Rocket's birthday. Last year when he crossed over in October, his birthday was changed to "Spoil Your Hound Day." It was just a day to do something with your hounds like a special walk, or get them a special treat like ice cream or fries etc. Rocket would be proud to give other hounds any excuse to have food that was no good for them. Rocket's French Fry Day in April is also National French Fry Day. We love you and your beautiful wife Lexie forever Rocket! Never forgotten.

LaFlaca Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 November 24th is also my Jenny’s birthday! She’ll be 2 years old. I’ll be sure to spoil her extra special in honor of dear Rocket. Quote Irene ~ Owned and Operated by Jenny (Jenny Rocks ~ 11/24/17) ~ JRo, Jenny from the Track Lola (AMF Won't Forget ~ 04/29/15 -07/22/19) - My girl. I'll always love you. Wendy (Lost Footing ~ 12/11/05 - 08/18/17) ~ Forever in our hearts. "I am yours, you are mine". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyRunDog Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Grace and I will be going on a greyhound walk around Wollaton Park in Nottingham on that day with a lot of other greyhounds. I'm sure she could be persuaded to participate in the odd French Fry (chips in the UK ) at the end of it in honour of Rocket.

Remolacha Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 It is only a couple of days after Val's dental and she will be losing a lot of teeth, so the special foods may have to wait, but we will think of something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_the4pack Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 How can I spoil them more when they are already spoiled rotten? Example: does anyone else give ice cream or egg nog (depending on season) every single night? 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...

MerseyGrey Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 So far today Buddy has had the finished cream tub and the gravy from our lunch plates...if this seems a little mean on ‘Spoil your hound day’ it’s because he’s still on a diet from being spoilt too much in the last 18 months. Later I will be adding a little bit of salmon risotto to his tea, possibly delivered in an ice cream cone. We will probably end the day with a little light spooning with ear and tummy scritches on the living room floor. Is this adequate?

racindog Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Octane started the morning with 3 or 4 scrambled eggs, 2 pieces of bacon!, a human sized scoop of fresh fried hash browns, and a dab of pumpkin. He just finished a Buddy Biscuit treat. Tonight he will have one of his favorites: raw beef kidney and raw ground turkey neck. That will be followed by some homemade pumpkin pie with a little milk for a chaser for his midnight snack before bedtime! Octane is a foodie and loves the food but you know though this is still more fun for me I think. It is wonderful to specifically take a day and spoil your hound! Heaven knows they deserve it. Thank you Rocket!!! And HAPPY !!!!!!!BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!! Octane says he loves you Rocket-can't thank you enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
