Tabbyking - I think owning a Jujuretriever, and an SUV and clogs makes you have a great dog! (The SUV is just too big for me, but I have no family, and the clogs mean my socks would have to match) But I LOVE retrievers!

Well, I AM whoo whoo loopy! Did anyone ever doubt that?

How about Lunabat?

Fred?

Frid?

Cordy?

Alice?

Pippin?

I'm gender-neutral, by the way, but if I am changing the name of this dog, it will be today, so you guys better throw some cool names out there fast!

I like painters, so names of painters would be cool.

Luna is a great and noble name from Harry Potter!!!! Blanca makes me think of that mouse from The Rescuers.

By the way, thank you to everyone for the encouragement and reassurement. I really am worried about my cats. One of them, in particular, will have a rough time. The others, I think, will be fine.

I'm going to get a doggy gate today. I'm crate training her. She is only 2 months. She has peed almost every time I have taken her outside, but she did go once in the crate in the middle of the night.

You like painters? How about Dali? When your friends hear dolly, you can correct them, "It's Dali."

I have some news which is taking my breath away still some 20 hours later, we lost one of our beautiful Whippet boys this weekend at a lure coursing competition Maxoom won the day, but then broke his neck and died in the final best in field run.
I am filled with such shock and grief that I truly feel I can't bear it.
I will post the link to the whippet board I belong to which explains what happened. Please can someone make this pain stop, I'm begging for some relief from the guilt the anger and the pain that is crushing me and I don't know what to do.

Its with a very heavy heart that I write this post. As everyone knows, this weekend was the Saskatchewan Sighthound Assoc. Lure Coursing meet and also a WW member get together. Our own members, Dahli, Coolquay whippets,Irishmarked,Lynallan Whippets and myself all met and had a blast coursing and visiting all weekend.
I left the field today right after the scores were posted, happy beyond belief that our own Dahli's newly certified boy, Maxoom had won the whole day and went BOB, and was about to go BIF. I had a 6 hours drive, so I congratulated them and went on my way. Not 30 minutes later my cell phone rang with the god awful news that Maxoom had taken a terrible fall in the BIF run and it was very serious. Maxoom (they believe) broke his neck, he didn't make it and died on the way to Saskatoon.
His heart was strong and beating but he couldn't get his breath CPR and massage kept him going for a short while but they couldn' t get him to the hospital in time and he passed away.

A very tragic end to an amazing but far too short lure coursing career. I can't imagine the pain and grief that Max's family(Dahli) are feeling at this time. And Max's brother Jackson, who also belongs to Dahli is looking for him everywhere.

PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE put Dahli , her husband and Jackson into your thoughts and prayers. They really need the support during this awful time.
.

I'm attaching a picture of Max (in the tan coat), Jackson(in the plaid coat) and their Dad (in the red plaid coat) earlier in the day.



Godspeed Sweet Maxoom, you were loved and cherished by all who knew you and you'll be missed every day.

Dahli, I am so sorry. I am sitting here trying to think of the right words, and there are none. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. As every pet lover knows, losing one is beyond painful. Please don't beat yourself up. {{{DAHLI}}}

Oh my gosh I am in tears. I don't know what to say, but the tears are streaming down. I wish I could give you a hug. I know the pain of losing your beloved and your story is bringing it all back. I am so sorry this has happened and wish I could help make the heartache less severe. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dahli, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss... I don't really know what to say to alleviate the pain - there isn't anything. I'm just so sorry.
