Watching, that's good news!! If she throws up it could be due to vertigo, maybe. We used to add rice when our dogs seemed to have upset stomachs (probably a different thing, but worth a try) because the rice was easier to digest. With older dogs I'd give them rice with their canned food every day (I've had one who reached 14.5, another was 15 and a third 15.5, all labs. And of course sometimes the just eat grass and throw up for no particular reason, too. I hope you can see her perk up even more in time. Jasper, she's looking very GOOD!! Nice floors too.

Uh, I think SHE is cute. Petco has little witch hats and other Halloween stuff for dogs, I guess.

How cute is Lola?!!!!!!! WAY CUTE!!! Hahaha.. I remember when I used to dress up my cats when I as a kid. They'd walk on their tummies just about and look at you like you were evil. LOL Kellie update! She continues to improve!!! She's not quite up to where she was yet, but she's doing really well, all considered. I can't believe how worried I was about everything and how fast she seems to be recovering. It makes me think of a TIA (mini stroke) although the symptoms lasted longer. Anyway, I'm so relieved!

Update ~ Greyhound Blue passed away in peace in June, aged 11. We adopted another Grey we named Mickey a few days ago. He was retired from the track and then used in lure coursing, ugh.. He arrived with a small female and a 1 yr old male who has a broken hock.. The girl found a home so easily while our Mickey languished unwanted in a foster home all summer. His age (6 in May) and his history made him doubly unadoptable to most folks who don't understand "high prey" behavior. There is no cure. Once a hound is conditioned to excel with his natural instincts & speed, and the owners praise him, there's no turning back the clock. In Mickey's case, his owners were too blind to see they created a killing machine. They kept him outdoors 90% of time bulking him up with the energy foods. After they retired him from lure course circuit, they hoped for a nice mellow pet. I can only say, get real! After he killed 7 of their cats they decided he wasn't their cuppa tea anymore.. Mickey detests ankle biter size dogs and cats in particular. He's got a great mellow personality otherwise. Mickey is a big snow white male with faintly brindle tan ears, he's smaller than the usual big old Greys we adopt but he is very 78lb compact and holds his own. He's a joy to have in our family! My adoptimg Mickey opens the door to his old pal with the broken leg being taken in. House is also fostering 1 of 7 Greyhounds brought from New Orleans.

Rivere - That just breaks my heart! The way people treat those dogs should be criminal. I'm glad Mickey found a home with you and I'm so sorry to hear of your loss of Greyhound Blue. I really admire people like you who adopt those beautiful dogs.

Rivere, I'm so sorry about Greyhound Blue. You do such wonderful work and I know how very passionate you are about the Greyhounds. Your patience is a gift to this breed. I have wondered how you've been doing. {{{{Rivere}}}}

Riviere, I am glad Mickey found a good home with you. It infuriates me how irresponsible and cruel some dog owners are. People should have to get a licence to own an animal, pet or otherwise!

Blue Riviere: I'm sure Mickey is thrilled to have a loving family to call his own. And I hope his old pal is just as lucky in finding a home soon. I really wish there were stronger penalties for people who abuse animals.

Thank you so much for your kind words, and to remember dear old beta Blue and welcome Mickey. I'm sure Blue wouldn't mind a bit his old dishes and leash and fine winter coat can help another Greyhound boy around here.
Please keep your fingers crossed for all the displaced pets of the hurricane. My heart aches for the family from NewO who fled in vans with 4 children and 7 Greyhounds. They lost everything else they had. Say they'll never go back. Got a job offer in Dallas but can only take 3 of their Greyhounds, must choose which to adopt away.. I know that's tough, but they should kep the pets they've had longest and the younger ones always have a better chance being adopted.. The gulf coast disaster is hardest on those with beloved pets who were left behind and lost. But to have to make a decision of which pets you saved only to have to leave some behind again, a la Sophie's Choice, is depressing. We'll do anything we can to foster displaced Greyhounds and reunite them with their owners eventually.

http://tinyurl.com/97p2f These guys are doing a great job...god bless them! I know everyone donates for the humans but don't forget these pets. I tear up every time I watch on the news. These guys don't understand why they have been abandoned...

With what money our family could send, we sent it to the Humane Society for disaster relief for the pets. They are doing an awesome job!
