pastor of muppets posted:We ran into another greyhound on our walk yesterday, which turned into two, which turned into an impromptu meetup in a neighbor’s backyard Man this looks so fun! I can see them all doing the leg shuffle at the same time when playing. My wife has been bringing Ella to her work more and more and she's settling in there now with a routine of either sleeping:  ...walking to all the co-workers (who love her) and getting cuddles, playing with the other dog that's often there (they became instant best friends which was a huge relief) or doing this: https://imgur.com/mxanoTT She just goes round and round in slow motion letting the leaves "pet" her. No interest in eating them so we don't have to worry about it probably being toxic. Whenever my wife can't find her she's always by the plant, doing the same thing. I think we should buy her a similar plant for home.

Huh yeah that's interesting - Tazo does it sometimes too, under the large tiger grass outside. I figured it would just be a nice rubbing/tingly sensation, but I didn't know it was such a unique, yet well known thing!

Watson actively seeks out plants to rub up on, including thorns like roses.

actionjackson posted:Bailey is just finishing up her grooming appointment. I did self washes with Abby but wanted to give this a try. Sounds like she did really well! I do think she's a bit anxious, but I had also halved her trazadone to see how she did and might have been a bit early. in the last few days when I open the door, instead of going into the hallway with me, she diverts into her crate. I will just give her her space in there, as someone told me to avoid any unnecessary interaction when they are crated. basically respect their space

I did notice a kind of cream colored, opaque discharge coming from her vagina - not actually leaking, but just protruding a bit, so I will call the vet tomorrow. It kind of looked like what she had when she had the inflammation prior to her episioplasty, but unlike then, she doesn't seem to be licking the area, and it doesn't have the black discoloration, at least.

Katie gets anxious and super annoying from this awful dewormer she still has to take (hopefully her sample I dropped off Friday finally comes back negative) so I figured it might be a good day to try out this ostrich bone I got her: She was happily occupied with that for an hour until I took it away. It didn’t really come with instructions but I figured it’s not really best to do one marathon session, right? I saw on the tag it claims to be 3000+ calories(!) but I don’t know exactly what they’re counting.

Probably marrow mostly And yeah I wouldn't let them go constantly at it, a nice long session then a break for another day is a good strategy

I have since learned that the ostrich bone itself is safely edible, which explains the calorie count. I thought they just gnawed on it to get some scraps off. She got another hour with it today before stopping on her own, but she looked longingly after it when I put it away. And her hookworm test finally came back negative!!

Radiation Cow posted:TODD TONGUE. Is he distressed by the seizures at all? Here's the general progression
Only once during these have I heard him whine or sound scared. I think he can tell they're coming and doesn't like them, but I think his subjective experience is probably a blackout followed by feeling like he just ran a marathon. We've forestalled some by stuffing his face with food, because most seizures happen while asleep or relaxed and getting him to focus on something can stop it. He's still blind but is still very interested in food

That sounds devastating to see, but I guess it's a good thing that he's not too fussed about it. Are you guys getting used to these as well? Boudicca has developed a serious limp over the past two or three days, and it's on the leg that also has a lump, which has been there for a couple of months. Taking her to the vet on Monday, which means that I'm going to spend the entire weekend convinced she's going to die. (She probably just pulled a muscle sprinting after a hadeda).

To save everyone else time, this is a hadeda  Lots of  in the thread right now. Katie and I are going to a giant play date in an indoor horse arena today (it’s my adoption group’s tenth anniversary). Hope to get some good pics.

Greyhound play date! I didn’t manage to snap any exciting action shots (my phone’s focus got weird until I rebooted). Here is maybe 2/3 of the pack: The most amazing thing about a bunch of greyhounds is how quiet they are. The building was very echoey but most of the time it was nearly silent. I’ve noticed that at these types of meetups Katie will zoom around with the others for a few minutes, then spend the rest of the time shadowing me or shamelessly walking up for pets from anyone she can. Occasionally if a group takes off running she’ll join in, but mostly she’ll ignore the other dogs. ”You can stop petting that other dog now and get back to me”  ”nice boy”  ”nice girl”  ”nice lady”  ”nice other girl”  Somebody brought a 7 month old that was too smol to run around with the others (the lady on the right had just spotted the pup). They would walk around the outside and the other dogs would stop for pets and to say hello. Katie, of course, boldly led the charge for getting pets  ”ok we can go now”  I spotted this handsome devil named Liam with a really striking coat color   Today we went to a “barks + brunch” event outside. There was a fair amount of people, dogs, and noise from food truck generators but she handled it very well! I don’t think she would have done that well earlier on.

So many long dogs! It's adorable that Katie is so much more focused on people. In Boudicca news, she's all clear. Vet says that she's in great condition for her age and that the limp is due to arthritis and age. So we're to give her more anti-inflammatories and start on CBD oil for the pain. We're going to speak to her physio tomorrow about more pain management options and making sure that she keeps her mobility for as long as possible. E: Some photos of the suffering girl

we had a contractor over, Bailey had not met them before. I kept her in her crate, but before they left i opened the door and used a treat to get her out a bit. she grabbed it and went right back in! after they left i took her for a walk, but right after she just chewed on the wall by her bed (i couldn't hear it because i had music on). she's done this once before when she is really anxious. thankfully it's easy to repair and i'm having it repainted anyway. but im wondering in the future about using a bit of that apple spray on that bit of the wall. but more generally, if someone new comes over, I'm thinking i should crate her for a while after they leave, not just while they are here.

If possible toss treats into her crate while a new person is there. She'll associate new people with good things. Work up to having the crate be open and letting her come out if she chooses. Reward her bigly if she comes out on her own.
