I'm so, so sorry to hear about Bonnie. I'm also sure she'll have the best rest of her life possible.

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that! Poor Bonnie  I really hope that it's the former outcome; that she has a slow decline in health, letting Bonnie live her best life for as long as possible

Don't mind if I do! (I think he gets scared of falling off if his head gets too close to the edge)  Sorry to hear about Bonnie. I don't know if I'll ever be ready if bad news hits.

Every night when I come to bed we have to have a little argument about how she needs to go to her spot (the corner). What a weirdo. https://i.imgur.com/YtMISM1.mp4

I'd pay half of my money to see her dreams. The other half would be to find out what the hell she's cogitating all the time. This dog spends more time thinking than I do.

Well, good news for li'l Tazo! Despite all the expectations/assessments of the vet pointing towards cancer, the lump disappeared overnight, confirming it was benign! I've happily cancelled the appointment, and shared a chicky burg with Taz by way of celebration.

Congrats! That's great news! Abby had her checkup. She's all the way down to 60 pounds (for ref. she's large for a female, off the track she was 50, she peaked at 72). She lost quite a bit of weight after her gastroenteritis, and now she isn't really eating much in the morning. So I'm just going to leave out her morning food all day until she finishes eating it, so I make sure she gets two full bowls each day. Also I've found that in the morning she doesn't always seem to realize the food is in her bowl (maybe part of her cognitive issue) but if I just place it directly on a towel or something she'll eat more of it, and then will continue to eat it throughout the early morning.

do you feed her dry food? putting a little water in the bowl to wet the kibble makes it smell more strongly, and maybe it will attract her attention more

Thanks guys! Although unfortunately for Taz (and me too, let's face it - since I've gotten used to having him around all day) while on leave yesterday I got the call to return to work. Not just WFH, but the office - so this morning is Tazo's first day outside, in months. Ah well, I put his coat on and he's in the carport, so he should be happy enough.

Gello's been very lonely during lockdown since we haven't been able to walk with many of her friends. After getting woken up at 4am for a week straight, we decided to remedy the situation and adopt another greyhound. Guys, say hi to Boudicca.      She's nine years old, super sweet and affectionate with humans and has pretty good house manners. Gello had a week of sulking, but now they get on great, both inside and outside the house. Unfortunately, Boudicca is also a bit of a lemon. The rescue warned us that she had a skin condition that they had treated. When she arrived, we saw this:  Took her to the vet the next day, and you guessed it, skin cancer. They've cut out all the lesions they could and the good news is that it's not going to kill her any time soon. We need to keep an eye and remove lumps before they get to the stage above, but we can cauterise instead of cutting them out. She's also very bossy and dog aggressive on walks, which is a problem if we want to let her off leash. Currently working on recall and 'leave it', which is going... okay. We've also gotten her a muzzle so that she doesn't murderdog a small Yorkie to death. Fun times. It's been a pretty stressful time, but I think we're over the worst of it now. She was a farm dog, so it feels good to show her exciting places like the forest, and hopefully the beach soon!

 Everyone meet Luke aka Bart's Beware! (Luke was his call name, but he doesn't really seem to know it. We might also try Levi or Loki) We just got him home on Saturday. Our rescue wants us to keep him crated all the time unless he's getting a bathroom break or walk, which has been soooo hard so far. He's almost the perfect gentleman, just barking a few times when I leave the house, and he has pretty severe squirrel aggression. Also he's a giant goober about stairs. We walked by the elementary school yesterday and he went up and down two big flights no trouble. Our home's split level, 5 step staircase? Frozen statue.

I think the crating policy is get them used to the crate in your home and give them a chance to observe life in a new place. We can start giving him some more out of crate time tomorrow.

Congrats! I was required to do crating at least part of the time when I got Abby, but my group no longer requires a crate at all. Some greyhounds like them, but some don't. Abby was miserable when I kept her in one when I was gone in the first few weeks. I had setup a webcam and she literally barked and moaned the entire day, it was awful. Does he voluntarily go into the crate? If so I say keep it, otherwise I'd ditch it when/if possible.

He's clever, he only goes in if you toss a treat in first. He's been in there most of the day today with nary a peep so I don't think he minds too much.

We got a great big crate for Spartacus and barely even used it because he hated it. He went in happily once and every time after that it was a chore, even if he was free to come and go. Apparently he much preferred the couch/dog bed/chair/rug/bare wood floor more than the crate

Josie hated hers. As soon as she walked in the house she claimed the easy chair. She’s been a dream since day 1 so I just gave the crate to the rescue.
