You win the "detective-of-the-year" award! No kidding. Thanks for all of the info you provide. I have always tried to get by with no pills/herbs/supplements of any kind (other than vitamin D) just for this very reason.

Old dogs.....sigh. Aren't they wonderful? Mine will be 13 next mo. and still has his super golden spirit. Doing well enough on Rimadyl and Cosequin (glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate) to be able to swim in the stream several times a week!

Pat - so happy to hear the encouraging news. :grin:

Love,

Polly
Why thanks...I'm very glad to be able to help find these things out and try to pay you all back for all the love and support you have given us....


Old dogs are not a good subject for us this week, we just lost our 12 year old greyhound suddenly Sunday. :cry: For the first time in over 20 years, there isn't a greyhound residing in our house...With losing our 16 year old whippet 8 months ago, that is just to much of a hole in my soul to bear....

Hugs,

Aw Carrie,

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. This year was already sad enough, without that happening. I hope that with time, the rest of your four-legged family will help you to get past the pain.

Big hugs,
Tex

Carrie,

My condolences to you on your loss. I'm so sorry that you are mourning two members of your family - one loss is hard enough; two must be unbearable.

Thanks everyone...Chase will live on in our memories, so he will never be far from us...

We have never lost 2 old pets in this close of a time frame. Not something I care to ever repeat.

Hugs,

Oh Carrie,

I am so sad for you. Losing a dog has always been one of life's biggest heartbreaks for me. Two in such a short time is devastating.....I can't begin to imagine. If you feel like it, I'd love to see photos of them - or let me know if they are already posted here somewhere.

Love,

Polly

Polly,

I'm guessing that this is a picture of Chase, (on the left), relaxing with Keaton, in the second post of this thread:

Thanks so much for the kind thoughts....

I guess I should be thankful for one thing. My niece is a photographer and come out 6 days before we lost him to take come shots of the dogs and horses for me. Here is one of them, he is the big guy laying down in the front, then Bourre ( the black Catahoula ), and the whippets Keaton and Rioghan are beside me...I will cherish this photo now...

Carrie,

Nothing silences a home quite like the loss of one of our beloved 4 paws. :sad:

Maybe you will catch a fleeting glimpse of him running in the yard just like in days of old.
(Your Imagination playing tricks? Maybe … Maybe not).

They never really leave us --- they remain in our hearts forever.

Your beloved Greyhound is free to chase varmits again – only now in a place without barriers.

:animalchase:

Condolences,

Gayle
