  • Facebook Post: Happy Late Birthday Leona and Lady

    I missed two birthdays a few days ago! Lady and Leona turned three on the 16th. Guess I will have to give them their birthday treats when I get home.

    Great day today [sarcasm] spent all day running errands to get things taken care of before I go out of town. Had to go pick up rental. First car I got out of the rental lot, got up to 40 MPH and the backend of it sounded like it was going to fall out. Nope, not happening. Turned around went back into the rental car lot and got second car. Got an upgrade out of it. But what a waste of time. We had taken all the dogs with us for the ride, Peanut barfed all over Jesse’s head on the way and then got Ranger with the rest (in my car, not the rental). Let’s see what else? Oh, not much for now. I am sure there will be something else.

    Ms. Peanut had a vet appointment today to have her on and off again limp checked. You know us with Greyhounds, we can never ignore a limp. It appears my little athlete seems to have pulled a muscle on the inside of her left hip. It appears that since we have moved down South she has been way more active than she has been since she hurt herself up North and she has pulled something. Radiographs taken and everything looks A-OK on the bones and joints, she may have a tiny bit of arthritis starting on the right side but it is nothing to worry about. So the poor baby is on some Rimadyl and just to be safe an antibiotic in case there is an infection. Of course she is being a bit of a drama queen. Wonder where she learned that?

    I was also very happy as she is maintaining her girlish figure at 48.6 pounds and the vet asked me how long has she been off the track because her muscle structure is still wonderful.

    This is nice… all 5 dogs are roaching…. Even Mindy???? My Ms. perfect roaches???? NO can’t be. The world is going to end!

  • Facebook Post: 2014-01-05 Good Morning

    Good morning all! It is 68 degrees and nice and sunny outside according to the backyard weather thingy. Mindy was buzzed by a bee as she was contemplating leaving the patio to go take care of business this morning so she decided to hold it. Poor girl. And Ranger took the rest of the girls for a run and they all did laps, including Peanut who is really starting to think that Ranger ears may be a tasty snack 🙂

    LEONA! Leave the damn cat alone!

    Oh, I forgot to post on how my 2 sick doggies are doing this AM. Ranger is fine, the sore is really healing nicely. I am going to leave him on antibiotics through the day and then off he comes. I think it is time to start letting it heal on it’s own without the ointments we have been using. Peanut wasn’t limping as bad this morning and I think I found a knot in the muscle on the inside of her left thigh. She may have just pulled something racing around the yard like an idiot or on one of her “let’s dig to China” missions.

    There is one black dog in my house that is NOT impressed with me this evening! Someone really, really, needed a bath! And she was not happy. And it was NOT Lady! I have never seen so much fur come off of a dog. My whole shower was black fur lined.

  • Peanuts Florida Thoughts

    Have to say that the sand of Florida is meeting with Peanut’s approval. See, up until recently none of the others in my pack have been wanting to play with her. They knew she had been hurt, they knew I was pretty upset about it, and they have basically spent the last 2 years protecting her. I know it has been sort of pissing her off as she has tried everything to get Mindy to “rumble” with her.

    Well, over the last month there has been a change. They have started to play together again. This morning I had to laugh, Peanut went out the door with the others following her. They all went to lay down and that isn’t what Peanut wanted. She went to the far corner of the yard and started barking at nothing. Once that got everyone into the same corner as she was in she turned around and started digging in the sand and flung dirt up at Ranger. Well, that just annoyed him and the chase was on. Well, poor guy, he didn’t stand a chance with the four girls.

    They chased his butt around the yard and finally Peanut went after his ears. He ran back up to the patio and the 90 pounds of Ranger goofball hid behind my legs from the little 47 pound Peanut. She was so happy and her tail was a going a mile a minute. The pack played with her.
