Mugs

We have their racing names on the mugs.

Memorial mugs

I had another memorial mug made for Kathy.

Stephanie's tags

We put Stephanie's tags on the next hound of the five bronze greyhounds.

Bliss and Bullet in the February snow.

We had a snow free winter up until February started.

Stephanie joins her pal, Glow

We took Stephanie to the same place as Glow and now their remains are together.

Stephanie's last photo

This is Stephanie's last photo before the Vet came to the house. She never moved from this spot.

Stephanie's last day

We can't let her suffer anymore and the leg just will not get any better in spite of all of our efforts. Stephanie is in pain all the time and cannot sleep at night. She cries and her eyes are filled with tears. We decided we had to let her go. Dr. Lou came to the house and we said goodbye to our sweet little girl. It was all very peaceful with the other hounds around. She left us knowing that we loved her and it was our love that couldn't see her continue to suffer. She has been a fighter all of her life and made it through some tough illnesses, but this leg problem has been there all the time.

Stephanie

In this shot you can see how she doesn't put any weight on her bad leg.

Stephanie is not using her leg

We have tried everything to relieve her pain in her bad leg and nothing is working.

Stephanie's x-rays

The x-ray on top is from 8/28/2007 and the bottom one is from 1/14/2013. You can see how the joint has shifted and it was giving her great pain.

Bliss and Bullet will turn 11 years old tomorrow. They still act like puppies though.

Tommy

Tommy doesn't let anything bother him when he wants to nap.

Bliss

Bliss and Bullet don't mind the cold weather. They love to chase each other.

Stephanie

Stephanie in the back yard on a cool day. Her leg especially bothers her on these days.

Doggy dentals today. The Bs went first and are feeling groggy.

Tommy's bells

I had to put some bells on Tommy after he got up and I didn't hear him and he peed on the floor in the middle of the night.

Here's a closeup of the roaching technique.

Tommy the roacher

Bullet tears a web

I found a blood trail on the carpet and found that Bullet had torn a web while running in the back yard.

Tommy

Tommy has been holding his own. He still gets around well for his 12+ years.

Divine Bliss

Our pretty little brindle.

Another mulch pile day

Bliss loves her mulch pile.

Stephanie and Bliss

The only thing I can say about this spot is that it is warm and sunny.

Waiting out a thunderstorm

Tommy doesn't like the booming of the thunder and feels more comfortable in the van in the garage.

Bliss in the mulch

Bliss finds the coolest spot in the yard to take a nap.

I got the picture at an auction for $14. What a deal!!
