What's going on with Shug? TC, I miss Nell and I only met her a couple of days. Unlike The Bird Nell actually liked me. Sat in my lap and farted, kissed, the whole dog deal.
Again, really sorry this had to happen. Even more so that it had to happen while you were away. Whether Nell knew it or not that makes it harder for you.
Tell Shug I'm buying some brave Greyhound dogbones in her honor today and I'll tell my little Greyhound all about him and Nell. At least I will if I can get her to stop playing with her cat long enough to actually pay any attention to me!
He has somehow contracted a couple of forms of parasites...no fleas around, so must be the mosquitos getting him. He was doing much better right before we left for Georgia, but has relapsed, plus the stress with Nell gone is getting to him as well. A trip to the vet is in order today, as is cleaning carpet. I wouldn't be worth much at work today anyhow, so will just take care of work issues from home today while getting everything else taken care of with the emergency vet clinic, telling the ex wife (I regained custody of Nell 6 months or so after we divorced, as she wanted to be back home with her daddy and Shug). The ex is great about helping out with Nell's medical expenses, so I won't have that to worry about. She'll have a good cry too, as she helped raise Nell and talked to me frequently about how she was doing. It's just sad, but this is just part of owning the animals...just have to know they had it made while in my care. Literally part of the family in every way...
Look forward to meeting the Italian version of Shug some day...never met a dog that didn't take a liking to me.
