Nine years ago today I got a call that my application had been approved & I could come pick out my greyhound. 10 days before that I had just lost Sadie-Grey & my whole world just collapsed, you all know the feeling.
I had delivered my application to MidSouth Greyhound Adoption Option the night before & gotten to meet alot of the doggies up for adoption. I had really wanted a red brindle like Sadie, but I think I would take anyone.
So I got off work at 11:00 on that Friday 4/21/99 and I went by & picked up my little dog Bones. We wanted to make sure whom ever came home was small dog safe.
As I walked through the kennel area, I noticed the only one awake was this tiny fawn female laying in the back of her crate. She was what they call a "true fawn". She had these huge huge brown eyes & they watched me walk from one end to the other....I was asking about each one...that's a male, that one's not ready, that one's real rowdy, that was isn't safe. I said Well which one is safe & which one is ready....and what about that one right there that keeps watching me?
So Sandy gets her out...Well she's ready to go, she's recovered from a broken hock...but she'll be okay. This is Snowy.
She came bounding up to me & nearly knocked me off my feet! Okay okay...you can go with me!
She walked in, pretended to know everything about living in a home & we've been together since. She's NEVER caused me any problems. I love her lots.
Here's some pictures of her over the years....9 of them to be exact.







And then one taken today

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY SNOWY!!

Well she's pulling a Softee on me, she started limping/dragging her bad leg last night. I told Beryl about it & she recommended rest & rimadyl, so I emailed my friend Cynde. She has both rimadyl & tramadol left over from her grey, Mr. Threat having bone cancer...she's going to bring me some rimadyl tonight.
I kept Snowy crated today. I told her this morning, just before she jumped on the futon this is not the time...I cannot do this bridge thing right now.
I told Beryl, if Snowy wasn't eating, or if she was pooping in her crate, or if she wasn't jumping on the furniture, then I'd say lets start for the bridge...but she's acting like its nothing. So I'm hoping its just a sprain or we are having bad weather, maybe its arthritus bothering her.
She was perfectly fine when I got home yesterday, I think someone must've bumped her outside because when they came in, she was limping.
I will keep ya'll posted.

Hope she is doing better for you Hilda - Softee seems to be much better

Cynde brought me some Rimadyl last night up to Chili's...we meet there & eat dinner on Tuesdays, her husband works there. Anyway I got home & I immediately gave Snowy a rimadyl, they were chewable so she enjoyed that.
She slept all night long & this morning, she was walking normal & even jumped on the futon.
Now if they just made it in human form, my shoulder hurts from doing yard work.
My vet has filled me a prescription so I can have some handy for incidences like this.

greyt but be careful with them and give with food.

Happy Happy Gotcha' Day you Gorgeous Girl!!!!! You are so special to your Mom and everyone here - let's make it another nine, ok?

Happy Gotcha Day Sweetie!!!
You're a very special girl!!
