Saturday was a bad Delilah walk day, it was as bad as Defeated and Lost, Parts One and Two.

Yup.  It was that bad.

I plan on talking about the walk portion of the day tomorrow.

Today I want to tell you about Saturday night.

Hubby and I had dinner plans with my cousin.  We planned to meet at six o’clock, which meant more than likely we’d be back after their scheduled 7 o’clock dinner time.  No big deal, maybe they’d let Hubby sleep in a little later yesterday morning.

When all was said and done, it was about 8:30 by the time we got home.

I headed straight to the kitchen because Delilah was losing her mind.

I heard Hubby say, “Oops, I must have left my lunch stuff out.”

Under the Weather

By

Friday when I took the dogs for a walk I noticed Sampson has been licking at his paw again. 🙁

Licker He had licked it so much, I was afraid another day or two of licking and it would be bleeding.

Unfortunately his appointment with the Holistic Vet is not until the 12th of April, so I decided to wrap it.

I went into the medicine box and lo and behold I found a bottle of Vetericyn VF for wound and skin care.  The directions say to apply three to four times per day, you can use either with or without wrapping.

I opted to wrap it, to keep him from licking it off.

BooBoo He doesn’t care for it at all, but it keeps him from licking it.

I’ve watched him closely both in the house and on our walks.  He is not favoring his paw, he’s not limping or complaining about it.  In fact he is running and jumping as he always has.

I’m not sure exactly what is going on with it, whether it hurts and he’s very good at hiding his discomfort, or if he’s licking out of habit.  But until we know, I’ll be keeping a sharp eye (and a bandage) on it.

We also found out our friend Cali from The Daily Dog Blog is feeling under the weather.  If you have a minute stop by and show her Mama Julie so love.  She’s really worried about Cali.

Feel better soon Cali!  We love you!!

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Today we send a Heart Like a Dog virtual hug to our dear friends Steve and Bonnie.

Their dog Cody (a.k.a. Codeman) went over the bridge on Wednesday.

Steve and Bonnie are my daughter Lisa’s in-laws.  Really great people, about six or seven years ago, they adopted Cody, a retired greyhound.  If memory serves he was three or four years old at the time.

Shortly after adopting Cody they retired to Emerald Isle, North Carolina a beautiful small town on the outer banks.

100_1004 Not Cody, but sadly I had no photos of him.

Cody was a very amiable dog from what I knew of him.  Chilled and laid back, until it came time for walks.  Cody loved his walks and Steve was always happy to oblige him.  Many the hour was spent walking the beautiful North Carolina shore.

Being a retired Greyhound Cody loved to run.  I remember a story Steve told of thinking it was safe to let Cody off-leash one morning and how Steve had to rush back to the house to get the car so he could travel to the next development to find Cody.

We know Steve and Bonnie’s hearts are heavy today and we wanted them to know that our hearts share their sorrow.

Run fast, run free sweet boy.
