Lara in the pen with Luca and Jilly

Laura

Linda, the one who runs Greyhound Adoptions of Ohio, is out of town for the weekend. As the rescue's kennel is full right now, it is difficult for other volunteers to handle all the turnouts. To make things easier a number of volunteers are fostering dogs for the weekend. We have the pleasure of fostering a beautiful two year old brindle named Laura. She has a great disposition and not a shy bone in her body. She is going to make someone a wonderful pet. There will be pictures posted later.

Stone Meadow Farm

We just returned from an eleven day vacation in Florida. Of course the dogs had to be boarded and we chose a place in Atwater called Stone Meadow Farm. They only take in about five dogs at a time and there are no cages. The dogs are free to roam the house and be part of the family. They provide lots of beds of all types and sizes to give your dog plenty of options for lounging and lots of toys to keep them occupied. They have large fenced-in outdoor "meadows" for the dogs to run and play. They take pictures and videos which are provided to you online when you pick up your dog. Our dogs received lots of attention and seemed quite comfortable. I expect they will be excited next time we take them there just as they are when we pull in at the dog park. We were very happy with the care and attention given to our dogs during the stay and would highly recomend Stone Meadow Farm if you have a well behaved dog in need of boarding. www.stonemeadowfarm.com

Jill is making a wonderful recovery. She will be out of her splint in another week or two. Her x-rays were reviewed by an orthapedic surgeon at O.S.U. (Dr. Dyce) and he doesn't feel anything else will be necassary.

What a year...

This has been one crappy year. Thursday night Jilly broke her leg running at the dog park. She's okay, but will be in a splint indefinately now. She's been miserable. She has to be carried up and down the stairs. These poor dogs can't seem to catch a break.

Jill's Surgery

Our two and a half year old female, Jilly, had surgery the other day. She had a growth that needed to be removed and tested as it could be cancerous. Everything went well and she got her dental done at the same time. We won't have the biopsy results for a couple days yet, but the vet says it looks like it probably is not cancerous after all.
