Gordon
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Dear All, I thought that I would just post a note to warn people who walk their dogs in the far end of Cannon Hil Park and in Holders Lane Wood. On Saturday at about 16:15, I was out walking with Gordon. We walked along the west side the river. We crossed the river at the bridge that is halfway between Kitchener Road and First Avenue. Going up the bank on the far side we met a lady with her dog. We stopped to chat, the dogs were relaxed, and the lady was stroking Gordon's head. Then suddenly, a fierce Weimaraner came bounding through the path from the next field. He was not on a lead. He barked at Gordon, and then ran round behind Gordon, and bit his rear. Fortunately, Gordon was wearing his greyhound coat to keep out the cold, and the Weimaraner's teeth just slid off! There was no damage to Gordon, or the coat. I'm really thankful that when I adopted Gordon that I bought proper greyhound coats from Daybreaks. They completely cover his rear. I feel that we have had a close call. We have seen that angry Weimaraner a couple of times before, but never at such close quarters. As his owner pulled him away all she said 'They don't get on', as if that was all that needed to be said. I can't believe that on 10th December I will have had Gordon six months. Ted.

Louis

Louis has been fine so far today. We had a dog a few years ago, also called Kate, who when she was an old girl, used to have seizures all the time, so luckily we are used to spotting them and dealing with them. Hopefully, it may have just been a one off !!

Thanks Jill. We did ask the vet about taping her toes or a bandage, but because it's her outside toe on her front paw, and she is being very sensible and walking with her foot tilted slightly inward, her bad toe isn't making any contact with the floor, so he reckons she probably won't need it. He said it should take about 6-8 weeks to fully mend. X.

My girl, Shauna, broke her toe in 4 places a couple of years ago, no idea how she did it, but with some supportive dressings, pain killers and rest it healed well. Hope your girl recovers soon. Jill x

Thanks Kate. The vet thinks her toe is fractured, we haven't a clue how she did it. She is on Metacam and Tramadol, and rest and no walks. lf there is no improvement in 2 weeks, she has to go back for an X-ray. Fingers crossed that she improves, but hopefully the pain killers will help. X.

Kylie also loves her walks. She was actually trying to get me to chase her tonight when I came in from work as she knew it was nearly walk time. Lucy who also loves her walk then came trotting in and let Kylie know she was more than happy to play with her if I wouldn't chase and barked to let her know and they both went off. I caught up just in time to see Ben also considering adding to the fun. At this point it was all calmed down with cuddles before all got our of hand! It's lIke having 3 puppies about - even if they are 7, 8 and 9!!
