They're great looking dogs. My last one was a golden/lab cross. Sweet and obedient. How old?

We get a significant discount in exchange for bringing them our business. I'm sure Greyhound Rescue has the same arrangement with an orthopedic specialist.

I worked with an adoption group in Nashville (where our hounds came from) then later another in Knoxville. The Nashville group averaged about 100 placements a year on around a $100K annual budget. They could afford to do several special needs hounds every year. The special needs hounds included ten to twelve injured dogs like Pops and a lot of older hounds like brood bitches. They didn't even charge an adoption fee for special needs hounds to previous adopters. They also picked up the vet tab for the first year for the older hounds.

The Knoxville group averaged the same 100 or so placements a year, but they did it on a $25K annual budget. We didn't do a lot of special needs hounds in Knoxville...

We have a new baby boy.

Colt Bravo or just Bravo is a 2-1/2 ex racer. He didn't race much because he is kind of shy. We are expecting some thunderstorms this evening so I guess we get to find out if he is thunderphobic...

I like the Seresto collar. I use those myself. It's about that time of year...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

There are people in our rescue who swear by this, Pap.

I've never had to use it. One of mine just tries to get very close during a thunderstorm and the other couldn't care less. But there are Goldens who go nuts during T-storms and these have worked.

We already bought him one but haven't needed it yet. Noises make him so nervous we thought it would be a good idea.
