This is my darling 83-pound red fawn greyhound, Charles Hobson Booger, III who has been lame for about a year. He has taken to ripping up any paper in sight and lunging at every dog except his greyhound friends on our walks. But he can walk in a lagoon or in a calm ocean, in chest-deep water, says Dr. Newest Vet. Viva la Emme!

But I frankly never thought of not helping individual cats and dogs (through adoption) as an option for me. Tags: Activism Current Affairs Ethics Greyhound Matters Language. Do you agree with that?

Then there's her hideous gum disease that has left her few remaining teeth in bad shape but without much to do for them (the vets won't touch them).
