There will be no greyhound corpse on our table, no turkey corpse and no pig corpse. And I want Baby Sky to grow up in a home where there is just as much respect for chickens and calves and fishes as there is for greyhounds and cats and people. Of course, the world outside of our home tells a different story.

First let me say that there is no recall of Vetsulin (often used to manage the diabetes of dogs and cats) as of today. That if you have a diabetic dog or cat and you use Vetsulin, you have to be diligent. It was also great for most cats. Some cat owners went to Vetsulin. Tags: Current Affairs Greyhound Matters.

mikey, my stance can be seen in the posts about Project Treadstone (and if you type Project Treadstone into the Google Search box just below my half-blind, diabetic greyhound, Violet Rays, on the right, you'll get a dozen more posts). How contradictory is that? So mikey, I agree with you in theory. Hence, it's a Gray Matter.)

And I received confirmation of something I've known since 2004, when we adopted retired racing greyhound, Violet Rays: That there's sort of a critical period for dog-behavior acquisition, and if it's missed, the dog isn't likely to mature into the type of loving being whose behavior we've come to associate with "pet" dogs. And he details why.

Now I have the drama of the feral cats and of course the greyhounds. Creatures have come in phases for me: the duck phase, the cat phase, the dog phase, the bear phase (I was living in Vermont--it was unavoidable), the Canada goose phase. There's never a shortage of creatures who need our help.

I somehow became the non-vet, go-to person regarding dogs and diabetes, I suppose due to my frequent blogging about Violet Rays (left), my greyhound who has been through diabetes, blindness (then cataract replacement), glaucoma and retina detachment. My experience, because I test frequently, was relatively uneventful.
