Lily looking a bit sorry for herself.
She's just got back from the vet having had an op to remove some lumps

Oh bless her little heart - I hope she recovers quickly from the surgery and that nothing untoward is detected xx

I had Cosmo put to sleep on Saturday. She started getting arthritis in her back legs (the alsation in her) about six months ago and went downhill really quickly. Last couple of weeks she was finding walking really difficult and the last week she couldn’t get up on her own.
Friday when I lifted her up to go out she just wasn’t interested, didn’t want to eat (a first in 12 years) and just lay on the floor clearly unhappy. She gave a bit of a bark (another first in 12 years) usually in the middle of the night when she wanted a drink of water or to go outside. Was clearly time which made it easier for me.
I’d contacted a vet who did house visits and she was great, came out on Saturday morning. It was all very peaceful and I buried Cosmo at the bottom of the garden.
So she didn’t suffer a lot, and was telling me what to do to the end. Am concentrating on the nice memories of her, she was sweetie and did well for 15 years.
age 3 when she came to me
Couple of years ago
last yearish

oh, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, what a sweetheart she was, she looks full of love.
A few months ago, when I told the vet that we were going to bury our cat in the garden, he said, that way you know where he is, which I found very comforting.

Thanks all 
She was really independent - I think I've said that when I first got her she'd go upstairs when I was downstairs and then when I went upstairs she'd go downstairs again. Because she'd been pulled around so much by her owners' kids when she was a puppy she hated being fussed, if I stroked her too much she'd give a 'harrumph' and get up and go somewhere else 
That was built into her by the time I got her and it didn't change over the 12 years.
I realized over the last year for both of us really it was just nice knowing that the other one was there in the house. She had her own spot behind the sofa in the sun, so we weren't in each others' company a lot of the time. I notice it most at meal times and walk times, but I'd prepared myself for her going over the last month and particularly the last week.
Sooooooooo - how are all our dogs getting on? We want photos we want photos.

(((Cosmo and two sheds))) but, as requested! At the in laws, she can’t even escape for some peace without being followed...

Doggies came home to find another working sprocker in the house. She used subtle growling warnings over the evening so the interloper knew she was not top dog in this house. No fighting tho.

New hound arrived yesterday Though I got overruled on the name and he's called Blue
He doesn't have a clue about anything - never been in a town, only been in houses briefly and infrequently. He only raced for 6 months & was last on the track in July. He's very unsure of everything - took a while to get him into the house but eventually coaxed him into the front room late last night. Ultimately, greyhounds gotta greyhound, so he's worked out where his beds are and has made full use. I think it'll take a while for him to settle in but he slept from midnight til 7am this morning which is a massive win.
Gradually getting closer...note bum not quite on the floor; ready to dash off at any second...
10 minutes later...
Made it indoors as far as the kitchen...cheese may have played a role...
Resting his muscles in the front room...8 hours after arriving at the house...
Me and my pinhead hound on a wake and bake walk this morning. Was lovely to be up and out at tit o clock in the morning with this doofus.
Big walk this morning and he's been shagged out ever since.
