I'm so relieved! I'm so glad that you're all home...
It’s going to be tough trying to work out day to day whether she’s deteriorating but she’s been fighting this and It’s not her time yet.
You will know when it's her time and I know that you will do what's right because that's just the type of person you are. One thing you know for definite is she will end her days happy and loved (panda)
Exactly. You will know when it's her time. You have given her so much love she will know that she's surrounded in love.
Paula you've given Polo and Luna a loving home and that's what counts, all I can do is keep you and your pets in my thoughts and send you all my love (panda)
now, finally, to non dog related activities in our week - we’ve got friends coming round for dinner this evening. We haven’t seen them in a while so really looking forward to it :)
Hope you're having a lovely time!!
How did the dinner party go?.....more importantly, how's Luna this morning?
How are Polo and Luna doing and how are you Paula? (panda)
How is everything and everyone at Sparkles Mansion?
We had a lovely evening, I ate too much and drank a little too much so was a bit squiffy ;). I might stay off the scales tomorrow lol. It was so good to see them :)
Polo is pretty much back to normal which is amazing considering where he was this time last week. Luna’s ok, she’s getting upset when Polo goes for a walk without her so I think that’s a good sign
We’re off to see Jurassic World tonight!
Am glad that you had a good time, and that Polo is on the mend, if Luna is upset at him going out then I think that is a good sign aswell
Jurassic world is a good film we saw it at the beginning of the month, am giving nothing away but if you are prone to a few tears there is one point I would have a tissue handy so might be worth taking some, but its worth watching
Prone to tears? Moi??? (giggle)
(rofl) lol hope you enjoy
Enjoy Jurassic World Paula and take a box of tissues in case you get something in your eye ;)
OO no spoilers please! Hope you have had a lovely day! Glad that things went well last night too...
Glad you enjoyed it Paula even if you were bustin' for a pee all the way through (giggle)
OOps! I've done that before now!
Forgive me for posting another pic of my little girl but we took photos today so we could document if she’s putting on weight, and this one really shocked and upset me

Awww bless her! I'm not surprised you're upset lovely (panda)
Is there a food you can give her which promotes weight gain?
Poor love ;(
Jaq's idea of special food might be worth looking in to, I'm no expert in greyhound nutrition so can't really be of much help, I'll send Luna and you a big hug (bear)
Greyhounds have to have a very low protein diet. Having said that, they’re both having chicken and rice as it’s the only thing they’ll eat at the moment.
Didn't realise that was on the verge of suggesting protein supplements thinking they would build her up :( You're doing all you can Paula by the sounds of it. Is Polo doing okay?
It's little and often I suppose... Poor old girl she certainly doesn't look well (bear)(bear) You're doing all you can lovely....
Polo’s good, back to normal really, we just need to keep an eye on his pancreas.
Well done Team Sparkles for 24 hour care for him! How's Luna doing lovely? Still syringe feeding?
Luna’s eating normally, which is a good sign, but she’s panting a lot which is worrying me. I don’t know if she’s stressed or in pain - we’ve had to reduce her tramadol from 5 tablets to 4 a day because of all the weight she’s lost.
Could it be the heat? It's 26 up here at the moment and I know Talia is struggling with it, though the dozy mare keeps wanting to go in the garden!!!
Poor Luna! Is there a different painkiller they could use? I know for Casey it's always been metacam, could something like that help?
She’s got rheumocam (anti inflammatory) as well as tramadol. Tbh, the tramadol is the strongest they can give her at home, apparently, but most importantly she’s been on it for a couple of years so I’m not sure whether it would make things worse for her trying to come off it itms
Probably best to leave Luna's meds as they are, I'm sure as Jaq said the heat could be affecting her as well.
I was wondering if the decrease in meds is causing something akin to withdrawal?
How is she this morning?
How are you? What plans do you have for today?
She is looking a bit brighter today - she even begged me for some of my lunch :)
I’m a bit achy today so am having a quiet one. Jess is in a good mood so that’s helping lol
That's good Paula I hope you gave Luna some of your lunch :)
Glad she's looking brighter and you are having a good time with Jess!
Sorry for having a moan but ...... somehow my Fostair inhaler prescription request wasn’t sent to the GP. It should be here tomorrow but it means I’ve been without it since Thursday evening. I’ve been using my blue reliever inhaler but it’s not the same and my chest is starting to hurt. I’ll get the Fostair tomorrow and I’ll be ok but I’m annoyed this has happened
You are not moaning at all. That's a major item to be missing from your prescription. I'm not surprised that your chest is feeling tight. You poor thing, you have my sympathies. (panda)
