Why would a dog want to get in the shower?

07/03/2019

A bit hard to see in the poor light but just slid off the couch in his sleep. Didn't wake up but kept sleeping on the floor for a while before picking himself up and climbing back onto the couch.

Need a coat tonight. Chilly.

got through his first night with flying colours. After our morning stroll I was out working for five hours today. . My neighbour reported Astro cried a little bit but not too loud.

He does love this front door.

Night 1 and it's paws on my leg as Astro sits next to me on the couch watching TV. Settling in nicely! Wish me luck leaving him on his own tomorrow.

Yes, he's definitely a greyhound. Quick sniff around the house and now lazing around and making himself at home.

So nice to meet Zen the black greyhound in the street today.

It's going to be 45 (113) degrees tomorrow. "I wonder how Jake will cope", I thought. And then I remembered.

Such a lovely card from Sandy, The Visiting Vet. Made my day!

15/01/2019

Thankyou again for the lovely things you've all said about the late Jake The Greyhound who died peacefully at home on Saturday, on the couch. Still getting used to not having him around but you have all helped me more than you will know. I'm putting my GoFundMe out there one final time as I just paid one final vet's bill. Hope I don't seem greedy. I'm already so grateful.

Best wishes.

In financial difficulty and my beautiful greyhound Jake has a cancerous growth on his leg. Will probably have to be amputated. The goal amount shown here represents our vet bills so far (a biopsy being the major expense) plus $1,000 estimate for surgery. Read our story here...

Thank you all for your lovely messages about Jake. xx

We lost Jake this morning. The poor boy was just in too much pain in the end and we had to let him go. It all happened so fast.

Jake was only with us for around 18 months but during that time he has been the best companion we could have hoped for. He recently turned five years old. Jake was taken too soon and will be sorely missed.

Thanks to all who followed Jake's page and to everyone who showed such incredible support for my GoFundMe campaign to help with his vet bills.

RIP Jake aka Dream of Fame 15/12/2013 - 12/1/2019. This is Jake's last picture, taken last night.
