June 14th, 2019 Greetings!

Bed fail. You'e all seen it, although on a larger scale. Bruiser climbed into this new bed under my glass coffee table the very day I brought it home. Unfortunately, he hasn't been in it since. I can't resist bringing presents home for these two ungrateful feral cats and then I keep handing them out to friends. If I kept every post, stand, bed, blankie, etc. that I brought home, they would have more furniture in this little house than I do. Greyhounds are sooo much more appreciative! doG I miss those babies.

A Place For Us Greyhounds

Have you seen the auction for this fabulous necklace? This event will END on MONDAY afternoon! If you are not inclined to bid, perhaps you'll consider sending a small contribution directly to A Place For Us to benefit Bailey Rose. There are sooo many lurchers requiring help in this area of Texas that this organization can use all the help they can get- won't you help us help?

Meet Bailey Rose! Only a year or two old, Bailey Rose was abandoned by hunters in a remote rural area. A kind family that lives on a farm there fed her for a month and gave her a warm place to sleep. She was practically feral and APFU provided a crate so Bailey Rose could be captured. We are treating Bailey Rose for "immune mediated thrombocytopenia" which caused a profound and dangerous drop in platelets. Her pre-operative platelet count was 6,000 compared to normal sighthound platelet counts in the 200,000 range. Lurchers are usually of greyhounds mixed with other breeds for hunting. Bailey Rose's DNA show that she is 87.5% Saluki.
