Some sites I looked up said perfectly fine to use a kids sunscreen and others said definately not if she will lick it,which she will.

My mostly white greyhound is a sun worshipper.Loves laying in the sun no matter how hot it is.She is quite bald around her belly,inside legs,butt and her ears.When I first got her last summer I went and got her some doggy sunscreen but the one I bought(vetbasix SPF 15)is so thick that it's almost impossible to spread.It ends up in blobs and does not have good coverage.Her ears,belly and butt are covered in freckles and I'm worried about skin cancers.Does anyone use or know of a doggy sunscreen that is easier to rub in?

Yep we have the same open door policy here,but my two greys think it's great to relive their "not so glory"days by turning the backyard into a race track and bringing mud and grass into the house*sigh*.

A friend of mine had a little terrier cross that passed two weeks after his 20th birthday!Never had a sick day in his life and was still guarding the electricians truck up until a few days before he died.He just passed away in his sleep.RIP Max.

Thanks for posting that Sam Man.Love my greys.

Michael Jones is at Erina Heights Vet Hosp,has been for 32 years.Bruce Krum who used to be at EH has just started up in the last few weeks at Kanwal.I don't know the other vet he is partners with,don't even know the name of the surgery but that is where Bruce is now apparantly!Neither Michael or Bruce would ever tell you that you were overreacting I promise you that!I'm sorry you had a bad experience with the vet you spoke to but if you live up Kanwal way find out where Bruce Krum is and you will find one of the most wonderful,caring and knowledgable man you could ever wish for.

Yep I think he's at Wyoming(great vet but don't know about top vet ;) )Hugh Bain is great at Bateau Bay,Bill Wright at Point Clare,Katrina Woods at Killarny Vale the list goes on,all good vets.I used to manage a boarding kennel so I know a lot of them.Still think Micheal Jones is the ducks guts.Just my opinion.

Bruce is no longer there he is up at Kanwal. Oh no!!!!!!!!!! We love Bruce! Kanwal will be too far for us to go Michael is a great Vet, but we loved Bruce, with his history with Bulldogs, he was the reason we went there in the first place. I know sad when I found out he'd gone to Kanwal.He used to call me and another DOLer the tree huggers.I'd take my foster greys in,or a lizard I'd found or a lost dog and he'd smile and say"Here comes the tree hugger saving the world".Micheal is the best vet I've ever seen but Bruce had something special.

Too funny

OMG DA those photos are GOLD!The pappasan chair Those ears

Bruce is no longer there he is up at Kanwal.

Can't go past Michael Jones at Erina Heights Vet Hospital.43845888.I've been going to him for years.www.erinaheightsvet.com.au.

Maybe ask Kirislin or SirWJ in the whippet breed subforums.

We've had a blue foster with brown eyes, picture is here.. http://greyhound-adoption.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoid=126080166 They might be genetically amber but the colour was very much brown (although that photo doesn't demonstrate it very well, it's just one of the few I still have of the dog in question). Edited to add.. For comparison, regarding blues.. The light, washed out blue- http://www.greyhound-data.com/greyhound/1701042/466/Greyhound_Boscos_Choice-big.jpg A darker blue- http://www3.greyhound-data.com/greyhound/1344156/690/Greyhound_Tas_Blue_Ox-big.jpg and another.. http://www.greyhound-data.com/greyhound/1554497/324/Greyhound_Aero_Blue-big.jpg Yep I can see what you mean about the washed out blue.

Never said you did ;) Preferences are usually based on experiences. Most blue dogs I've seen do look washed out and so it's not a colour I'd choose. I have no doubt there are some nice blues out there, it's just not for me. I also really dislike greyhounds with amber eyes but again, it's just a personal preference and not an attack on anyone whose dog happens to have amber eyes. Edited to add.. an example of the sort of thing I don't like- washed out colour and amber eyes. http://www.greyhound-data.com/greyhound/1701042/466/Greyhound_Boscos_Choice-big.jpg Not only is Stan blue but he has amber eyes.I bet you'd love him if you met him. ;)

I didn't pick my dogs for their colour.Stan is blue and definately doesn't look"washed out".He has a stunning coat that people comment on all the time.My little girl is white(as I said with a few brindle patches).After many foster dogs I chose my dogs for their personality NOT their colour.

My first greyhound Stan is blue.He is a stunning looking boy without being biased.After having fosters of varying colours my favorite colour in greys is brindle.So many variations of brindle,blue brindle being my personal fave.My second adoptee is white with a brindle spot over her eye and a large brindle patch over her rump.Both my dogs came to me sight unseen but I love both of their colours.Personally I think a harlequin dane is the most stunning dog I've ever seen.

What a stupid woman,honestly no brains and happy without them!I have two greyhounds,one who wouldn't stick a toenail out of the house if it was raining and the other who loves it.I have a huge backyard and the bottom floods (under water as we speak)and Maddie loves zooming through the water.Her eyes peering through clumps of mud all over head and body.

Glad she's going to be ok.

When I fostered Stan I had only had him a couple of days and I was sruggling with my arthritis.I was laying in bed with Stan,my head on one pillow and his on the other and he was staring at me.Then he ever so gently put his paw on my cheek and closed his eyes.For a dog who had only known me for a couple of days I'm sure he sensed the pain I was in.Of course my heart just melted and I knew right then he was my forever boy.

Or maybe he's just got good football taste . Once tennis is on tv I wonder if my boy will be phased by it as he is addicted with tennis balls. Hahaha I agree with you there but my boyfriend keeps trying to get him more excited about the NRL! He looks to be cheering for the mighty Rabbitohs in that pic.

I lost my soulmate Chuck the ridgyX in Nov 09 two weeks after his 16th birthday.I swore that was it,never again no one would ever replace my boy.Then another DOLer who is a friend of mine was rescuing greyhounds.Nine months later I had a greyhound sitting on my lounge!Stan came into my life and heart in Aug last year and I've never looked back.I fostered greys for a couple of months until miss Maddie came into our lives.For me there was a massive gap in my life.I realised I wasn't replacing my Chuck,I just had so much more love to give.

I am so sorry your loss GayleK.

And Isabells always will.Love and strenght 2 you.

Not a big fan of cats I'm afraid.
