My address shows Illinois, but I also spend winter and addl. time north of Houston, TX. I'm on my 5th Westie-the other 4 I had all at one time. My next dog I hope will be a retired greyhound.

That concerned me. Yesterday afternoon, back to the vet we went. Her blood work was a little off, but not bad. He wanted to do a quick screening to rule out Ad… read more

But, since it had been bleeding and is where his collar sits (when he wears one), she thought it should come off. He went in Friday morning to have it re… read more
