Alternative therapies for dogs
Many prescription medications have side effects. Many natural remedies can provide a safer alternative. This link takes you to an article discussing the subject. Aalthough it’s American, the weblinks therein are very interesting.
My galgo Polar had a damaged hind knee and I was able to find a canine physiotherapist who use the same treatment on him as I had after my broken shoulder operation. I also used CBD oil for pain relief for him instead of Metacam.

URGENT – Podenco’s Owner died, abandoned in the garden
Grom Galgos Liberty.Very very Urgent !!!!!
Her anxious look haunts me!!!!
Looking for Foster or better adopters for Fly, podenco about 4/5 years old. Her owner passed away a week ago and is now alone in the garden. A neighbour comes to feed him and brings him home at night. I stopped by to see him this morning, Fly is scary, but within 10 minutes he came to me.
HE seems to have been neglected by the absence of care and regular absence of his master and spent a lot of time alone, Fly will therefore need reassurance to trust again. Living with dogs looks ok, for cats we don’t know.
This cutie is adorable and deserves to find her furever family.

Living with a blind dog
A few weeks ago I introduced you to Bo (Bocelli), a blind podenco we recently adopted from life on a chain in Lorca, Spain. Having both had dogs for all our seven decades of life, we have never had a blind dog. So it is a new experience for us. He has now been with us for a couple of months and is settling in very well. He can now find his way out of the kitchen into the garden to the toilet, and back again. Luckily we have a ramp at our back door rather than steps, which is much easier for him. He hasn’t so far ventured into the rest of the bungalow but no doubt he will do it one day, in his own time.He shares his home with Rosely, a sighted podenca, and very often shares his bed with her. She wears a bell on her collar so he always knows where she is. He is at the stage of wanting to play with her in the garden, but after 6 years shut in a shed breeding babies, Rosely doesn’t know how to play. Her main interest is her stuffed toys, baby substitutes I suspect.
