Lettie has been dealing with episodic lameness since mid April, but now steadily getting worse.
X-Ray from yesterday shows Lettie has bone cancer, a tumor on the lower end of her left femur. The image shows this is quite significant, and we are now dealing with what will be a short stint of palliative care and pain relief.
Lettie seems comfortable at present, seems happy and is enthusiastic about food and would really like to go for walks.
Letties had 4 teeth out a couple of days ago, she’s always had dental issues. She seems to have recovered pretty quickly and is now relaxing as normal.
Lil is staying with us for the day, mid afternoon and she’s only just starting to relax.

Greyhounds: Breed Overview
Greyhounds are a breed of dog that are known for their slender, athletic build and their ability to run fast. They have a short, smooth coat that is typically grey, black, or brindle in color. Greyhounds are generally gentle, intelligent, and loyal dogs, and they make excellent companions for people of all ages.
Greyhounds have a long history as hunting dogs, and they were originally bred for chasing and bringing down game such as hares and deer. They are still used for racing today, and they are known for their speed and endurance. However, greyhounds are not typically aggressive dogs, and they tend to be very calm and easy-going in nature.
In addition to being great pets, greyhounds are also used as therapy dogs and in search and rescue operations. They are highly adaptable and can thrive in a variety of environments, as long as they receive the exercise and attention they need.
Overall, greyhounds are intelligent, athletic, and affectionate dogs that make great companions for people who are willing to provide them with the exercise and attention they need.

Lettie and Rocks will share some of our sofas but them sharing Rocks’ bed is unusual, almost certainly Rocks was there first and Lettie is just being bossy. Rocks is a little nervous.
Rocks has turned out really great, from unhomable to perfectly behaved and especially around the house. But he is a bit enthusiastic and likes to run indoors to get to his bed or his sofa before anyone else is able to.
We often get asked how old Lettie is, with people assuming she is quite elderly. She is not.
