Want a Breedia welcome graphic? Info

Dear Azz,
As Merry does not appear on the graphic I am currently using, I wonder if you could add the necessary wording to the attached file.

Just - Welcome to Breedia
From Carole, Eddie, and Merry.
Will be fine, thank you, CC.

Fantastic photo of Eddie & Merry

Thanks Tina. November sun casting deep shadows, why do I never sort these things out when conditions are better?
'Cos I'm scatty!

Beautiful photograph of Eddie and Merry.

I will not change my Avatar of Pereg because it is just too soon, nor will I ask Azz for a change to my welcome graphic. In my mind it is better just to say Malka and Tikva as welcome words.

I hope they suffice to welcome newbies.

Maybe one day, but that day is not yet.

I know how you feel Malka, as we lost both of our girls at a similar time. I still have a graphic featuring Tweed, and I have used it once or twice since she left us, but I think the two Beagles are a better illustration of the current situation here.
Tweed lives on in our memories, she was such a 'well hard' but talented dog, I'm always getting, 'remember when ...' comments about her. One of a kind.

I was talking, via email, to the person who had another angel epi dog, saying when do we stop this seizure-watch? Six months now and still the slightest strange sound from Tikva, who is only just 5½ months-old and I instantly check on her, however deeply asleep I am during the night. It wakes me

She said that even three years later she is still on seizure-watch with her second dog.

I do not think that I will ever change my Avatar, as although it was not the best photograph of Pereg - that was her. Sitting in the open doorway watching the world go by.

But I have not changed my desktop photograph - the first photograph of my Lexi, my Little One. And I will not, even though she just went to sleep during the night when Pereg was about 11-months-old, even though I have a print that is framed on my wall, next to the graphite sketch I recently had done of Pereg.

I love Tikva who is rapidly changing from being a mini-monster of a puppy to the Kevin stage. She is not Pereg, just as Pereg was not LO - and as Baby Ziva was only with me for 11 days I never got to know her.

But in spite of all Pereg's seizures and the almost hourly medication [no insurance] and so many blood tests I still wonder if I should have asked Ram to have come out at nearly 1am to give her peace, and whether I should have tried a bit longer.

Yes, I can empathise with that, I still feel guilty for letting Tweed not recover from that final anaesthetic. My sensible side says what would have been the point of letting her struggle on for maybe a week or two longer, but there is another bit that asks whether she would have wanted to fight on to the bitter end. We can never know what they would have chosen, and I am certain that you did all you possibly could for dear Pereg. I have never had an epi dog, but I know how many of the Ob. folks have gone through it with their Collies.
We cherish all our pictures and mementos, but the real attachment is inside, and will last as long as we do. I'm sure you must still miss LO too, as I can still tear up over some of my toydogs 20 - 30 years on.

Look at her expression and the date and tell me that she was not ready to have the peace that she was given just a week later. And then both Ram and I were able to give her that peace. 6 years and 3 months old - that is all my girl was.

I did not know that would be the last photograph I took of her and did not see it until I started downloading pictures from my camera a few weeks later.

Ah bless her. Yes, she looks tired in that photo.

Thank you Azz, beautifully spaced - I wondered how you were going to space it!

Hello! I am Oliver and I am Boo!

Sweet little ones. I hope they are able to get their confidence back soon.

Hi from Levi

I'm new just now. Believe it or not I've never been on a forum before. Can't think of a better forum than one for dogs. I will post a pic of my dog, "Mitch". I looked for hisbreed on here, but aa he's a lurcher there were no results. Hopefully that will change

Hello Julie - welcome to Breedia to you and Mitch from Tikva and me [Juli without an "e"!]

There is a Lurcher forum on Breedia

https://www.forum.breedia.com/dogs/lurcher-forum/​

or you could post on the General Dog Chat Forum

https://www.forum.breedia.com/dogs/general-dog-chat/​

Wherever you post I am sure we will see it, and look forward to seeing pictures of Mitch and hearing all about him.

I am reminded that none of us seems to use a Welcome graphic anymore. We also seem to have lost Azz, who comes up as last seen at the end of December, but hasn't posted for longer than that. I wonder whether he is OK?

To @juliea Welcome to Breedia. This was the first forum that I posted on, and I can still remember how scary it felt trying to find your way around. There is nobody who bites on here though, and we help anyone if we can. Feel free to ask for help, or just post your photos. You will find my Lurcher posts on Malka's link, - now sadly passed, but I still love a Lurcher, especially a rough coated one.

Thanks CaroleC. Mitch is rough coated.....half whippet, half poodle
