New Measures

Frantically putting up new (additional) anti-snake fencing although Golly's loss was a bit of a freak as we have lived with, and survived, the rare dangers of snake bites for many years here and in the Holy Land. Big dogs like ours would normally survive a viper bite anyway but Golly didn't display the usual reactions and seemed to have died of a kind of anaphylactic reaction to a mild amount of venom. Some Saluki friends have told me of the horrid bitchiness and blame meted out by other owners when they have lost a Saluki due to some tragic reason or another in spite of every degree of love and attention.  How cruel. This is one of the reasons for this site - to try to prevent tragedy but we cannot always succeed. Michael and I (especially Michael) feel strangely tired all the time and keep needing a nap! We think its a reaction to grief at this unexpected loss. When my brother died suddenly I slept for long hours night or day blotting out the pain. Not the same I know but grief is grief and we miss our problem but beloved Golly.
