February 2017 - Progress

GREYlong came together in 2006 after several pet owners had lost companion animals to diseases with no known cure or treatment options. It is reasonable to ask, “Where are we ten years later?”

June 2016 - Summer Camp Tricks and Treats

Dogs always enjoy a walk, early in the morning, when it is cool. Since summer and the hot weather are officially here, maybe it is time for some indoor activities? Think of it as summer camp for your dog. We have two articles with suggestions for you.

September 2014 - Seasonal Allergies | Maypoling 4 R Mutts and The Gathering

It is that time of the year. I love the fall.  The leaves change colors; the weather cools. The dogs love the long walks in the brisk air. It is the “ragweed” time of year that I dread. Two of our dogs, Muffin and Murphy, had fall allergies.

May 2014 - Osteosarcoma Vaccine Tested at the University of Pennsylvania Shows Promise

In conversations earlier this year with Dr. Nicola Mason, assistant professor of medicine at University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, we learned how a vaccine composed of modified bacteria called listeria, is being used to treat OS.  Great results with Sasha still alive at 690 days post treatment and three dogs over 600 days.

June 2013 - Recapping the Gathering

It is a play day extraordinaire. The lake holds such attraction for most of the dogs.  The pups leap into the water; some paddle about; some lie chest deep in the lake. There are informal dog races around the fence, through the pavilion. Then there are the meeter greeter pups who think life is all about a cuddle and a pat.

May 2012 - Maypolin' 4 R Mutts

We wrapped up our fifth annual rummage sale, our most successful ever.  Donations came in slowly and we feared the worst.  Had GREYlong already cleared everyone’s garages and closets? You proved us wrong. We set up a virtual living room with an antique settee and
side chairs, wood/glass cocktail table, and upholstered dining chairs.
