Opus d'Greyhound
September 25, 2014- November 15, 2025
He left as he arrived, surrounded by love
Run free my beloved boy

We spent part of Opus’ last morning at the beach
He lounged in the water then took a nap with his head in my lap

Operation: quality of life continues
Happy boy

He may have like 2 months or so unless a tumor bursts (typical way dogs with this go). There is no warning with a burst.

So I will see how he is doing tomorrow once all the effects wear off and make some choices

Opus update

Options:
1-Add different pain meds
2-Localized radiation for hip
3-Chemo
4-eastern supplements

Going to do 1 and 4
Not going to do 2 because it needs anesthesia
Going to research 3 & discuss further. Would not give him more time but could slow spread/risk

Hi everyone. Please send all the healing thoughts you can to Opus. X-rays show possible cancer. We have an oncology appointment on Tuesday

Finally wearing my new shirt. Time to go blow a whistle and be in the way of the evil abductors

So, uh. They are not prepared for the #uglyDogs.
It usually takes 4 MONTHS to sell all their doh sponsorships and we did it in under 4 HOURS today….
Let’s keep flooding ReRun with love (and $)

Happy 11th birthday to the BEST dog! Opus loves everyone he meets (except those darn squirrels)! His infectious Roo spreads joy wherever he goes. He loves to cuddle and play and roach. He thinks every open door is an invitation for him to visit.
Here’s to many more years of joy!

He’s celebrating no come by roaching!

Opus just had his stitches out today and he’s doing fantastic (and cone-free!)

Pathology came back and it was caused by a melanocytoma. The cancer was contained in the eye so removal actually removed all the tumor as well.

He has a great bill of health going into his 11th birthday on Thursday

Bucket list this weekend:
Penguins!

That’s the indoor cone and it’s pretty soft. We have a sturdier one for walks
September 16, 2025 at 3:17 PM
Really well
It’s healing beautifully
I’m still an anxious mess but he’s doing so well. It’s been just one week. One more week of stitches and cone
September 16, 2025 at 3:10 PM
Opus has a soft one

Thank you everyone for the well
Wishes.
Opus is doing very well, and for those who know greyhounds, a roach is an excellent sign. His appetite is normal and his pain seems well managed

Asking #uglyDogs for all the positive thoughts for Opus tomorrow
He had an acute glaucoma incident over the weekend and we are removing the eye tomorrow. Greyhounds are notoriously sensitive to anesthesia so please pray he comes through perfectly
