macoduck Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Shannon crossed the bridge today. She was 12. She had a medical crisis this weekend with her liver. Her owners got her to a specialist after their regular vet did what she could do. Until she met Bob and Annette, Shannon had had a hard life. When I first fostered her I posted about how she'd been found running the streets several times, how she was being returned for peeing in the house - her old owners couldn't be bothered to take her out so wonder she ruined their floors. Finally Shannon had found a heaven on earth in the home of Bob, Annette, and senior greyhounds Stacy and Shawn Michael. In the Winter 1999 issue of Celebrating Greyhounds Magazine, Annette wrote an article about how her greyhounds Molly and Sarah were nursemaids to Bob after he suffered a devastating heart attack when they lived in Cape Coral FL. Both Molly and Sarah later died from bone cancer. Today they are greeting little sister Shannon as she crosses the bridge. Shannon's dad is a retired fireman. When they first adopted Shannon, at GTer photoshopped this picture of her for me.
