I have waited a while for this, holding my breath and knowing that my big man would soon be with me in another form completely. My thanks to Kathy Hoynes-Goree' for capturing him so well. I miss him so very much but he still lingers in this house every day...

Thank you Jeff.
Hi Trudy

Just an FYI- propofol while widely used (and yes, ok with sighthounds) is not w/o risk. Your vet should needs to be comfortable using it to minimize risk.
Edited to add- my point-- ask your vet how comfortable they are using it and how often they have used it.
A good drug is one that is acceptable to use per breed and one that your vet has experience with. Any drug in the wrong hands can be dangerous. Ok- off my soap box now.
Agreed. My vet is quite comfortable with it.

Would you please add Miss Grace (Kelly) to the list. She is now at the bridge with her sister/sibling Miss Dolly.

Our thoughts remain with you and Mac. Strenght comes when we need it most.

I'm so very sorry Diane. How very wonderful it must have been to have such a beautiful Diva in the pack. We know how much these diva girls can rock your world and moreso your heart.

Oh Hilda my friend, how very lucky we all have been to have been able to share in Miss Pipi Francines wonderfully interesting and well loved life. We have enjoyed her silly exploits and adventures, laughing along with you, as she comes out unscathed on the other side. We have watched from afar as she has welcomed the new pups to the pack with her loving ways. We have laughed out loud at her use of her female wiles and a red convertible to spark the interest of a new manhound for her to torment with her beauty. You are so very blessed to have been able to love her and care for this extraordinary girl. She was blessed to have been a hound in your life, a very good life, a well loved life. I know how much you will miss her and we will miss her as well. My heart is with yours and together, with all of your friends, we will celebrate her life, her love and the joy that she gave to all so freely. I send my love to you my friend...

My heart is crying with yours.

I hate the fact that we have to understand the concept of holding close with open hands. You know I am there with you.

These anniversaries seem to bring a lot of reflection to all of us Hilda. The power of the heart knows no distance or time. It simply is. Dear, still and forever loved.

Welcome from Miami! Handsome hound!

I'm sure your life is going to be a little less interesting without your precious girlbut I know that your heart is full with the love she gave you and the joy she brought to your life.. My inner voice keeps hearing Cindi Lauper singing "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"

Holding you both close and prayers for a stubbed toe coming your way.

I can't believe that it's been a year. I really miss the Pimpmaster's posts.
Am I thinking correctly that there was a video of Gus being vacuumed?
Pimpmaster G, this is for you. I can't hear your name without thinking of this song, or hear this song without thinking of you.

In the blink of an eye, a year has disappeared behind me. So many changes occuring in our lives, in our pack this past year. Life has gone on but my thoughts, my daydreams, still wander to him. I see him in front of the fireplace, out in the cool green grass, the office, his hidey hole in the bathroom. Gustopher P, my big man, gone this last fleeting year, was and still is, such a strong presence in this house. His house. Miss Star, loved so very much by Gustopher when she would visit, has moved in forever. I can still see the quiet excitement in his eyes, love sick puppy eyes, when she would come in the door to visit for a few days. He would try desperately to maintain his dignified, Pimpmaster G persona when she would arrive, but if you looked closely, you could see it crack at bit. When he loved, he loved hard. And he certainly loved all of his girlies. I think he would approve of Star sharing the spots he loved best.
There are times, when I lay in the dark, almost asleep, that I hear that soft sigh he used to whisper as he settled himself into bed, squirming around to find just the right position. A small groan of satisfaction escaping him at positioning himself perfectly. I can still hear the quiet snore that told me when he was no longer here with us but in that secret place where hounds go when they sleep.
I miss the "knowing' that if I couldn't see him anywhere within the immediate area, that the girls had somehow annoyed his senses with some kind of "girlie garbage" and he had removed himself to his "Man Cave". I'd seen him on more than one occasion swing the door to the mostly closed position, probably in hopes that they wouldn't find him. A manhound, even with a heightened sense of and perfectly in touch with his feminine side, needs a break.
I still come home from work each night to the continued sheer and unadulterated happiness of the girls, bouncing with joy and a myriad of smiles, toothy grins, feet stepping on mine and tails slapping my thighs. I find myself at those moments, looking beyond them in search of the funny sexy grin that Gustopher P would give me. Not one to be "uncool" like his bevy of brindle beauties, he gave me his sly grin, a suave PIMP grin, a crooked little grin that said "I am so happy you are home but I am much to cool to hop around and act like a fool".
He is physically gone from us and that loss is painful still. I still step around the places that he inconveniently used to plop himself down on to nap that were forever right in the path of where I needed to go. Old habits are hard to break. But I love the idea that he still lingers in those places, even if it is just in my mind, in my heart. He is here with us though, all the time, in the places in the house that were his. I can see him in those places as we move through our day. These very special places still hold the imprint of this very extraordinary manhound. I relish in them, find joy in them and most of all, I am comforted by the memories they provide.
It has been a year since I said goodbye to him, cursing the fates and the osteo that took him, heart crying with the loss. But I have known, always known, that he would have to leave me before I would ever be ready to say goodbye. We never reach that readiness. So I console myself with the love that he gave me and gave us as a family. We were blessed to have him for so many good years and I am forever grateful that he was a part of our lives and my life with hounds. I will always miss my girlie guardian, my big goofy boy, my big cow upholstered manhound Gustopher P, and joy he brought to our home.

There is something so very comforting about Nellie leaving as she did. I hope that her family is as comforted by it as I am. I know that she will surly be missed by those that knew and love her.

It is so very hard to say goodbye to such a special hound. Thank you for giving us all the chance to know Jazz. Hoping your sadness heals with the memories that come from your heart where Jazz rests forever.

I know that the answers to "why" are not always there. The excitement of the heart and the expectation of joy and love to come are so very strong. I know your hearts were overflowing for what was to be. I'm so sorry that Dani's story could not have been longer. We hold you hurting hearts close to ours and hope that what could have been will remain joyful, knowing Dani was loved.

Clearly a heart hound who left her imprint on you from the beginning and guided you in the welcoming of all the other hounds who have stepped into your life since then. I know Marc, that she taught you well in all things Greyhound and she will be sorely missed here and in the Kingdon that is Blackwood.
