Lulu and Malcolm's stories are so beautiful and heartbreaking. They were clearly meant to be with each other, and with you, and I can't imagine how much you are missing them. The love you shared was so strong---I have no doubt that you will all see each other again. They are watching over you together. I'm so sorry you lost your precious Lulu and Malcolm.

What a stunningly beautiful lady she was. I'm so sorry you lost your precious Maya.

What a fascinating, complex, beautiful girl she was. I'm so sorry you lost your precious Raven.

Carol, I'm so sorry you lost your precious girl. So many here were smitten with her, and are sharing your sadness. She was truly beautiful.

Many of us had been following your thread, and hoping for a different outcome. I'm so glad you found each other, and so sorry you lost your precious boy.

Just wanted to say how great he looks, and to send good thoughts out to both of you during this roller coaster ride. You and Aston are strong and brave.

Thinking about you and Romie, sending good thoughts, and knowing you will make the right decision for your precious boy.

Oh, Lori, your wonderful tribute brought many smiles as well as tears. How well you understood your "mythical Greyhound", and how you loved him. It's easy to see why. I'm so sorry you lost your precious Monty.

I can't imagine how much you will miss this beautiful, gentle soul. I'm so sorry you lost your precious Angel.

Thanks for letting us know, Judy. The good thoughts, white light, prayers, and nose kisses from Lydia are still coming!

Oh, Judy, tears for you, for your worry and for his pain. We are keeping you both in our prayers, and hoping that it isn't the sad news you fear.

The love and the bond you shared are so clear and so beautiful. My heart is aching for you at his sudden passing. You are right---it makes it a bit easier to know he didn't suffer, but it's especially hard to say goodbye when your heart is so unprepared for his loss. I'm so sorry you lost your precious Garth.

She was with you through so many changes! I can't imagine how much you will miss her. I'm so sorry you lost your sweet Happy.

Though I wish it hadn't taken so long for her to move into your home and hearts, I know you were all blessed that she was truly yours until the end. I'm so sorry you lost your precious Hannah.

Judy and Nadir, I'm keeping you both in my prayers. I've been thinking about you so much. Leaving Spain tomorrow, and I'll check in when I get home.

I'm so glad to see a positive update! I will keep hoping that we see more of this kind of news, and that he will continue to feel better and better. Come on, sweet boy---we love you!

I;m so sorry you lost your precious Queen. She was lovely. And it made me smile to think of her barking in someone's face. It's easy to understand how much you'll miss her.

Oh, Judy, I'm so sorry I didn't see this until now! I'd have been sending out a ton of good thoughts to your sweet boy. I'm sitting in a hotel room in Malaga Spain, having just gotten back from a day of helping at Char del Rio's finca, and thought I'd check out GT, since I haven't been on since I got here on Friday. When I saw it was a post about Nadir, my heart sank. I know how many ups and downs you've had, and how you take such good care of him. Please know that I am thinking about you both, and hoping that he bounces back. I'm sure Lydia (who I'm missing like crazy) doesn't need me to tell her to send some telepaphic "get well, be safe, love you!" thoughts out to her sweetie. I'm going to try and check on GT more often. Sending hugs across the ocean.

What a wonderfully unique guy he must have been. I'm so sorry you lost your precious Shadow.

Oh, Ducky, I'm glad that you got the chance to make that sweet boy so happy. But damn it, you all deserved more time together. How sad that you had to say goodbye so soon. The picture of him in his possum collar is so precious it brought tears to my eyes. I'm so sorry you lost your sweet Possum.

I hadn't read your other thread for a while---feeling that fragile complacency that he was going to be okay for a long time---and today I saw that it was locked. I can't tell you the overwhelming sadness I felt when I saw that. If ever there was a dog who was exactly where he was meant to be, with the perfect owner, it was Tempo. The compassion and unselfish, unconditional love you showed him, and filled his life with, especially during this difficult, 6 month journey, are truly inspirational. I wish that all dogs could know such love when they need it the most. If love alone could have kept him alive, he would have been with you forever. But that damn monster is such a crapshoot. Sometimes we get lucky, and sometimes everything we do just isn't enough. It just seems so hugely unfair. Having lost a Grey to cancer (lymphoma) at only 6 years old, I can understand your feeling of helplessness. Like you, we tried everything, she fought so bravely, but it wasn't meant to be. Please know that Tempo always felt safe within your love and care, certainly as you faced each obstacle together, and even at the very end. Thank-you for sharing him with us, and allowing us to accompany you on this journey. I'm so, so sorry you lost your precious boy.

Please be gentle with yourself. Know that this will add an extra layer to your sadness, and let yourself grieve. From everything you said, I can't imagine how you could have known that something would take her so suddenly. I hope that in time, the knowledge that she was safe and happy and unconditionally loved till the very end, will bring you comfort, and call up your precious memories. I'm so sorry you lost your sweet Jonelle.

Steve, my heart is breaking for you and your family. Katie had a true GT family too---we fell in love with her through your beautiful, sensitive pictures. Thank-you for sharing her with us. We share your sadness now, and send you much sympathy. I'm so sorry you lost your precious girl. You all tried so, so hard.

What a long and much loved life she had. I'm so sorry you had to say good-bye to your precious Wink.

I just won a No Nude Hounds jammies in the auction at our picnic, and I love it! Lydia will be 13 in November, and she just needed a little something in the house. The T strap in the jammies is a little smaller, but it covers the chest, and ties over the back. It's so easy to put on, and I think it's a good design. I like the way the 4 footed jammies look, but I would never get any of my guys to hold still on a regular basis to put them on---I've tried! I guess Dewey would be a stretch from Boston to get some coats, but you'd love it for lots of other reasons, and it's a great place to buy coats and collars. You can try on the ones that catch your eye, make sure they fit (and look fabulous), and get instant gratification!
