    Lofty Princess 4/23/2003 - 3/15/2017

    in Remembrance

    Posted · Edited by galgrey

    I don't feel I possess the skill needed to pay a proper tribute to this extraordinary being. I can't really call her a dog, because she never thought of herself as a dog. She was people and that was just the way it was. Three days ago I helped the her to The Bridge. She was almost 14 and over the past year had gotten progressively weaker in her back end. Acupuncture had been our friend for the past year and had kept her mobile and comfortable, that is until this past week when she began to fall and was unable to get up. To say my heart is broken is an understatement. I was, however, so blessed to have her share my life for the past decade. She was truly a princess and a gift that arrived just when I needed one. Everyone who ever met her and looked into her big, beautiful, intelligent eyes was smitten and commented that there was something very special about her. She was the ultimate Meet and Greet dog and ambassador for greyhound adoption. When she wore the donation vest at events would catch the eye of passing strangers and literally will them to come over to pet her and reach into their wallets. My grief is intense, but underneath is eternal gratitude. She wasn't supposed to have been mine originally but came to me to foster when the original adopter opted out. It didn't take me long to know she wasn't going anywhere as she had already taken residence in my heart. And there she still resides, always and forever.

     

    Run free, Lofty Princess. I'll catch you later.

    I give my boys both the carrots and beets. Luka's skin isn't as flakey any more. He used to have thick spots of flakey skin on his back legs and they are gone. I love Olewo carrots and beets.

    I make a mixture of carrots and beets and give them to my galgo, Cristiano. Good results here too. It has firmed his stool up nicely and no flakey skin.

    What a wonderful list of good eats. Thank you so much for sharing this.

     

    I'm so glad I came back to Greytalk after so many years absent. I've received so much support in such a short time.....and none too soon.

     

    Shelby is on day 3 of eating much, much better. She even has a spark in her eyes today I haven't seen in about a week. Fingers crossed that all of these suggestions will keep her eating just a little longer. I love my heart doggie so much!

    So glad to hear it. :grouphug

    Thank you everyone. I really appreciate it. Fingers crossed that Dr. Couto will have some findings from the cytology slides. I would feel so bad if we have to do another FNA.

     

    Misty is doing well so far. Adding tramadol seemed to help her as she's more active today.

    So glad to see the tramadol is helping. Adding my hope that you get encouraging news from Dr. Couto. :hope
