That was House and he was a great big boy! Don't think I could find another like him. My new boy, Frank (a Galgo), is tall but not nearly as big.

Just finished a long post about the kiddos I've lost in the past two years. Following up, I do have some good news! I have added two galgos to the household....Reyna and Frank (formerly Arlequin). Reyna joined me in August 2015. Poor little girl has been through a lot and needed a quiet home with a good, quiet friend. I work from home now and House sounded like the perfect quiet friend so there you go. Reyna, my beautiful little spooky fawn girl came to live with us. When I lost House in June 2016, Reyna wasn't sure what was going on. It took her a while but she adjusted to being an only dog and did quite well....I didn't. I needed another body in the house. Along came Frank, a bounce, who is quite a boy! He's a big black boy with a lot of flashy white and is incredibly handsome! Reyna and Frank do great together although they are total opposites....new things and people scare her while Frank is ready to meet all them. I have the best of both worlds with these two. They love me and I love them so what else matters?!?!? Once I get some picture downloaded, I will post them!

I haven't been on Greytalk for a good long while and for some reason this afternoon I thought now was the time. It has been a tough two years for my originals....I lost Lizzie (13), Stella (15) and Hitchie (11) in 18 months. Old age caught up with my girls and Hitchie? It all happened so quickly I never got a real diagnosis, either bladder or prostate-related. I lost House this past June, also very suddenly, most probably to osteo. Like Hitchie, it happened too fast. I used to post about these four all of the time but I'm not sure any of you remember them. I miss them all too much.

Special hounds end up with special people....Hannah was one of those special hounds. Thank you for showing her how good life could be. I'm only sorry she didn't have more special time with you. Rest well, pretty girl.

I am so sad to read this...I've loved Monty from afar for a long time. I'm quite sure that if we looked back far enough Monty and my Stella are related....almost every picture I have of her is a sleeping one. I am so sorry. Rest well, Sleepy Head...I'll miss you, too.

Some things happen for a reason and Angel coming to you was one of those things. Rest well, baby girl.

With a name like Possum, how could I not fall in love? I feel quite sure his 66 days with you more than made up for everything he went through before. You're a saint Ducky and I'm so sorry he didn't have more time to snuggle up with you. Rest well Possum and know that one of these days, when I find the right boy, you will have a namesake and I hope he's just as handsome as you.

Beautiful Katie....I'm so sorry. Rest well, sweet girl.

When the special one picks you, you become special as well. I'm glad Casey found you and knew what the good life was. You kept your promise.... to you.

This is why I don't get here much anymore....I always end up sad reading about another one of my favorites. Joe T. has been reporting for a long, long time and I loved reading. Rest well, my buddy and if you get a chance, would you please send me a report on Kevin and Lewis? Big hugs to all that loved Joe.

What a handsome boy he was....I am so sorry.

Gosh, time goes by so fast...hard to believe it's been a year already. Sweet Jack.....

Having lost Lewis at 7 and Kevin at 5, I feel your sadness. Your little Idol was a special girl and it just plain sucks she left you way too soon. to you.

It's so hard to make that call but in the end, it's the right thing to do. Your tribute to your sweet little girl was beautiful....I'm so sorry.

I am so sad to read this. Spud has been one of my favorites forever. Rest well, handsome man and big hugs to all that loved you.
