Sweet little Katie. She was a beauty and her soul sounds endless.....I am sorry for your loss and I know she is talking to you now from the bridge saying thank you for letting me free.

The vet we use in VB is Dr. Honaker at Bay Beach Veterinary Medical located at 4340 Virginia Beach Blvd. We only recently switched to him because the director of GNAP, Gay Latimer, told us that is where we should be going as he has a lot of experience with Greys. Phone number is 340-3913 if you are interested.

I would suggest you get in touch with the local chapter for Greyhound rescue and see whether you can visit them or they you with one of their dogs (I will assume they have their own Greys not adoptees). This way you might be able to determine if your daughter is still allergic or not, no guarantees. I don't know a lot about that type of allergy so can't give advice. Depending on the chapter, adoption usually is a 2-3 week process as these are all volunteers and have regular lives as well so the time to compelte the adoption papers, review them, interview, etc. takes time. You would have to be very specific about the personality of Grey you are seeking because not all are good with small children just like any other breed. Perhaps a senior would be best because they are generally relaxed, house trained and a so sweet. Hope everything works out.

We lost our Josey a year ago after 14.5yrs. She was our first and very special little angel. We got her when we lived in an apartment in the suburbs of Montreal when we were not supposed to have pets in the building - that didn't stop us. I remember picking her up and smelling of pee but it was her kisses that got me. She travelled with us everyone, never staying in a kennel and we only left her with my parents on three occasions in her whole life. As my DW always said, she was daddy's little girl and boy was she. When I went on an errand, she would ride up front with me looking out the window fascinated with the world around. When the next doors house went up in flames, she alerted us by standing up at the window and wining. She loved everybody with not a mean streak in her. Kids everywhere gravitated to her, of course they would, she's a Dally. All her life she has lived off a leash, always monitored and always stuck around. Most of her life she live on over 50 acres to run free, sniff and enjoy long walks through the woods with her brother and other two sisters. Her last year was hard on her and I believe hard on us. She contacted glaucoma and I remember the prognosis the vet gave, it shattered me as I knew she was so curious but at 13, losing her vision was not something I wanted for her. I promised I would do everything to help her early on just like all out furry ones. We opted for laser, tried to save the one 'good' eye and dearly hoping the bad eye would be okay. After several lasers and being with her after these procedures, it broke my heart when she whined knowing she had another round. She lost her sight in one eye and we battled for a year for the other but lost that battle in February '07. Once she lost her vision, her quality of life really started to slide, she lost weight, was restless and did not enjoy her walks anymore. All during this time she was with us full-timing in our RV, but she never complained. After a trip up the Eastcoast, she had trouble with one of her back legs and it never got better. She could not place weight on it and walking and standing was poor....we knew it was close to say goodbye. We so wanted to have her pass on in her sleep, but her spirit was strong. Even after making the decision, giving her everything the last couple weeks, when the day came, we still were selfish and wanted her to stay. The vet came to our RV and while sitting on the deck in the sun, her favourite pastime, we said our goodbyes.....it was so hard. I refused the vet's assistance for taking care of her with plans already made to have her cremated by a wonderful lady who by the way has two Greys at the time. I even refused the pickup offered adamant that I would take her all the way to the end, I promised her that and only wished I could take her all the way to the bridge to join her brother. If I could I would have and may not have come back at the time...I will see you again some day Baby Jo. You are my angel. The good news of all this is that the lady who took care of Baby Jo convinced us it was time to get a Grey. We adopted Charlie only a few weeks after Baby Jo's passing and he helped us through that hard time and has made up fall head over heels for Greys. We can't wait to get another. Josey: After losing her sight and some weight: Charlie, our new angel:

George was a beauty and obviously a fighter as he hung on even when his body was failing him. Run free, run fast George and play with my bridge angels, especially Baby Jo who went away a year ago who also suffered from glaucoma and her body giving up.

Wow, I have so few words for you Neena that haven't already been said. I just saw a video of Genie and she was one incredible Grey. I am sorry for your loss and happy that you had such a long time with her. She was and always will be beautiful. She will always be remembered, forever...

Oh no....I am sorry for your loss of Goods. He will be running free with Fudgie now... Run free, run fast Goods.

I am sorry for your loss of sweet Jupp. His tail is wagging in thanks for all the love you gave him. Run free, run fast Jupp.

I am so sorry to hear about Otis! You did the right thing and your actions did not cause him to suffer that day. He had a few more hours with those he loves and that all he would ask. Your experience mirrors the loss of our Pointer a couple years ago...oh how time has passed. The pain will subside somewhat, you will always have the memories and his love. Run free, run fast Otis.
