Phoenix went to the bridge June 4, 2011. I could not write a tribute at that time. It hurt too much.
Phene was my first greyhound. I adopted him in 2002 at one of the lowest points of my life. He healed me. He was sweet, easy going and very peculiar, even for a greyhound. He was diagnosed with osteo in late May of last year and I let him go a week and a half later. It was the greatest gift I could have given him. He was pain free.
He loved his sisters Treasure and Loca, his cats Linus and Allen, Eric, my dad and me. I hope he is frolicking with Loca, Linus and my dad.
Love you and miss you, Phenie. you were the best.
My favourite photo of him, taken at his final Dewey by Tricia (45mphk9).
