Yes, the one year mark is a very painful time. Always has been for me too. I am so sorry you lost wonderful Timber. Run free sweet Timber. Your guardian Angel, Timber f_yellow

I am so sorry you lost Missy B. What a sweet and intellegent girl. So sorry for her pain. My heart goes out to you. Run free dear Missy B, run free. :f_pink :gh_run2

Oh my dear, we all are surrounding you with love and compassion. I am so sorry for your deep loss and hurt. We get so close to these babies, and then there comes a time when they move on to a higher place. Dear Frost is watching over you. I know the feeling you described when bringing him home again. I felt the same way when my Sierra (big girl) was in a small urn. Very hard for me. My other girl who I lost came to me in three dreams letting me know she was ok. It really helped since her last few hours were not good. That was 2004 and I still miss those beautiful girls. And let me tell you, the love I got from the forum kept me alive. Run free dear Frost, watch your mama. :bighug

I am so very sorry for the loss of your sweet Gabe. God's Peace fill you, dear. Run free our Gabe, run free!!

Many condolences to Richard's family. Hate to lose a fellow Greyhound lover. :f_red

I am so very sorry for the loss in your heart. f_yellow :f_pink

I remember watch in Brett Lee on the internet just surfing Greyhound sites. He was an amazing famous dog. I remmeber saying to myself, I would LOVE to adopt him or someone adopt him to give him a wonderful loving life of comfort after working so very very hard for so many years. I see he never made it to adoption. But what a wonderful baby!! Thanks for letting us know here.

Run Free sweet Groucho! :f_pink :f_pink

I am so sorry for your loss of your little Tiger. He had a wonderful time with your love in his latter part. Run Free Tiger, Run Free Dear One

Run free sweet little Daisy Mae. I am so sorry for your loss. All the beautiful Pup babies at the bridge have cuddled her in, including my two wonderful girls.

My solution??? HAVE ANOTHER BABY!!!! LOLOL -- I love them so much, the more the merrier!! This may not be as educational advice as others, but it provides more roos, more kisses, and more Greyhound loves!! LOL

I am so very sorry.

I am just broken hearted for your loss. I do understand how your are hurting. My wonderful beautiful girl was taken from me back in 2004. A deep hurt. Your wonderful guardian angel is watching over you now. God Bless and lots of peacefulness your way.

Now you are healthy and free from weakness, sweet wonderful Tuna!! Run free sweet girl. Prayers of peace go out to you, dear. I am so sorry for your loss and pain.

Run free Rivie, you wonderful and spiritual girl. We love you even if we never physically met you. I am so sorry for your loss.

Oh thank you for sharing such a sweet, and heart filled story. I break for you. I am so so sorry for the absence of Molly in your life. May you run free dear sweet Molly. Run free-free.

Run free sweet Bubba. Run ever so free. I am so sorry for your loss. God grant your heart peace.

A very handsome boy Tank! Now Tank will watch over you. I am so sorry that your heart is breaking, my dear one. You are a sweet soul for your love for Tank. May Tank run free with glee!!

Those pics of Slim just come to life with his eyes. They really speak out! I am still grieving for one of my girls who left me back in 2006. She came to me a few times too. This story helped me. My heart feels out to you and Slim. In fact, she was the exact same color as Slim. She was 10. Thank you. Slim is your guardian Angel!!!

Back in 2004 I lost a 10 year old Greyhound girl to Mast Cell Tumor Grade Level 2. It ended up very vascular in her throat region with a huge fluid bump the size of a small orange externally. This cancer had actually started many months prior internally with no apparent symptoms. The vet was able to give her 4 extra months with dignity through prednizone treatments. Her track name was Sierra Drifter. I adopted her in Melbourne Florida in the mid to late 90's. She was white with big brindle spots. I will post her image in my gallery.

First of all, I am so so very sorry for your loss of your baby. Many prayers out to you. On Veterans Day of 2004, I lost a wonderful 10 year old girl with Mast Cell Grade Level 2 Cancer. It was very vascular in her throat region. My wonderful vet then kept her living with dignity an extra 4 months with prednizone treatments. It was then considered rare for Greyhounds to have this type of cancer. Now it seems more and more common. It was a tremendous grief for me. Her name was Sierra (track name was Sierra Drifter). I will be praying for you. Run Free Run Free

I am so sorry - so very sorry for your intense loss. I lost a wonderful girl of 10 to a nasty cancer in 2004 on Veterans day. Less than a year later, I lost her sister to a degenerative bone disease (incredible pain). Your girls are now with my girls waiting for us there.

Yesterday, my girls turned 6! Both are from the same litter. I have had them since they were 2. I just read online that the true calculation for dog years is 15 people years to the dog's first year, 9 people years to the dog's second year, and 5 people years to every dog year after that. Anyone have any suggestions? Just curious. They had a fun birthday party with us!!!

Thanks so much for all your welcomes. Yes, the fenced in part of the back yard is about 1/2 an acre. They get plenty of excersize.

Thankyou all for your paws crossed, prayers, and sweet thoughts for Angel. My vet stated that it is a benign tumor with a 3% chance of becoming metastatic. When removed, therre is a 5% chance of a revisit. I think those are great results! Again, thanks all!
