I'm so sorry

I am so sorry. Godspeed Flashman.

I'm so sorry. My heart aches for you. Wishing you strength and the comfort of wonderful memories of Jock.

I'm so sorry. My thoughts are with you.

Farewell Grandpa. for you, Heather and Ken.

Girlie had a dental well into her 12th year and this was followed several months later by a tie-back operation for LP in her 13th year. I would have preferred her not to have undergone either operation, but the dental was considered critical for her future kidney and heart health. The tieback was literally a matter of life or death. This made the decision on the tieback surgery much "easier" for me! That said, Girlie was in good health internally - kidney, liver, heart function all good and strong for a grey of her age. In my extremely humble opinion, considering Iceman's other health issues, I would think that the dental would need to be essential to his wellbeing. Hugs to you. I feel for you, having to consider this for Iceman at such a fine, old age.

I am stunned to see this email this morning. I thought that Genie just might live forever. Wherever in this world there are greyhound people, Genie will be spoken of with reverence, awe and love. Genie has left the building...long live our precious memories of her.

Girlie had tieback surgery at 13yrs 3 months - one-sided tieback. Apparently, the risk of aspiration is greatly reduced compared to a tie-back on both sides. A specialist soft tissue surgeon did her surgery - through the side of her throat (from the outside), which doesn't carry the risk of internal bleeding and scar tissue build up that making an incision inside the throat may. Girlie did wonderfully well. I was extremely careful with her food for about 3 weeks post surgery - handfeeding her for a week, so that she didn't try to gulp her food down too quickly. She was on a strict diet of cubes of raw meat, which was fine, because she was on a full raw diet already. A week before surgery, Girlie had had a life threatening respiratory attack, where she came close to asphyxiating. Post surgery, she breathed beautifully, normally, the regular bouts of panting stopped, she could cope with the heat (it was during our summer) and "stress", she stacked much-needed weight on her previously very skinny frame and was comfortable and happy. Surgery gained her another 8 comfortable and contented months, before cancer snatched her away. Worth every dollar! Oh, and no aspiration problems. I watched her drinking for the first few days, heart in mouth, but no aspiration.

I'm so sorry. A beatiful tribute for a very special boy.
