Newbie, be gentle (2/9)

  1. Thank you all for your beautiful words. I think it’s the shock of it all, was expecting to have him for at least another 10 years. There was loads we wanted to do with him like bring him to the beach, day trips out and holidays and now we can’t. He was only with us for such a short time but definitely took all our hearts. Will miss him jumping up and down while we tried to get his harness and collar on and even his stinky farts (he could clear a room with them 😁) Our little lurcher has lost her buddy but seems to be doing ok with it all, loads of extra hugs are helping.
  2. For years all I’ve wanted is a greyhound. Our beautiful Oreo came to us last August straight off the track. He came into our house and straight up on to the couch and made himself at home. Yesterday morning he got up not a bother on him and an hour later he was gone. He jumped off the couch and ran into the kitchen, he couldn’t get a grip on the floor and was sliding everywhere, I thought he was just slipping then realised his whole body was contorting. He fell down and started shaking, I thought it was a seizure like my other dog had before. It stopped and he just lay there panting and five minutes later it stopped and I realised he had just died. I can’t believe our beautiful boy is gone, my children were in the room and seen it all. The wonderful couple who gave him to us from their rescue came straight away to take him down to the vets. The vet thinks it was a stroke. I just can’t get my head around it, one minute there and then not. He had just turned 5 and was living his best life. He loved walks and would look to go out at least 3 times a day. He had his favourite route around the town and god love anyone who blocked his path, he’d walk straight through them. He was only starting to learn how to be a dog, he’d give licks and was starting to play with our lurcher. He loved hugs from the kids and snuggling on the couch with them. The house was so quiet last night without him crying for us to bring him out for yet another walk. I’ve lost two dogs before but they were both 15 and had lived their best life, poor Oreo got 5 years and less then 1 as an adored family member. This is just heartbreaking.
