I am so sorry for your loss. He was a beautiful greyhound. :grouphug

I couldn't open the can Syd's ashes are in. I'll have to get someone else to transfer them.

Probably a plate on the bottom. Sydney Sue's came in a suede box with an obvious top to remove, and her actual ashes are in a can. The permanent ash boxes usually have a semi-hidden plate somewhere.

Sending white light and healing thoughts for your Gracie. :hope :hope

I am so, so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. The seniors are so sweet. Run free, sweet Pearl.

oh my gosh, I can't believe his leg broke while they were x-raying him! Poor Jamey.

Oh, no! I'm so sorry.

I'm glad to see this update, I've been worried about her since reading the other posts. I hope she continues to improve.

I am so sorry for your loss. Run free, sweet King.

What a gorgeous girl. It's so hard to lose our babies.

I am so sorry for your loss. Run free, sweet Maggie.

I am so glad he was in such a loving home for the last of his time. Run free, sweet Ashy.

My vet came to my house to let Sydney Sue go. I had taken her to his office earlier that day, and he said it was time, so we did the paperwork and payment then as well as arrangements for the individual cremation (the vet takes care of the details), and then Sydney Sue and I went home. When the vet came to my house, it was like she knew - she went and laid on her bed. He gave her the first injection of an anesthesia, and she flinched a bit, like it stung, but then she relaxed. I was holding her and kissing her and talking to her. She was not aware of the second injection, she just sighed, once, twice, then she was gone. I wouldn't have done it any other way, it was beautiful letting her go in her own home, in her own bed, although it was the hardest thing I have ever done and I cried like there was no tomorrow.

The big goofy boys make me weak in the knees. They are usually super lovey and velcroy. The girls tend to be a little more independent. And bratty. I've not had trouble with boys marking, I've had more trouble potty training the girls. With fostering, I've had more boys over the years than girls, and I'd say that while I would love another boy, I'd take any greyhound I bonded with. They are all great dogs.

I'm so sorry. I just lost my beautiful girl, I can't bear to watch the video. It does get easier with time. These greys are just so very special to us, it's so painful to say goodbye. Run free, sweet Abby. :grouphug

I'm so sorry you have to make that decision, it is truly the hardest one I have ever had to make. It's so very hard when their spirit is still strong, but their body cannot keep going on. I could not agree more with letting them go a day early than a day late; I said goodbye to my Sydney Sue this last Monday because I knew she couldn't keep going on. I let her go on a good day, and it was so hard, and so bittersweet, but it was also so the right thing to do. I wish you much strength, you are a very good dog-mom to let your baby go instead of suffering. It's hardest on those left behind. :grouphug

I am so, so sorry. :grouphug

oh, no! I am so, so sorry. :grouphug Run free, sweet Kylie.

My Sydney Sue.

I am so, so sorry for your loss. Run free, sweet Vixen.
