    I was one of the ones who got nothing last year :( . But I didn't let it bother me, I had just as much fun getting my gift together for my SS as I would have if I received one! Just remember that it does happen, for whatever reason, we are such a huge group now, and most of us are awesome! :)

     

    Teddy, our big 91 pound boy, was one who didn't receive his gift last year, but his sisters shared with him. He will really be looking happy when he gets a gift this year. :couchjump

    I know the post was not meant to offend anyone, I took it more as frustration that people at the poster's place of employment were being critical of another employee over what she did for her dog.

     

    I was one who did answer the "no limit" option. It's been my experience that the choices I have had to make with my dog's critical care ended up not being monetary choices but instead "what is right for the dog" choices. There have been several times that I would have certainly continued with costly care, but it was not going to change the outcome and the dog would suffer as a result. Those are the times when the kindest thing was to let them go in peace.

     

    It's really unfortunate that anyone is offended by this thread. We all do the best we can, and we make decisions based on the information we have, and what is the right thing to do at that time for that dog.

    I agree, I hope one of the mods will pin this topic. I would like to add this one.....

     

    THE SPIRIT OF A GREYHOUND

     

    I was standing on a hillside

    In a field of blowing wheat,

    And the spirit of a Greyhound

    Was lying at my feet.

     

    He looked at me with kind dark eyes,

    Ancient wisdom shining through.

    In the essence of his being,

    I saw the love there too.

     

    His mind did lock upon my heart

    As I stood there on that day,

    And he told me of this story

    About a place so far away.

     

    As I stood upon that hillside

    In a field of blowing wheat,

    In a twinkling of a second

    His spirit left my feet.

     

    His tale did put my heart at ease,

    All my fears did fade away

    About what lay ahead of me

    On another distant day.

     

    "I live among God's creatures now

    In the heavens of your mind,

    So do not grieve for me, my friend

    As I am with my kind.

     

    My collar is a rainbow's hue,

    My leash is a shooting star.

    My boundaries are the Milky Way

    Where I sparkle from afar.

     

    There are no pens or kennels here

    For I am not confined,

    But I'm free to roam God's heavens

    Among the Greyhound kind.

     

    I nap the day on a snowy cloud

    Gentle breezes rocking me,

    And dream the dreams of earthlings,

    And how it used to be.

     

    The trees are full of liver treats,

    And tennis balls abound,

    And milkbones line the walkways

    Just waiting to be found.

     

    There even is a ring set up,

    The grass all lush and green;

    And everyone who gaits around

    Becomes the Best of breed.

     

    For we're all winners in this place;

    We have no faults, you see.

    And God passes out those ribbons

    To each one, even me.

     

    I drink from waters laced with gold,

    My world a beauty to behold;

    And wise old dogs do form my pride

    To amble at my very side.

     

    At night I sleep in angel's arms,

    Her wings protecting me,

    And moonbeams dance about us

    As stardust falls on thee.

     

    So when your life on earth is spent

    And you stand at Heaven's gate,

    Have no fear of loneliness--

    For here, you know, I wait.
