Guest LuckyMojo Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 After several weeks of having a suspected brain tumour, i finally got the news i was dreading this morning. Lucky was found to have two huge tumours growing from her aorta and surrounding her heart. She also had several large tumours inside her lungs and one of her lungs had partially collapsed and torn away from the diaphram. There were several more smaller tumours in her kidneys, liver and bladder. She also had tests for a pituitary tumour which were positive. The vet felt she only had days left, so with a very heavy heart i had to help my baby over the bridge. She went to sleep very quickly and peacefully. But it broke my heart. Lucky was a very happy energetic dog, with no health issues (despite having a rehoming vet check done by the group and also we had our vets do a health check when we got her). We only had her for 7 months and during that time she was the perfect dog! because of how beautiful and wonderful she was i will only ever have greyhounds! The consellation is that during the 7 months she was with us she had the best life...plenty of sofa time, treats and was loved by us all. the house doesnt feel right now, it feels like a family member is missing. This is all new to me as Lucky was my first dog...i have her beds, collars, leads and food all around the house ....but it doesnt feel right to move them. Ive asked for her ashes to be returned to us...maybe i will feel better then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest trevdog Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I'm so sorry for your loss. You gave her lots of love during her time with you. No matter how long they are with us, it's never enough time. When I lost Trevor, I left his things as they were until we moved to our new home. It helped me feel a little better.

Godspeed, now forever perfect, Lucky..... 1565766[/snapback] I'm so sorry for your loss.....sounds like she had a wonderful life with you and your family. I know when I lost my first greyhound, Chance, I left his food stand and crate up for a while. I just couldn't put them away...it gave me some comfort, something that I could hold onto. Will keep you and your family in my thoughts..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greytlady94 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I am so, so sorry. In time Lucky will lead you to another gentle soul who needs you. Try to take comfort in knowing how happy she was with you. Lucky is running pain free at the Rainbow Bridge, she is in very good company. Quote Greyhound angels at the bridge- Casey, Charlie, Maggie, Molly, Renie, Lucy & Teddy. Beagle angels Peanut and Charlie. And to all the 4 legged Bridge souls who have touched my heart, thank you.
