Guest Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 Hi, I'm new here. I was looking at some greyhound websites and found this one. It looks like a good one. My greyhound craigie mcduff passed away on Monday. He had a heart attack I think. He fell over and let out a horrible scream. He died within minutes. I am glad I was there to tell him I loved him and comfort him. I have another greyhound Foster. thank goodness I have him. I am feeling sooo bummed. Mcduff was only 71/2 yrs. old. I'm not sure about getting another greyhound, but I'm concerned about how Foster feels not having his best friend around anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plepkowski Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Greyhounds are very easy to love. All of us are susceptible. I know you miss Craigie enormously. Give yourself a little time and then go find a new friend. Paul & Bill & Elmo in NY Happy waiting at the rainbow bridge.

Houndmom Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 I am so sorry for the loss of McDuff. We lost out 1st grey (8 years old) to a very sudden and rare illness last year. My husband was grieving so badly I decided to look into adopting another...not to replace Ginger, but to make him feel that he still had a purpose in caring for another rescue dog. I am very glad we did adopt another. The loss of a pet can be very devistating and you need to find your way through the pain. You'll know when you are ready for another. Just remember, adopting another dog doesn't mean you are replacing McDuff. He will live in your heart and memories forever. Lots of hugs to you all. :??

Guest gatemaster93 Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 So sorry for your unexpected loss. I know its very hard. A poem I always like to share (it really helped me when my horse died in my arms) Weep not for me, For I am where I've always longed to be; 'Tis I, dear friend, If tears were here allowed, Should weep for thee.

Guest Yossarian Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 My condolences to you also, one of my greys, genny, crossed the bridge at the end of march. It isn't easy, but it gets better with time, but the memories will always stay fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nan Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Sorry to hear of your loss of McDuff. To lose a loved one is never easy. He runs free now with the other dogs! Please do give another your heart. Each one is special, and we carry the love from them. We can't replace them as they will wait for us to be with them later in life. I hope you stay here so that we may rejoice with your next greyhound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganAndGreys Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 So very sorry to hear of McDuff's passing. What a shock to lose him so quickly. He's playing at the Bridge with all the other greys who have gone before him.
