SonnyNCarmsMom Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 It seems like there's no way it could have been almost four years since we first picked up CC from Ebro. We had adopted CC's littermate, Carmella, one year earlier, and when we realized her sister was still racing, we asked her owner if we could have her when she'd finished racing. She agreed, and CC's career ended shortly thereafter. DH and I drove out to Ebro to get her, and she was the spitting image of Carmella, so much that we had trouble reminding strangers on the way back not to pet her, as we woudl forget we didn't really know her, that she wasn't Carmella. We intended all along only to foster her, but it was still heartbreaking to let her go three weeks later. It was wonderful, however, to send her off with my father in law and his wife, who have loved and cherished her these brief four years. She brought joy to their lives and loved her home with Shadow the Siberian Husky and PITA the cat. CC and Carmella lived together again when my in-laws cared for Sonny & Carm while we were between homes, just last year. CC is not even seven years old, and she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma one month ago, and will cross the rainbow bridge tomorrow. Please think of her, and think of my father in law and his wife, Cindy. They are giving CC anything and everything she wants. My father-in-law said to his wife, okay, I think we should let her on the sofa now, whenever she wants. Only then did Cindy tell him that CC has been allowed on the sofa from day 1 (they work different shifts) and Cindy vacuumed the sofa every day so he wouldn't know. She was a well loved dog, and will be missed by all. Take care CC, you will be out of pain soon, and in peace with your greyhound friends... Above, CC is on the left, Carmella is on the right...
