Guest jettcricket Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Oh....I am so sorry. I can't even begin to imagine how you all must feel....but please don't beat yourself up. We do our best in trying to find just the right homes for these special babies. Sometimes it's huge leap of faith that we entrust these dogs to strangers and it's beyond our control. Again....I am so sorry. Crying here in Jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DoofBert Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Sometimes we cannot understand why God wanted another greyhound angel. ...... We are not meant to, I guess. But remember the gentle hugs and the happy smiles this boy brought to your home. Let these happy thoughts replace the pain and self doubt!

maximum Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I am so sorry. We cannot know everything that will happen when these dogs leave. You did everything you could and then some - you loved Joe. And I think for a dog to know that bond with a human is as fulfilling for them as it is for us. He doesn't know it was only for a short time, as I do not think they measure time the same way we do - he just knows he loved and was loved. And now he knows he will see you again, some day. It's not "good-bye" but rather "until we meet again"... Run free Joe... Quote My boys, together again... A hui hou kakou, my loves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 6greyhounds Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) Ever since I heard about Joe's passing the tears will not stop. I feel that if I had not brought him up from Florida with his sibling Jams Beryl P aka Belle he might still be alive. We only had him in our life 3 days and he was the sweetest, gentlest pup I have seen. I did not have the opportunity as Carole had to be on the farm with him and his siblings (there were 7). He was confined to a motel room and a cargo van and did not cause any problems. He was a perfect gentleman at all times and that poor boy had to put up with 6 girls, me and my husband. This boy should not have died, he should still be here with us but in a different environment. If Vicky had listened after the first incident to Martha and a few other people she had asked advice off of he would not be dead. When we handed him over we told her until she know his disposition with her other grey to keep him muzzled, she did not. I do not know if the person who arranged this adoption knew she had a doggy day care & boarding business. Joe was not small animal tested or anything else he came right out of the kennel to me just as his sibling Belle did. When he bit the Iggy was he playing with it? We often have to tell Belle that Hershey (our smallest greyhound) is not a squeaky toy when they start playing. One time when he bit Monty Vicky was playing with Monty but not Joe and I know with my pack you cannot play with one and not the other. If you want to give only one play time then do it when you are alone with them. I learned my lesson when the ones that were not involved got a little aggressive. If you to another post you will see how vicious she has made him out to be. I know he wasn't, there was something in that house that caused these problems and I do believe it has something to do with her business. She did not want him to bark, if he hears the other dogs in her care barking he is going to bark - mine bark if they hear another dog even on the TV. She said on this site she was giving him Melatonin - Melatonin is given to humans to sleep - what was she doing to him. I wish I knew then (when I brought him North) what I know now I would never have brought him up with me and then maybe I would not shed all these tears which I am doing now Edited May 21, 2006 by 6greyhounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
