Guest Gogh4It Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 (edited) I think ya'll will remember Hip, he was a quiet shy guy from MSGAO...earlier this year he was adopted by Todd Winberly of Jackson, Tn. Todd had been wanting this guy from the first time he ever saw him. He kept begging his brother Terry & his dad to bring Hip home, and finally they were united. I received an email this morning from Cynde/HHDesigns...Hip had to be put down this week, intestinal cancer. I know Todd is just devastated, like the rest of us...Hip was the love of his life. I know Hip is no longer in any pain, and he's running fast & free with the other bridge pupsters. Edited January 6, 2007 by Snowy8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gogh4It Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I'll be forwarding this to Terry's email. I don't think Todd has an email address. Sometimes Terry come on Greytalk, he's got Rugrat, Seebee (sister to Greyhound Trish's Bebe) and Sebastian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tenderhearts Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Oh Hilda, I remember Hip! :cry1 I also remember how excited you said Todd was when he was finally able to adopt him. Please pass my condolences on to Todd. May God hold his aching heart in his hands. Run free, you handsome boy, and I'm glad you found your forever home, even though your time there was too short!

Ohmygosh how excited that guy was! They would come to the kennels (2 hr drive or more) and he'd go straight back there to see Hip...then he'd come back in the office to see me, Cynde, Hurricane & Jan. He would stand & talk to Hurricane about the collar he wanted for Hip some day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoPups Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I feel so bad about this, and especially bad for Todd. He'd wanted a dog, specifically Hip, for such a long time. Last time I saw Todd, all he could talk about was Hip. In the end, though, they gave Hip a home and Hip gave Todd love and happiness, even if it was just for three months.
