BrGreyhndz Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Hard to believe so much time has passed since Nate, our first greyhound, walked into our home and hearts. For Nate it was love at first sight. He picked us and he was right. He was my heart and soul. I always knew when he was happy, sad, needed something and when he got cancer I knew it was there...somewhere...before he showed any signs. He taught me so much over the years. He is the reason we started feeding our dog raw. We learned how much fun it could be to train your dog, we got back into the woods for long hikes, we met some many wonderful people. He slept with us every night, starting the night at the bottom of the bed and I would wake up every morning with his head on my shoulder. We witnessed the thrill of watching a greyhound run for the joy of it- he was a dog who loved to race. When we did play group he would howl if he wasn't out for his run- even if he just finished running 6 fast laps of the ball field. As someone once said to me- "that Nate- he sure loves to run". He is the reason we live with three greyhounds now and he is the reason that so many people who thought they wanted little female greyhounds changed their minds and requested a dog like Nate after we did our home visit with them. We miss him everyday.

Guest Tenderhearts Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I'll never forget the first pictures I saw of Nate (and Chloe too). I don't think the ache ever completely goes away when they are gone :grouphug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Snowy8 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Bless your heart...I know exactly what you're feeling right now. I know that Nate is nestled warmly in your heart & the memory of him will NEVER go away. He was a true love in your life! Have peace in knowing that he loved you more than life itself. He's running around in that big baseball field in the sky made just for greyhounds, he's sleeping on fluffy clouds, chasing butterflies & is in awe of the rainbows. You know we're all here for you, Hilda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HJsM Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I'm so sorry for your loss. Nate has helped a lot of hounds as you are a raw activist because of him and have provided many of us with a valuable way to learn from the Yahoo list Naturally Grey. Thanks Nate and rest.

BrGreyhndz Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 Nate left us several years ago. His gotcha day was yesterday- like his birthday and the day we lost him- these are days I always remember with a little sadness and always grateful I got to spend even a short time with him.
