Guest Mom2Gr8dawgs Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 When I got home from work today, Dennis had just let Striper out in the yard. I went out to check on him, I found that he had fallen and couldn't get up. I tried to help him, but he had lost all control of his back legs. We loaded him in the van and took him to the emergency vet. By the time we got there, he couldn't really control his front legs, either, and during this entire ordeal, he was sort of unaware. I had brought along liver treats, poor fella took one in his mouth, but couldn't figure out how to eat it. ( The vet examined him and from his symptoms, was almost certain that Striper had a brain tumor. We released him from the old body that he could no longer contol. He left peacefully with his head cradled in my lap. Striper was our first Greyhound, and was adopted a little over 6 years ago. He was always happy, alway full of energy, and alway looking for trouble, and FOOD! This sweet sweet boy lived life to the fullest every day. He is the reason that I became hooked on Greyhounds, and has added more joy to my life that I would have imagined possible. Run free Bubba! We'll miss you!
