cowpantslady Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Lisa President of Grateful Greyhounds wanted all of you who loved and supported Daphne and Henry Hi everyone, Tough, strong willed, curious, scrappy, aloof...these are some of the words I can use to describe Daphne. It was because of her fighting spirit that she survived the hell of her adopters until she was 13 yrs old,and made such a remarkable recovery as the greyhound community worldwide watched. We have enjoyed witnessing Daphne thrive in our care, from almost dead to strong and sturdy. On thursday, 8/23/07, surrounded by her biggest fans, Daphne crossed the rainbow bridge. She died from old age as her organs were no longer functioning as they should. Her liver, not detectable on an x-ray, was not able to filter toxins any longer and her body had lost much weight. Finally, she lost the use of her back legs and walking and sniffing was not longer possible for her. We have tears for her loss, but a smile for her life. We have been privileged to be the people responsible for her everyday care. It has been an honor to join Daphne on this journey, one of life and death.

Guest CorbysMom Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 My friend, Sue, found out about them. She called me and I contacted my friend, Lisa Sallie of Grateful Greyhounds. The rest as they say, is history. You all followed Daphne and Henry's journey from the beginning and rooted them on as they walked the road to recovery. That road has come to the end for the last little senior, Daphne. Farewell, little D. You were - and are - very, very loved.

Guest vahoundlover Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Daphne, you are so loved and will be missed greatly! As a member of a community that shed many tears over you and then you brought so many smiles to our faces as you grew stronger and became a member of a real family, we again shed tears in sadness and in comfort that you went to the Bridge knowing the meaning of love and kindness.

Guest Carla Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Oh no, such sad news. I remember vividly Daphne & Henry's saga. They were lucky to have greyhound people rally around them and show them the love and kindness they deserved. Sadly for us they are now reunited and running together again. They are whole and happy once again. Godspeed Sweet Daphne - you are sadly missed by the entire GreyTalk family. :f_pink :f_pink Hugs, Carla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilysmom Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Daphne, you are now with Henry and will never be seperated again, both whole and healthy to run like the wind. We all loved you so. Thank you for letting us know but most of all a million thanks to those who cared for Daphne and Henry and made their last few years wonderful, loving years. Quote Praying for all the missing greys!

maximum Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I'm so thankful that Daphne and Henry's final years were amongst those who loved them, that they had the opportunity to forget the earlier years. I hope their families know how special their gift to these two were. Run, play, have fun together puppers... :grouphug :grouphug Quote My boys, together again...
