GreyhoundNan Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Just came across this thread and even though MaryPippin already posted my two losses...I felt like I needed to say something about them. Profile, Mo Tivator, 5 June 1995 - 12 January 2007 Profile was my protector, my sweetheart, my silly boy. He was a therapy dog and a show-stopping performer. Some of you may have caught our accidental comedy routine at SP 2006? Two time foster, long time love, I miss him every day and would give anything to have him still here with me. Stoopid Cancer. Franny, my precious little kitty girl, 21 March 1994 - 27 January 2007 I got Franny and her littermate Zooey (21 March 1994 -17 March 2006) when I moved to WV for my internship in 1994. Franny never really liked me as much as I liked her, mostly because I wasn't male...but she was still my precious silly kitty girl and I miss her yowling at me for breakfast in the mornings. Franny declined rapidly after her brother and protector, Zooey died, and I take comfort knowing that they are pouncing on each other and playing in the sunshine together at the bridge.

Guest greyhounds4us Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 OBSIE (3/27/99 - 10/25/07) We lost our first adopted greyhound, Obsie (Greys Obstructor) within 48 hours of a heart tumor diagnosis. He came into our lives at 22 months of age and he graced our lives for almost 7 years. We adopted his littermate sister, Off Ramp, eight months after him and then his littermate brother, Octagon, five months after her. Because of Obsie, we have adopted and fostered many greyhounds and volunteer most of our free time to greyhound rescue and adoption. He was the sweetest, gentlest boy you could ever meet. Our hearts still break every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest luckydog Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) My dear sweet Lucky (a mutt) who kept me company for 14 years, almost to the day. You were found cowering at 5 weeks of age next to a dumpster in the middle of a Kansas ice storm, but never again knew cold or hunger. You laid waste the myth that all small dogs are yappy. Jed (Jedidiah)--our first greyhound who lived with us only 6 days before the horrid week at the vet's. You previous owner probably did not give you the care you needed and we did not know your medical needs. You did die loved and as a pet and not as an abandoned greyhound. I still have your picture as my screensaver. Edited January 15, 2008 by luckydog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GotGreys2 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I lost my brother-in-law and one of my best friends, Ryan, on April 30, 2007, he committed suicide at the age of 26. I lost my heart & soul boy Turbo January 9, 2008, he paved the way for Blue & Rambo and all greyhounds in our future. Now Ryan has a dog by his side at the Bridge and now I know neither one is lonely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest msteele Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) Cooper; racing name DG's Boogie Man. 1/28/98-10/22/07. My heart dog, who I miss more than I can say. I can never seem to upload pictures, so here's a link to Rosnet, with a picture of him at one of his favorite places, the dog park. Cooper taught us the joy of greyhounds, and it will forever be in his honor that we bring others into our home. He was truly a gem of a dog. http://www.greyhound-data.com/d?z=gxf9P7&a...%27s+boogie+man Edited January 15, 2008 by msteele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skinnydog Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Clarence left September 24, 2007. I don't even know if his owners are on the board, but I'm going to post it here Andy was my first foster. We were going to keep him, but decided to keep fostering instead. Clarence was the first foster after Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KatieGrey Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I almost forgot to include two of my previous fosters, Scottie and Septima. They both passed away last year. Scottie was a beautiful red and white hound that would smile when he got excited. Septima was a goofy black hound that had the silliest quirks. It's sad to think about, but all 3 hounds featured in the TV show that was filmed at our house passed away last year You can see all of them in a picture on the webspage (scroll down, it's the second photo).

Guest GreysAndMoreGreys Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I've looked at this thread and continued to read it and just haven't been strong enough to post my losses.... I still don't feel strong enough but here I go 2007 was THE WORST year of my life Jan 8 2007 Dave (Dave S Sport) is the day we said our goodbyes On Jan 24 2007 Weenie left our lives and on Jun 1 2007 Cassie also said her goodbyes to join her sister Weenie across the rainbow bridge My life has been blessed to share the time I have with these 3 amazing hounds and they leave a huge hole in my heart and my home. Life is just not the same without them to share it with me. They say time eases the pain and I often find myself wondering when will the pain lessen, cause I'm still waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdogs Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'm so sorry for everyone's losses - so many beautiful souls... When I think of all the greyhounds at the bridge, this is image I see.

Guest PhillyPups Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 They say time eases the pain and I often find myself wondering when will the pain lessen, cause I'm still waiting I am still waiting for the day that the pain of losing my most beloved Runner is not still raw, and it is almost 6 years since he left my side during a M&G to race in the wind. The pain is the price we pay for the love we feel. If we didn't care, we would not hurt, but my song to them all is The Dance, and I would not have missed one step of the dance. to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryhnd_adoptee Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 My empathy is with you, you indeed have a very bad year! Our Willa girl left us suddenly in July '07, not far behind my Dad who also left suddenly in March '07. I don't think the pain ever gets healed with time. All we can do is to learn how to live without them physically in our lives anymore. We learn eventually to hold the happy memories close in our hearts which is what keep me going. Count the blessings you have today, hug those that are with us at the moment, and be very thankful that we had the time we did with all the ones we lost. For it is the love we had with them that makes us what, and who we are today. Without hearts filled with love, we would just...........be. I've looked at this thread and continued to read it and just haven't been strong enough to post my losses.... I still don't feel strong enough but here I go 2007 was THE WORST year of my life Jan 8 2007 Dave (Dave S Sport) is the day we said our goodbyes On Jan 24 2007 Weenie left our lives and on Jun 1 2007 Cassie also said her goodbyes to join her sister Weenie across the rainbow bridge My life has been blessed to share the time I have with these 3 amazing hounds and they leave a huge hole in my heart and my home.

Guest dogrunner04 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Twiga -- April 7, 1997 - April 28, 2007. My heart is still broken over losing my beautiful, sweet girl. Bowie and I miss you every day on our walks, and I miss your excitement for every new day, and your greetings whenever I would return home. We try to go on, but sometimes it is just so sad without you. Bob the cat--Summer of 1993- April 18, 2007. A very brave and tough cat. Never complained about insulin injections, or trips to the vet for blood tests, but it seemed the diabetes just wore him down. I hope I never have another 10 day period like April of 2007, as I don't think I could stand it. I lost my 2 best friends. I wish I knew how to post their pictures, as Twiga was such a beautiful girl, and so sweet, and Bob was a very handsome looking cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
