Guest VelvetEars Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I'm so sorry to hear his journey with you came to an end. It sounds like he had a marvelous life with you and obviously knew he was loved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhoundlov Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Vinnie crossed the bridge today less than three months before his 14th birthday. When I came home from shopping, he got up with the others to greet me. Then, all of a sudden, his hind legs both gave out and he fell on his butt. He tried to get up and couldn't. He did manage to crawl a few feet to a bed. I thought that he might have sprained a leg and decided just to watch him carefully. Later, he tried to get up again and could not. I tried using a sling to help him and it was obvious that he was in a lot of pain. With the help of a neighbor, we carried Vinnie out to my car in a comforter and I took him to the emergency clinic. The doctor examined Vinnie and told me that he had severe nerve damage to both legs and would never be able to stand again. Also, he had a heart problem for his heart was beating very rapidly and sporadically. She said that the humane thing to do would be to let him go. I expected that news. So, Vinnie, a sweet, friendly, happy-go-lucky guy who was never bothered by any thing or anyone, is now waiting for me on the other side. I adopted him from Marilyn of Greyhound Adoptions of Florida while I was still living in Houston. Vinnie was flown to me on the maiden voyage of a Piper Cub; thanks to a suggestion by Burpdog. Vinnie had the same name as I and we certainly were soul mates. What I will miss most is his nightly ritual: after turnout at 10, I would give everyone a biscuit. Vinnie would remain in the kitchen and nestle up to me and we would spend several minutes together as I hugged, petted, and spoke with him. Then he would follow me to bed. Tonight will be very difficult for me. I am conforted by knowing that he had a long life and we had many good years together. And, we will be together for all eternity. Godspeed, my friend! You are one of God's loving and loved creatures. You are my special friend. There is no cross that love won't bear. I miss you terribly but your spirit will always live in my heart and thoughts. Go in peace, my prince. Oh, Vince, I am so sorry! This just bites. Quote Mary in Houston Everyone has a photographic memory, but not everyone has film.
