I am so sorry for your loss. :candle:grouphug

Your story and tribute to Mattie is the most beautiful expression of love there could ever be. :grouphug

Godspeed Mattie...run with the angels. :gh_run

Greyhound angels at the bridge- Casey, Charlie, Maggie, Molly, Renie, Lucy & Teddy. Beagle angels Peanut and Charlie. And to all the 4 legged Bridge souls who have touched my heart, thank you. When a greyhound looks into you eyes it seems they touch your very soul.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Mattie sounds like a wonderful girl and I hope she is running with my Bridge Angel Daphne and all the other wonderful Greys we've loved and lost.

hi all. this will probably be my last post for a while (at least until another greyhound comes into our lives). i just wanted to say again thank you so much for your support during this incredibly difficult time in my life. i directed my husband to the forum so he could read all of your thoughts and prayers and he really appreciated it too.

last night was hard. the first few days were sort of a relief, because mattie had been so sick and struggling so much for a long time. but now that my house is cleaned up and things have returned to normal, i find myself missing my girl a lot. i miss her warm little body curled up next to me at night (even though mattie wouldn't hurt a fly, it was so comforting having her there if i got scared. i FELT protected, even if i really wasn't). i miss the way she hopped around before a walk, and the squeak she made every time she yawned. i miss those big brown eyes following me around the room (they were so expressive!) and i miss the way she smelled (mattie never smelled bad, not once in the five years we had her). i still can't believe she's really gone...

i wish you all happy and healthy times with your hounds! they deserve all the love in the world, don't they?

all my best,

mara

mara, i'm sorry to read about mattie, and everything that you, your husband, and mattie went through. i hope you and your husband will cross paths with another greyhound sooner than later.

the squeak she made every time she yawned.

 

I'm sitting here digging into the box of kleenex now. My Joseph does that. Your mentioning it brought home to me again what you must be feeling now. Hope very much that time will take the edge off your sorrow, and that you'll dream only the sweetest dreams of your perfect squeaky girl.
