Trekkysmom7 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I would like to say good-bye to the most special greyhound. Monty only came into my life about 3 weeks ago. He was one of 3 senior greyhounds returned from a family at the same time. Monty was a wonderful foster at my house. He was perfect. Unfortunately, he started to have some issues walking and then became incontinent of both stool and urine. We went to the vet and x-rays showed cancer in his spine. I officially adopted him and bought him a Big Boy collar and ID tag so that he would know that he was loved and had a home. He declined rapidly and I helped him over the bridge on Monday April 7 as he no longer seemed to be enjoying life. He is now pain free and running with the other bridge angels. Unfortunately, one of the other senior greyhounds that was returned from this family was found to have a rectal tumor that was diagnosed as cancer. His foster home will be helping him through the remainder of his time. The good news is that the third greyhound returned from this family is healthy and has found a new and wonderful forever home!! Monty was only with me a few weeks but has left a huge hole in my heart. He was a wonderful and very special greyhound. I just want to tell him one more time how special he was and that he was very much loved by his family and that we miss him and hope to see him again someday. --Kim S. with greyhounds Trekky and Trixie and Kirby and Watson and Angel Monty Quote www.Lindasgreys.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
