Guest Tenderhearts Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I lost my beloved Skittle at the tender age of 5. I have tried and tried to put together a video in honor of her memory, but it's still too raw, even after a year. I did find the packet of all the puppy pictures her original mom took as she was fostering pregnant momma dog and subsequently helped whelp that litter. I have them scanned, but they are on my pc that is being repaired right now. I will add them to this post, and perhaps a few more pictures when I get the computer back. I think it's no small coincidence that Randy, Amber, and I are going to a gathering of greyhound friends later today. Randy will be able to see the wonderful people who tended him the 2 1/2 years he was at Race The Wind, waiting for someone to adopt him. Randy was inconsolable after losing his cuddle buddy, his beloved pitbull sister. He has healed, and I hope eventually I will too. I am looking forward to laughter, love, and making new friends today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greyt2love Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Devon, I remember when you lost Skittles. I was just lurking then, but had been doing so for quite some time, and saw all the stories of her. May your heart remember all the good times even as you make new memories to day .

Guest Snowy8 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I still have a hard time wrapping my brain around this one...she was so full of life. Its comforting to know though that when my pups crossed the bridge, she was one of the ones meeting & greeting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest formercatlady Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 WOW - I cannot believe it has been a year I miss the Fruitbat stories, but I'm sure it doesn't compare to how you feel I hope you had a good time today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vahoundlover Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Where does the time go? I can't believe it's been a year. Skittle, you beautiful vibrant crazy girl, I still can't believe your gone. So many of your GT friends have since joined you at the Bridge...I know you all are wooping it up and having a big time. When you get the chance send your mom a whisper.

Guest KateWantsaGrey Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 It was such a huge shock the day I read that the fruit bat had passed away. I remember being blown away. I still am. And I am so sorry for your loss, some times a year can still feel like yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyGirlInOz Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Has it been a year already? Definitely one of the most memorable characters on GT. She is sorely missed Quote "Hurricane Sandi" (Baurna to Run). Forever missing my "Angel-With-A Crooked-Halo" Hailey, and "Mokkah" (Xpress Point) with all my heart.
