Bevd Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 It's three years almost to the minute, since I had to make that final call to the vet Maddison. We got some of your favourite treats today and the dogs ate them in your memory. We've also listened to your song far too many times today. (Listen here - http://www.last.fm/music/Coldplay/_/Fix+You ) Lyrics When you try your best but you don't succeed When you get what you want but not what you need When you feel so tired but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone but it goes to waste Could it be worse? Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you And high up above and down below When you're too in love to let it go But if you never try you'll never know Just what you're worth Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones I will try to fix you Tears stream down your face When you lose something you cannot replace Tears stream down your face And i Whoo owoo wo..aa a a a aaa Tears stream down your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes Tears stream down your face And i Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you Remembering you as always Maddison - 22nd May 2001 - 13th July 2005 (lost to bone cancer) Click here to see Maddisons video montage, with sound http://www.onetruemedia.com/otm_site/view_...tm_medium=image Quote Deerhounds Darcy, Duffy, Grace & Wellington, Mutts Sprout & Buddy, Lurchers Ned & Jake plus Ella the Westie + cats.

JedsMom Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 It's hard to believe it's been three years. I remember when he was a puppy and charter member of the HHC. Sweet Maddison. He was such a special boy. Quote Daisy & Eli, the crazy hounds, and Bella & Zoe, the curly kitties,and Jed (10.30.98 - 11.28.08) & Ripple (3.25.99 - 8.20.09) together again at the bridgewith Cleo-Kitty (10.8.1988 - 7.26.2007) always in my heart.

Devotion Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) what a moving video that is. Maddison was stunning! My bridge boy, Hans, looked almost identical but didn't have the white stripe from his head down like your Maddison. He had the softest hair. I love Coldplay!!! When Scooter went to the bridge on March 10th of this year, my vet made me a video of Scooter to Coldplay's Fix You too. It's such a perfect song about how lights will guide you home and I will try to fix you. We would do anything to be able to do that. thanks for sharing Maddison's video with us all! Prayers for peace and comfort as you remember Maddison today and always...

2_Lazygreys Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Maddison was one of the first dogs I fell in love with in this "online" community. The day you posted the tremors...I cried, the day he left of I bawled. Thank you for making this day full of treats and remembrance in his memory.

Fiona3 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Maddison - so special, so loved and so young. Oh, Bev, his beautiful tribute brought tears to my eyes. His passing was heartbreaking. What the video does show is how much he was cherished and how happy his life was in his brief time with you. Thank you for sharing this touching remembrance of a truly unforgettable greyhound with us.

MerlinsMum Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) I never met or read about Maddison as I only joined GT last year... but I have a huge lump in my throat right now, after reading your post and watching the video. Bev, what a wonderful, wonderful tribute video. Maddison was just beautiful beyond words. And way, way too young when you lost him :weep :grouphug Edited July 14, 2008 by merlinsmum Quote Kerry with Lupin in beautiful coastal Maine.
