Guest Vinnie Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 No sad notes here, just a celebration New Orleans style of a beautiful & blessed family member, Genie! Thanks to you both for sharing her life with us here at GT and wherever you went. Thanks to Genie's story, we opened our hearts again hoping that we get a long time with our greyts after losing our Angel Vinnie at 14 months. Genie was an inspiration for so many and I loved sharing her story with others. I know that the Rainbow Bridge is going to be especially bright today as it welcomes it's newest Angel. Hugs to you and scritches to Eddie. Run free sweet Genie, thanks for loving so much for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wmlcml6 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I just read this with a start and got chill bumps. I admit I didn't read all of "Genie's" posts, but I always thought she was a great positive greyhound story and seemed such a sweetheart. I'm sure her spirit will live on through you and her admirers. Be in Peace with the Angels, Genie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyE Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Genie was such an inspiration. I hear of so many greys dying so young, but then I think of Genie and it gives me hope. Genie, sweetie, you lived your life to the fullest. You even attended a party on your last day. You left on your own terms. I will always remember you. Run free sweetie!

Guest greydogluvr Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I am so sorry. Her story is such an inspiration. I feel like I know her personally. She touched so many, near and far. What a lucky girl to have found you and how lucky for you to have found her. It sounds like she had a great last party. I wish we all could pass as easily as it sounds like she did. Run free sweet girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest trevdog Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'm so sorry to hear this....but we are truly in debt to such a wonderful ambassador to the greyhound community. I know several people that have adopted recently that are first time adopters after seeing Genie's story in the news. She will be missed by many....

You did an awesome job with her, and you contributed much to the greyhound community. Thank you so much! Job well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBass Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Neena, your attitude is a striking tribute to your wonderful girl Genie. To leave on her own terms, in her own bed, living her life 'til the very end. A fitting end to a well-lived life. May your loving memories of your girl comfort you and keep her ever near you in your hearts. --Lucy Quote Lucy with Greyhound Nate and OSH Tinker.

Guest DeweytheGreyt Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 A life well lived deserves to be celebrated! Genie certainly lived life to it's fullest and taught us all valuable lessons. Godspeed pretty girl, and thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeylasMom Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 In the grand scheme of things I'm still relatively new to GT and had only learned of Genie more recently, but what am amazing inspiration. I'm so glad that she was able to enjoy life up until her last moments and that she passed peacefully. She will certainly be missed by this community, as well as by her loving family.

Forevermybabies Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'm sure that you never imagined in your wildest dreams that you would have nine years with Genie. What an incredible life. I was just talking about her yesterday when I was telling someone how great Festus was doing. (He's 11.5) They wanted to know if greyhounds live much longer than that, and I mentioned Genie. She gives me hope that my boy can live another nine years. Thank you Genie! I hope you're having a GREYT time at the Bridge! And hugs to you, too.
