HopeForHounds Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) After a quiet night and day, Miz Foxy gently left us at 5:00 pm. Foxy ruled our home for 8 years and 10 months, so confidently and gently the poor boys never figured it out. Foxy was our first greyhound and we didn't have a clue what an impact she would have one our lives. One that is firmly entrenched in the world of greyhounds. Outside the house, Foxy was regal, serious, at attention. She had a job to do - get greyhounds adopted. At home that serious demeanor disappeared and we shared our lives with a happy, silly, shoe collector extraordinaire. Her cancer led me to start Hope for Hounds, she kept me focused. I am grateful to have had her company for the past 8 1/2 years, and for the four extra years we had in which she taught me about strength, patience and determination. I promised her that I will keep working to raise money to find better treatments, and ultmately find a cure. Godspeed my sweet angel, until we meet again.
