Guest FullMetalFrank Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I know what it is like to not be able to get over the guilty feelings of "if only I'd have...." I guess eventually it just becomes a part of us; and that is why the dreams, I think it is our subconscious trying to make some sense of what we cannot. I think her running in to you was a way of showing that she never really left you, that she will always be with you, and also a reminder not to stop sharing her story so that others may be spared a similar tragedy.

robinw Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 To me the fact that she ran through at a full run and right into you means that she wanted to show you that she IS running free and happy and will always be with you. I think she was showing you that athough her body sustained a broken neck- the real her-the spirit- that you loved did not. Only the body died-she is still alive and happy inside you. That's what I got out of it-hope it helps. I completely agree with this. I do, too. Laurie and Robbie, I think of both of you often, as well as Emily and Iberia. We've all learned from your tragedies, I'm just so sorry that you both had to experience them and that you're both feeling such guilt after so many years. Quote Xavi the galgo and Peter the cat.

Hawthorn Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I'm another one who was grateful for your warning and because of it I put some transfers on our patio doors.

The work of grief is to reconcile and redeem life to a different love relationship. ~ W Scott Lineberry Always Greyhounds Home Boarding and Greyhounds With Love House Sitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Vinnie Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 We are so sorry that you had such a tragic loss for your beloved girl. I had not heard this before and never thought about clings on the slider (we had them all over high & low though for us as we don't always pay attention) - but it is a wonderful idea. For your dream, to me it speaks loudly - that this is not your fault, that she is always with you and was running full speed into your heart because you needed her. When a dream is that physical, it is just a reminder of how much you mean to each other and how important her life was for you and us gt'ers. Sending hugs and a special thank you. Run free sweet girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2greygirls Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 This is my opinion..She has been trying to get back into her home, to you, to her favorite place..she has been gone but a little uneasy..Not in a bad way, but she didn't understand why she couldn't reach you..To me, and I sometimes get strong feelings about these things..she ran right through, no barriers, right into you , where she will always be. I think it was a very good dream. It might have been your own feelings , left over guilty feelings turned up by replacing the door, that manifested it, or I think it was her..rejoining you at top speed at last.. Either way, I think she just wants you to know she's with you. They do send us things in the strangest way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyDoodle Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I think she was happy that you got rid of the doors that she was afraid of. Now that you have new doors, she could come back inside to rejoin you and your family. I, too, want to thank you for posting the reminder.

Burpdog Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) The other night, I dreamed I was standing by the French doors when they flew open and bright sunlight burst through to where I was standing. A half-second later, Emily came flying through at a full run and went into my body--not crashed into my body, but went inside it. I think that says it all It's a beautiful dream! It's also a reminder that when one door closes, another one opens up. I know how hard it is for you to post your yearly reminder, as you know how hard it is for me to post about Eliza every year. Share we must, it's the only way, for me at least, to make sense out of tragedy. Emily is fine, as is Eliza. It's you and I who suffer with guilt, earned or not.....it'll be gone when we see them again -- knowing how totally forgiving greyhounds are.... Sending prayers for peace and comfort to you, my friend. Edited October 3, 2008 by Burpdog Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElizabethGPAPS Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 With every home visit I remind adopters about the danger of glass doors and we talk about stickers and clings. I tell them Emily's story and it really drives the point home. You have saved lives with your reminders - please don't stop posting them. I for one would like to see a pinned article for newbies about common household hazards.

Guest MZH Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 She ran into your heart; what a lovely thought to hold onto. Here's an "oldie" asking you to please keep posting about sliding doors. We'd had greyhounds for 25 years when we got Rita, yet I forgot to put something on the slider the day we brought her home. Sure enough; as soon as I took off the leash she ran off and hit the slider. Thank God she wasn't hurt but to this day, she hates to go through doors or even doorways. Yes, quarterly posts would be good; we all need a reminder from time to time! Marcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
