Guest joedogs_mom Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) It's been one week since you left us. I can not tell you how much we miss you. The house is quiet...too quiet. How I miss you following us around the house. How I miss you putting your head in our laps. I miss your furry tail, your velvety-ears, your "catfish" whiskers, and the unmistakable pitter-patter of your toenails on the hardwood floors. You opened our hearts to the world of Greyhounds and moved us to adopt Fred, John, and Coco. Who knew you would occupy such a huge portion of our hearts? From the day we brought you over the bridge in my old Altima and into our home just 5 years ago to what would become your last days in our house, you left a lasting impression on us. You will never be forgotten, and I'm just so sorry that life became less fun for you as our pack grew and Pierce came along. Rest assured, if I could do anything to bring you back, I would. I really would. Rest in peace, canine love of our lives. Amazing athlete, loyal companion, gentlest soul, squirrel patrol. Our first born, beloved big brother, born to run, so much fun. Patient and forgiving, heart of gold, way too young, the perfect mold. Stuffy killer, big beatiful eyes, from head to toe, you were marvelous Joe. Greyt ambassadog and furry beast, you will be missed to say the least. Joe (in the middle) and his littermates John and Fred. The good ol' days: Taken just a few days before we parted with him: You deserve so much more than this silly post, Joe. I have so many wonderful pics to upload some day. You will never be forgotten. http://greyhound-data.com/d?z=gfey2f&d=baba%27s+joe Edited December 3, 2008 by joedogs_mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pipi5 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Laura, I'm so sorry you're going through this pain...I can honestly say I know how you feel. If I can do anything, please let me know. Sometime before the holidays, I'll try to get a fun run together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest joedogs_mom Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Thanks, Hilda. We picked Joe's ashes up from Dr. Pearce's this morning - I knew I would lose it. But, I actually am so glad we did this...I always thought people were FREAKS for doing this kind of thing but now I TOTALLY understand...I am THAT person with my dog's ashes in a box in my house...and I LOVE it. Our crew would probably love a fun run...a chance for them to have some fun for once! Thanks for your sweet thoughts as always...it is very helpful knowing there are others who have gone through this and I will forever feel like a schmuck for not being there for you and others when y'all have lost pets. I get it now -- I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhead Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 So very sorry about Joe. Glad that having his ashes is comforting to you. We have three what we call cat-in-a-box(s)! I'm really grateful for the pictures you showed here, especially the one of Joe with your baby. Thanks for sharing.
