rycezmom Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 There are hounds out there that touch our lives in a very special way. It sounds like your Grandpa was just such a hound in your lives. It causes us such pain to say goodby but pain is the price we pay for love. And the love they give us is well worth the pain of havong to say goodbye. He has left his pawprint on your heart, right in the special place that is his. And there he shall remain. Thank you for sharing Grandpa's story. We hope that your heart heals on the wings of his memory. L.

greyhead Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 A wonderful tribute, a spectacular houndie, and the best family imaginable for him. After the first grey I picked out got sent somewhere else by mistake, and I was crushed, our adoption counselor told me that you get the dog you're supposed to have. I didn't want to hear that New Age stuff right then, but it turned out to be as true for us (another story, for a different time) as it clearly was for you. Though your heart is broken now, and I'm crying with you, I'm happy for the wonderful life you gave each other. And I can't thank you enough for sharing Grandpa's story.

onrushpam Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Awww... Run like the wind, Grandpa. You are a special one! BTW, your old trainer now takes very good care of all the adoption doggies in our kennel!
