I'm so sorry. It is so hard to say goodbye, but he got to pass peacefully in a comfortable place. Godspeed Dowland. f_yellow

Run free Dowland. I am not yet a greyhound owner, but hope to be soon. I lost my last doggie eight months ago so I feel your pain. I know there is a Rainbow Bridge and I'm sure Dowland is there playing with my Echo. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. :f_red

I don't know that you can ask for more......a long and happy life and a peaceful passing. I know you'll miss him - I'm so very sorry for you :grouphug

Amen. Beautifully said.

Ditto.

 

I am so very sorry for your loss...

I am so sorry for your loss. Run free sweet Dowland. That is my wish for all of mine, to go peacefully in a warm sunbeam knowing how much they are loved.

Isaac & Jeff - I'm so sorry Dowland had to leave you. He was a sweetie - quiet & unassuming but demanding pets in his own way. I'll miss him too.

I am so sorry for your loss. Dowland crossed the bridge in the same dignified way in which he lived. He will be sending you a sign..............it will be subtle and dignified, just like he was. You can count on it.

Aren't Greyhounds funny with all the kind of things they get up to? Your wonderful story of Dowland's life brought tears and smiles to my eyes, trying to remember all those things that I remember about my two dearly departed ones. You will no doubt get a response from Dowland as he runs free with all the others who waited for him over the bridge. I had a quick flash one day when our latest rescue, Maggie, walked past me just within my sight and I immediately thought that this was my Rocky, who died a year ago, until I looked over at Maggie and saw her doing the same stance as Rocky would do. Memories are so much appreciated and if the tears have to flow, let them do so. My codolences are with you and Dowland, may his memories always be with you.

So very sorry for your loss.

 

Although it hurts right now, must be of some comfort to know Dowland had a quiet, painless and peaceful journey.....

 

 

 

Run free our beloved Sir Snowy, Pip, Queenie, Sadie, Tess & Rosie until we meet again......I would rather feel the thorn than to never see the rose

My partner, Jeff, has written a very nice tribute to Dowland in his blog.

There's also a lovely pic of Dowland from his 13th birthday, this past June.

Again, many thanks for your words of comfort and sympathy.
