ozgirl2 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) Wanted to do a Remembrance of my Cody girl - it's a few days early so I won't forget to do it on the 28th... I picked up Cody when she was 4, from the same haul as some friends' 2nd grey. When I got her home, I called them and said "I have my greyhound!" and they said "Which crate was she in?" I said - the end one on the top... and there was silence! I found out LATER that Cody was the loudest one there when they went to pick out Cleo!! SHe wouldn't stop barking and scratching at the front of the crate - and she had one PIERCING bark too!! (Didn't read the rule books, I guess...) Anyway, after being told she'd be fine with my cat, I took her home & inside the house- and good thing she was on leash with a muzzle 'cause she LUNGED at the cat, staring & drooling! (If I'd known then what I know now, I'd probably have returned her that day...) She was VERY hard to cat-train - took years and years and even then, they only had a truce! She was my first dog (and my only so far) - and what a good girl she was! (Apart from the cat, the leather-chewing, the counter surfing... um.. well, she was MOSTLY good! ) She was a top notch roacher, huge chatterer and whoofer-of-jowls (and those are what I still miss most...), loved her walks (3 times a day no matter the weather), LOVED food (even though, with her stomach, she couldn't eat very many things!), loved rides in the car, HATED wearing Halloween costumes, and was a great first!! I do still miss her but it's with a fond smile now (at least if I can avoid thinking about her last week... everyone here will understand that without elaboration...) and someday she'll show me my new grey - just not right now! Keep runnin' free at the bridge, Cody girl - and show all the newbies around, eh? (I'll add pix once I'm at work - easier there...) Edited.. 'cause I spelled her name wrong in the title!! (typo I didn't catch when I re-read the post..)

I'm convinced Sophia met Cody at the bridge & they've been causing havoc ever since!! here are some pix... The dreaded Halloween costume!! Ok, well... just a HAT is OK... In the snow with her favorite pal, Elmo And her other favorite, the brown ball In the coat that Mo (TinyMityMo) made for her!! In all her cuteness...\ And her big smile (I really miss that too...) (Smile out-take!!) I have millions more but that will do it for now...

Hawthorn Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Quote When a relationship of love is disrupted, the relationship does not cease. The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues. 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...

So glad you have many happy memories...I love her pics Quote Jan with precious pups Emmy (Stormin J Flag) and Simon (Nitro Si) and Abbey Field.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfish Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 She was a beautiful girl, Jeannine. I'm sorry I never met her, I'm sure I would have loved her to bits! I remember you saying how you couldn't clean the nose prints off your car, and as you know, I still have Renie's on mine. Cody looked quite a lot like Renie, didn't she? And yet nothing much in common on GH data! Sorry I missed her Bridge Day, but I'm sending her kisses and scritches anyway and hugs to you!
