Cully Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 Six years ago today my heart broke for the first time. We had to help our first greyhound Van cross the bridge. We lost him to osteo. He is the reason that we still have greyhounds to this day. Every other greyhound that has entered our house has had some big paws to fill. He was just so special. I tell everyone that he either so "su**er or mom" written across my forehead. Van loved everyone and everyone loved Van. Van thank you for bring me into the world of greyhounds. Mommy & Grammy miss you. Quote waiting at the bridge Connie Van Teddy & Jojo, Cobra
brandimom Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 I love those pics and so glad you posted them. Sounds like he was certainly loved by a lot of people here on earth. Like you I remember the day and year my greys became bridge babies. Thoughts of you today............... Quote

nancy14 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I lost my first grey to osteo too. It is so sad. There has to be a cure soon for this awful disease. Your Van was a beautiful boy. I love the pictures. Quote From Wisconsin -- It's Nancy, Bob, Carla, June Bug and our newby Skorch.... along with Buffy. She's the little hound that meows. With loving memorials to K.C., Barko and Major Turn -- all playing at the bridge.
