Guest 4rooers Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) What can I say about the perfect greyhound? Ozzie was my dog from the minute I saw him. On March 1,2008 his owners brought him to the Petsmart meet-n-greet to surrender him because he didn't "suit their lifestyle" anymore.I couldn't believe someone could give up their dog like that. He was devastated when he figured out he wasn't going home again. Sara(greytlady)opened her heart and took him to the kennel. He struggled with his grief and wouldn't eat. We all worried that he was just going to fade away. I took some stew and he ate! On June 6,2008 Sara gave the best gift I will ever receive, she let me bring Ozzie home. He settled right in and I knew I had found my once in a lifetime companion. Over the past week he started to struggle with eating and pain, and the acupuncture, herbs and supplements weren't helping anymore. His back legs weren't able to support him very well, and on his walk Thursday night he fell. He kept looking at me as if to say" don't take my pride away from me",for he was a proud, stoic man.I wish I could have had many more years with him, but no amount of time would have been enough with this sweet boy. Pa's Lee Oswald was a great racer and the love of my life. He went quietly on his bed with me holding him and telling him how very much I loved him. My heart is broken and I will miss him until the day I can join him. I am trying very hard not to second guess my decision to let him go. I know in my heart it was time, but it doesn't make it any easier. I made a video to share of my amazing boy. I hope you will watch and celebrate my Ozzie. I know he is surrounded by all the greyhounds who have gone before.

Guest PhillyPups Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I am so very sorry for your loss. You gave him the hardest gift we can give our hounds, the gift of loving them enough to let them go peacefully with their dignity and grace. My heart is breaking with you. Run with the angels sweet Ozzie, you are with the very very best. ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
