Guest Peanut Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 It's with a broken heart and many tears we've said good bye to Sassy. Over the last week, I've been away from home. My husband has been doing a good job taking care of Sassy. Well, Friday night she won't come in from her walk. She won't walk up the steps. Once her finally gets her upstairs, she is panting heavy and wants to be in front of the fan. As the night progressed, she seemed to get disorientated and got herself stuck on the steps. He got her back to her bed and blocked of the steps so she wouldn't get stuck again. Saturday morning she seemed a little better. As the day progressed she seem to be panting less, resting more, and eating okay. This morning, she could not straighten out when she stood. She was shaking horrible and was panting to the point of being hoarse. I came home and we rushed her to the ER vet. She had a temp of 105 and was in pain upon exam. She had a history of pinched nerve in her neck. The last episode was in the spring and a trip to the acupuncture seemed to take care of it. This time things were worse and much more intense. Blood work showed that everything was in "normal" limits for a greyhound. She was is so much pain and discomfort, we couldn't let her suffer any more. We let her run free.... To be with all my other greyhounds that have gone before her. It seems so very strange to not have her at home. To not have her peek her nose around the corner to look for me. To not have her get excited when she hears the car alarm beep. We are now a home without a greyhound. 10 years of greyhounds and many a greyhound through my door, I never thought this day would come. Be free my Sasasfras!! Mommy misses you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rycezmom Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 You will see her from the corner of your eye in the places that she loved to be. You will hear the click of her nails on the floor when the the house is quiet and you are alone. She will come to you in the softest of memories when you least expect it. She may no longer be physicaly there but she is not gone. She is still there with you, settled comfortably in your heart in that place that is hers alone. L.
