Sirocco_Nikki Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I tried to come up with words that would adequately memorialize Sirocco but they just don't exist. Sirocco was a study of contrasts. He could be amazingly sweet but he could also be a snarky little toot. He excelled at obedience training and had a recall to make the angels sing. However, he would also snitch the food from a starving person's mouth and never feel a moment of remorse. He was confident, cheeky, and bold ------ as long as mom or dad was close by. Sirocco would gaze at my face adoringly after he was finished laughing at me behind my back. (All those years I lifted him into the van when all I had to do was say "in" instead of "up".) But more than anything, Sirocco was just my boy. He joined our family when I couldn't shake my grief over the loss of my beloved brat, Polly. He brought laughter and healing to my life with his smiles and audacious antics. However, his greatest gift was that he taught me about the amazing power of greyhounds. Cancer gave the Heavenly-Bridge-Food-Filching Team another star player today. Run fast, sleep well, and snitch carbs, Sirocco, until we are together again.

Batmom Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 My heart is with your family today. Sirocco, by now you're romping in whole fields of doughnuts, bread, ham sandwiches. When your tummy is full, give your sister Zema a kiss for me, and send your momma a kiss on the wind. I know she'll never forget you. Godspeed.
