Guest SueG201 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) Today my dear friend John lost his battle with osteosarcoma, he was my greyhound mentor back in the 90's and taught me everything I needed to know when I adopted my first greyhound, it is weird that he lost his life to the same cancer so many of our beloved greys have succumbed to. He leaves behind a wife Annie and three greyhounds, he was my friend who adopted "Girlie" last spring She was he greyhound that was hit by a car in Ny and left to die on the side of the road, and when I reached out to him he said " of course we will take her in" Tonight there are thousands of greyhounds waiting at the bridge to meet one of the kindest, gentle person I had the pleasure to know and love, RIP my friend until we meet again Edited August 24, 2010 by SueG201 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
