6greyhounds Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 Thank you Mary and myself are going to try and go to a reunion today if nothing pops up that prevents us from going. You try to remember the good things but then the other image comes to mind of how they suffered and how much weight they lost from this dreadful disease. Praying they find a cure so others do not have to suffer and tha is for our beloved greyhounds also Quote It is better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at allMissing my Big Blue eyed Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PhillyPups Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Beryl I cannot imagine the burden of the losses you carry. I am sure your twins would want you to celebrate the good times in life, and know they are no longer suffering. I will keep you in our prayers.

Fiona3 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Beryl, my heart goes out to you on this difficult day.

6greyhounds Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 Thank you all - I will try and keep busy today - just told Tina about the baby aspirin caper that was pulled by Sandi who had climbed up on a very high cabinet and took a bottle of unopened baby aspirin and ate them all - she was about 2 at the time. Al opened up his mouth and pointed to it and said not me Mom and pointed to Sandi say it her not me. Her mouth was as orange as orange could be but not a trace in him. Off to the ER where they gave her Ipecac (sp) and that was back in 1960. Wonder what they do today Quote It is better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at allMissing my Big Blue eyed Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6greyhounds Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 yes I was frantic with the aspirin caper - with my oldest 17 mo older than the twins it was what one did not think of the other one did. Another caper that involved all three was getting in my cupboard and mixing flour, sugar, coffee and what ever else they could grab and mixing it together. That is when I bought bicycle locks and put on all my cabinets.

6greyhounds Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 oh yes they used to get into a lot of things and I do belive Sandi was the ring leader. Don't have any recent pics of them but will see if I can dig up something even when they were babies. Ha babies Al was 8lb 11 oz when he was born and Sandi a shrimp at 6 lb 5 oz.

dante2zoe Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Thinking of you today. It is so difficult when our babies are ill, regardless of age. My son had cancer, too, when he was 12, but, thankfully, he is a survivor and now 19. I remember that time way to vividly. Please consider yourself hugged. Cancer stinks.

duncan41 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Beryl, you have had more than your share of sorrows, but I am sure that those who have gone on ahead would not want you to mourn, but rather remember them and all the things cute and funny that made them special. I am sure the aspirin caper was just one of a hundred that you will be remembering today. Regardless of where you find yourself today, know that many of us here are with you in spirit and keeping you tucked tightly in our prayers. :grouphug Quote Linda, Mom to Fuzz, Barkley, and the felines Miss Kitty, Simon and Joseph.Waiting at The Bridge: Alex, Josh, Harley, Nikki, Beemer, Anna, Frank, Rachel, my heart & soul, Suze and the best boy ever, Dalton.<p> ....for all those hounds that are sick, hurt, lost or waiting for their forever homes.
