kjw Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 With broken hearts, Michelle and I are sorry to announce the passing of our beautiful boy Romi. After fighting for the last month, he was ready to give up the battle and move on Monday morning. He is survived by his pack Andy, Bailey, Connie and Millie. We had many years of pure joy from this hound, who was an unexpected addition during the 2004 GRA picnic. He had been at the Hinsdale adoption centre for over a year, but when I saw him at Bill's with his beautiful big roman nose, and listened to him rooing in his kennel, and experienced him kissing me right through the bars, I knew this unique character was for us. I have never been sorry that we added him to our pack, he has been at the centre of life at Camp Greyhound for all of these years, and was a favorite where ever he went. To say he will be missed is a tremendous understatement. Thanks to dear friends Dee and Anne for their support yesterday, you made an unbearable day almost manageable; and thanks to Anna our homeopath who made his last month really comfortable. I imagine Romi arriving at the bridge, and meeting his brother Cantankerous Lou, who pre-deceased him by less than a year, and all the SSGG angels that have left us so recently – Dove, Sadie, Hobbes, Tomtom, Jack, and most recently Hope to name a few. I'm sure he's settled in and is washing everyone's ears right about now. Goodnight, sweet Prince, til we meet again.

robinw Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Karen, I'm so sorry. Romi was such a cool and gentle guy. I remember when you adopted him and I also remember how well he got along with Phene and Loca. He'll be missed by many. I'm sure Loca is corrupting him as I type.

Rickiesmom Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Karen, I am so grateful that I was able to spend a little time with Romi, such a truly special hound at so many levels. I think the photo of Romi and the ferret should be printed and made available as a fundraiser - a precious, smile-inducing, perfectly captured moment. Huge hugs to you my friend.
