Thank you everyone.

 

I have to tell you that on Thursday, we had doubt about letting Larry go, and I don't regret our decision to try the steroids. I would have wondered for the rest of my life if we had done all we could for him. His improvement Friday seemed to bear this out. This morning, there was not even a shadow of a doubt that it was time and that we would be giving him a gift by letting him go. I have peace in my heart on that front.

Oh, My Friend, I am soooo soooo sorry for your loss, BUT, you did try everything, and yes, they do tell you when it is their time!

 

Your precious Larry is with one of THE most wonderful men in the world, My Bob, .... whom I dubbed ... "The Keeper of all Greyhounds .. At The Bridge ... " He is also with Bold Energy, Max and Dasher, I am SURE!

 

I am GLAD it was a peaceful passing for one VERY SPECIAL boy ... Larry! ... God Speed Handsome Larry!

 

We love you! Dee, Curfew, Goldie, Oakly, Staggerlee and Cari

You have always done what is best for Larry because you love him so much. Even the emotional roller coaster of the last few days was because he was foremost in your mind and heart at all times. I wish he could have stayed longer, safe within your love, but sometimes everything we do just isn't enough to keep them with us. He was blessed to be part of such a wonderful family, even if it wasn't nearly long enough. I think when you take a senior into your home, you realize that your heartbreak might come sooner rather than later, but yet you make that unselfish decision because the rewards are so great. I'm so glad that you and Larry found each other, and that you shared him with us, but so sorry that your heart is breaking now.

Run fast and far and free, sweet Larry! No more pain forevermore.

 

Adrianne, I am so sorry. We were all hoping that Larry would beat the odds, and no one will second guess your decision to give him a try on something that could help. You loved him and you id the best thing you could.

 

Thinking of you and your family.

Thank you everyone.

Oh, Adrianne. I'm broken-hearted too. I'm glad you tried, and I'm glad you have peace about your decision. With the guys that I have lost, there has always been that moment when you know without doubt that it's time. You hadn't reached that point on Thursday, and you did what you needed to do for Larry's sake.

 

I'm so, so grateful that he had a peaceful and easy passing. And that he had a family around him who loved him so much. Thank you for giving him that, and for giving him the wonderful second chance at a family. Many overlook the seniors, because it sure as hell is hard to let them go. But I know that you'll treasure the time you had with Larry. He came when you needed him, and you came when he needed you. He was right where he was supposed to be.

 

I never got to meet him in person, but I'll never forget him. How could I ever forget that precious face? Tell Ollie that I am sorry for her loss too. I hope you'll let Ollie help you pick out a new "big" brother when you are ready. I think she really enjoys having these guys to take care of and boss around. She was a great sister to Larry.

 

Sending so much love to your family! Giving all my hounds extra hugs and love today in honor of sweet Larry.

Well, nuts. Larry had a whole bunch of us cheering him on to be ok again and I'm so sad he had to leave you.

 

You did right by him in all respects. They say about children that parents are supposed to give them roots and give them wings. In an odd way, it also applies to our critters. You gave Larry roots...a loving home.... and wings when you set him free from pain.
