greydogs Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Tally has a very special place in my heart too Pat. He was in fact the spookiest greyhound I have every known. We fostered him for, I can't remember, but I think it was almost a year. When we wanted him to go out, we would open his crate door as he cowered in the back, then we'd open the back door to the house and wait for him to make a break for the back yard. He'd follow one of the other dogs back into the house, only if we were nowhere to be see. My happiest memory of Tally was after he'd been here for about six months. I was raking leaves in the yard. Tally had been hiding behind a bush, which will forever be known as Tally's bush. Both of our other hounds were out there too. As I took a breather from raking, I felt one of my hounds slip his head into my hand. I stroked the proffered head absentmindedly for a couple of seconds then looked down. It was Tally. I was so shocked, that tears started to flow down my face. It was the first time he had ever willingly approached anyone in our household. We took Tally to his first Dewey back in 2000. (I believe it was 2000). He hid out behind us for that whole weekend, but, you could tell that there was some little bit of joy in that terrified boy. With Pat and Howard he found the most wonderful home, and the best family ever. Every year since then, Dewey became more and more his most favorite place in the world. Those of us who knew Tally really loved him. That spooky, terrified boy turned into a confident old gentleman. We're all going to miss him. I am so sorry Pat and Howard. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of him.

Guest Mom2Shiloh Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Oh dear, Pat!! I'm so very sorry to hear this. How can it be 10 years? wasn't it just yesterday.... I honestly feel like you were just telling me about getting him, errr... deciding to keep him. Sometimes on this journey we meet greyhounds and people who become -- so central to this whole Greyhound-people way of being. Tally was a wonderful boy, but he was also a presence--- it feels really sad from where I'm sitting to know he's gone. Much sympathy and a huge lot of healing light...
