onrushpam Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Indigo Huckabee made his mark today. He helped insure the person who allowed him to suffer so much will never be allowed stewardship over another greyhound. It was a long time coming, but it finally happened. I'm hoping Huckabee is waiting for me at the Bridge, running free, healthy and happy...

Guest grey_dreams Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Thank you Pam. I think Huckabee was watching over your shoulder today, smiling along with you, and soaking up your love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greytpups Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'm so glad to hear Huckabee's death was not in vain...so sad though that it took so long though.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racindog Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I am sure you are right-it was meant to be that Huckabee found you. Because of you, he won. He crossed over as a much loved and never forgotten pet whose name will always be remembered-the prayer of every greyhound. It is sad he never enjoyed the life he could have but he finished a winner in every way. God bless him. And we may never know the why's that Archie had to leave at the same time but I'm sure it too was meant to be. My deepest sympathy. :f_red :f_red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan41 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I feel your pain and anger, but please know that Huckabee felt your presence and your love in his last moments. Thank you for making sure that the person responsible will never be able to endanger another life. I am so sorry. This is one of the saddest tales ever.

fsugrad Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I've always remembered Huckabee's terribly sad story, and how you tried to help him. At least he felt loved and cared for when his time came, and I'm glad that now at least a little justice has been served. Angel Huckabee, you are loved.
