LakeshoreGreys Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Oh how we wish this were an April Fool joke, big guy! On the day of my grandmother's funeral, we heard of you - a big beautiful five year old boy whose owner passed away a few days prior. We knew who you were, of course, as we had planned to meet you and talked of adopting you when you originally came to our group two years prior. But you were already spoken for at that time, so we wished you well. When we found out you were in the animal shelter, we offered to take you and some friends jumped through the hoops to get you to us (thanks, Sarah!) We had four years of your charm - hanging out with DH in the bathroom each morning while he showered, letting us know whenever the phone or doorbell was ringing, and showing us your belly! We called you our "eye candy", as your heart always seemed bigger than your brain. You were a beautiful boy, and were popular at meet and greets and anywhere else you could lean into a perfect stranger and pin them down so they'd spend a minute petting you. We had hoped to celebrate your ninth birthday with us! We hate that cancer took you so quickly, but we did not want you to go through prolonged suffering either. It was an agonizing decision for us. Please know that we will always love you and never forget you! You were always convinced you fit fine in the itty bitty kitty bed! Sunbathing, yesterday. P.S. Hope that Buddy and Joe welcomed you and introduced you to the others.

rycezmom Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Saying goodbye to one so very well loved is one of the hardest things we do in life. Especially in our life with hounds. What a wonderful blessing this hound must have been in your life. Celebrate Alex and the joy that he brought to you. My wish for you is a peaceful transition from sadness to wonderfully happy memories of life with Alex.
