MisserGil Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Where do I begin and what do I say.. Tyrone was my little buddy and a whippet that gave so much love to everyone.. He loved having his ears rubbed and was always ready to snuggle. Since Dimples went to the bridge in February, Tyrone seemed to have the hardest time dealing with it. Doing weird behaviors and stuff. Last night he ate his dinner and curled up in a chair. About an hour later he was getting down and collapsed.. I took him to my vets house which is five minutes from where I live and we both went to the Emergency Vet. He passed quickly and we were with him. He was the guardian of stuffies, and of course could jump a fence if he saw a butterfly, squirrel, bird or dragonfly that he wanted to chase. He was also the guardian of the food bowls in the house. Many of my Greytalk Friends met him over the years at various events. I don't know how many people wanted to steal him from me. He was my little bad boy, wearing pirate jammies, pirate collars and loved showing off. He had a great life. First he was a retired show champ, then a field coursing champ. I got him after his retirement. He quickly settled into living the good life and I made sure he knew that whippets had to stay nice and warm, so he started sleeping under the covers with me at night. He had many adventures with his buddy Diego whippet at the camper and even one year both went to GIG with me. To be honest, this all happened so quickly that I am still in shock. I don't really know what to say and do. Its highly possible that he missed Dimples so much that he had to be with her. Who knows. I do know that I will miss him so much and feel lost in bed without him. Why do I have a kingsize bed when there are no pups to snuggle with? Thanks to everyone for all of their love and support throughout the years. Tyrone knew he was loved and I appreciate the fact that I got to share him with so many others..

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...
