PrairieProf Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) I just received the awful news that a greyhound from our group, Finn (Cartagena), pulled loose from his mom's grip while trying to chase a rabbit yesterday, was hit by a car, and died. He was a beautiful and much-loved brindle boy, given lots of exercise and attention, and he was a frequent participant in QCGA's Iowa City-area M&Gs. My heart is breaking for his mom and all who knew him. http://www.greyhound-data.com/d?i=1187623 :f_white Edited April 18, 2011 by PrairieProf Quote With Cocoa (DC Chocolatedrop), missing B for Beth (2006-2015)And kitties C.J., Klara, Bernadette, John-Boy, & Sinbad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bethac Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Oh, I am so sad to hear this. Please share my condolences too. And I am sad for you also ... I know that Beth's best running buddy was recently injured too (by a car also, right)... so you must be just horrified to hear of both incidents so close together. Oh my.
