Thank you for all of your kind words and memories of Vinny, each post made me cry or smile.

It's been a day full of tears, and now I am ready for some good memories of my big handsome boy.

Vinny getting into trouble....as usual.

 

I'm sure when this happened I scolded him with a kiss, like I always did...I couldn't get mad at him.

 

It was so funny...he had mud all in his gums...

Do you still have the pics of Vinny and the tomatoes?

 

Didn't he have a run-in with the roomba, as well?

Is it posible to laugh & cry at the same time, Jey?

I will look for both of those!

 

Well, this was the remote control car, I can't find the roomba one yet....he had similar feelings about both the car & roomba.

That was exactly the tomato picture I had in my mind's eye! And the car :rofl :rofl .

 

Yes, it is possible to laugh and cry at the same time. He was the sweetest character, and your family gave him the best life. A dog could not have dreamed of better.

I remember when Medea and I showed up for Easter and she had dreamt the night before about getting a pony. She took one look at Vinny and said "it's the pony from my dream!" I loved laying on the floor and cuddling with him :heart

I'm so sorry about Vinny. I am currently going though Lymphoma chemo treatments with my boy, Zevon. I have him enrolled in Dr. Couto's studies on Greyhound cancers and have been sending him Zevon's blood results. Although I know Zevon's survival rate is not long, I hope that his blood will maybe some day lead to a cure so that no other greys like your beloved Vinny and my beloved Zevon, will ever have to deal with this insideous disease. My heart-felt sympathy to you. :f_white

Thank you for digging that up. I know it must be hard to look at some of those right now.

 

Vinny, good boy, keep The Bridge safe from stray tomatoes and roombas, OK?

:wub: It was funny when you first posted it, and it's still funny now. I love how at one point it almost seems as if the Roomba is following him everywhere :lol

 

He will surely be missed, but what an awesome boy. He was very lucky to have such a fun family :)

Vinny was such a special boy, my heart breaks reading this thread. Love the pics and videos of him.

 

I know Frosty must have loved her steak last night and I hope you are all hanging in there.

How is Frosty doing, Jeannie? I hope she enjoyed her steak and is getting by without her good buddy.

That video is priceless-you can almost see the exasperation in his face. I hope in time your wonderful memories of Vinny will bring peace and comfort to your heart. How is Frosty today?

Well, this morning dh got up and decided he was going to take down Vinny's cage, we have the cages in the spare bedroom....so he went to pick up Vinny's blankets and they were soaked with urine. Not sure what Frosty was trying to say with that, but the last time she peed in the house was when my SIL was nursing her baby on the bed in Frosty & Vinny's room...Frosty soaked the bed...we had to throw it out. So, any behaviorists out there????

Today my parents took us fishing at a trout farm, we took Frosty with us, she was with us when Vinny passed, and she is pretty much better than the rest of us...I guess she understands nature better than we do. She has been staying by us more...I think she knows how much we are hurting, usually she spends a lot of time upstairs on my bed or in her cage lounging. Here are some pics of Frosty fishing...
