Houndtime Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 My friends Robin and Laze lost their 14 year old boy, Hefty. Hefty was a big, handsome white boy with stick up ears. Our friends Dave and Debbie Sorber lost their English grey, Jack. Jack was also 14 years old and totally toothless. I always liked to buy him soft biscuits for Christmas. I also heard today that Barbara Wicklund, of Greyhound Friends of NJ, recently lost her boy Cain, who was also 14 years old. These boys lived a long lives, but it still hurts and no matter how long they stay, they never stay long enough. I feel very sad today. Say not in grief, "he is no more," but live in thankfulness that he was. ~ Hebrew proverb Quote Irene Ullmann w/Flying Odin and Mama Mia in Lower Delaware Angels Brandy, John E, American Idol, Paul, Fuzzy and Shine Handcrafted Greyhound and Custom Clocks http://www.houndtime.com Zoom Doggies-Racing Coats for Racing Greyhounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
