Guest greycrew Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy. I know what you're going through. I lost my heart boy Tone 7 weeks ago and am still in shock and disbelief. I'm lost without him, but so thankful he was part of my life.

o_rooly Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 My heart jumped into my throat when I saw his name in this forum. I didn't know him, but Turbo had the COOLEST name and racing name, and he just struck me as a most amazing guy. His photos speak more than anything. I am so, so sorry for your loss. I hope we will all be so lucky to be greeted by that vision you posted once we reach the Bridge. Quote every day a tiny adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystella Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Sending hugs to you and Mitch. So many different peeps with pics of your beautiful boy, that says something, he had an impact on everyone who was lucky enough to meet him. I wish I could have been one of those people. Love ya chicklet and wish there was something that could be said to make it hurt less Quote Take the time to stop and smell the flowers - appreciate your everyday ordinary miracles Carolyn, Faith, Jeff Gordon (aka Jeffy) and Oscar the chilla.

turbotaina Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Thank you for all your kind words, and for sharing your pictures of our boy. Those of you who have pictures, if you could email them to us, we'd really appreciate it. There are some nice ones out there that I hadn't seen (or that I have seen, but don't have) and we'd like to print them and keep them with other pictures of our boy. So if you would, please email your pics to sendahlboss @ gmail. This thread has been such a comfort to us. It's heart warming to see how he touched so many people. He really was just the best dog. I used to tell people when I was doing home visits (and Turbo was unceasingly trying to climb up on their couches) that I did everything wrong you could do with a greyhound, from crating location to cat introductions, but I just got lucky. Aside from stealing unattended food, Turbo never did anything wrong. He was bombproof, had no "issues" at all (aside from being a little insecure sometimes and overly bossy with other dogs at other times). He was our best friend and I couldn't have asked for a better dog. I really hit the jackpot with him and it's so hard to believe he will no longer snuggle with us in bed, stand and stare at us until we move from his favorite location on the couch, drool puddles while waiting for a lick from our bowls...It just hurts. There is some consolation in that we know we gave him the best of everything and he lived a happy retired life with us. He got to go to Greyhound events up and down the east coast (his favorite, and mine, being the Adoption Expo - thank you Linda Jensen for putting that together, even when the tracks were all closing down), got to go camping, hiking, fun runs, coursing, parties. He had a good life. I just wish it could have been longer. We picked up his ashes yesterday and while it was very painful for us, it's good to have him back home.
