craig_brewer Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) Well sad night for us. Brandee turned 10 about a month ago and started limping on her right front leg. Found out it was cancer about two weeks ago and her health was going fast. Tonight when my wife came home she tried to run to greet her and fractured her leg. She was in so much pain it was unbearable to watch. After taking her to the vet and consulting with him we decided it was best to put her down. Debbie and I were with her until the end. She was so sweet on one hand but also so regal and fierce as a watchdog. Who said greyhounds don't bark? Her greatest joy in life was to get up early and go for her daily walk. It was so hard the last month or so not being able to take her because of her leg and difficulty walking. She was a great dog and we will so miss her. Time for a nap. by ripsdante, on Flickr She loved to chase Charley and bite him on the neck when he ran. At the dog park in El Segundo, California by ripsdante, on Flickr I did this picture about 3 or 4 years ago and made a card out of it. Guess it foretold what would happen. That is Brandee out front of Charley. Just looked at the picture again and the leg she is holding up is the one with cancer and that was how she was holding it tonight after she hurt it.
