We Said Goodbye To Ringo This Morning

Recommended Posts

Ringo was only six years old when he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. We had six wonderful weeks with him since his diagnosis and he had a great quality of life during that time. Thankfully, his decline was sudden and rapid and he had little suffering.

 

He was my first greyhound, which combined with his wonderful personality made him extra special. We were blessed to have him as part of our family for the three short years he was was with us. We sent him off with a piece of our hearts and he left us with countless fond memories.

 

Run free my sweet, constant companion.

Debbie I am so sorry. You and your family have my prayers and warm thoughts.

 

I was watching the video of Ringo in the leaves smiling and a bit teary. What wonderful memories you have, I hope they bring you comfort in the coming months.

 

Many hugs to you, your family, Paul and John.

 

Godspeed Handsome Ringo :gh_run I'll be watching for your star tonight.

I'm so sorry, Deb. :cry1

 

I was able to met Ringo before you adopted him. He was my introduction to the fabulous Beatle Boys. :wub:

 

He was much too young. But, I'm so glad that you found him and were able to reunite him with two of his handsome brothers.

 

Godspeed, sweet Ringo. :gh_run2

Agree with you on that one Houndtime. Our group has already lost a couple this month and we are a very small group. Makes me sad.

I knew one day I would see this post but it still took my breath away and made me terribly sad. I'm so sorry. Godspeed Ringo.

Debbie,

 

I am so very sorry for your loss. I feel when our lives are first touched by the magical world of the greyhounds, it is never to be the same. I also learned when we lose one, our lives are never to be the same again. When they enter our lives, their magic touches our souls, when they leave our world, their pawprint remains forever in our hearts.

 

:bighug to you all

 

Run with the angels sweet Ringo, you are with the very very best. ~

I'm so sorry, Deb. Ringo was the perfect greyhound, and my heart hurts knowing that he's gone. Thank you for giving him such a happy life with your family. It means so much to me to know our kids get good homes, and he was clearly happy with you. I'm so grateful for the GUR that brought John to you recently in time for the Beatle Boys to be together before this sad day.

 

Much love and sympathy in your time of sadness. ~Cathie~

I am so sorry. Ringo had a wonderful life with you, and the Beatle Boys having been together is just heartwarming. :grouphug
