queenwinniesmom Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Oh, Carrie, I feel as if it's the end of an era. Lilac was one of the first Greyhounds I met, back in the old days of Darcy's Kingdom. She was always her own quirky, stubborn, lovely self, and truly the "Mom" of your bunch, in more ways than one. She sure made your life interesting, and you loved her, indulged her, and understood her so well. Sweet Lilac, I know you have found Treat and Hawk, and maybe some of the old guys who have gone before you, and you're taking names and kicking butt at the Bridge. Carrie and Matt, I'm so sorry you lost your precious little old lady.

Guest houndstooth4 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Thank you to everyone for your kind words! We were truly very lucky that Lilac chose us to spend her life with, and make no mistake, our stubborn senior gal called all the shots. She lived an incredible life. I wonder if she had any idea what she was in for when she packed up her old plastic collar and left the farm in Kansas for a new life. She gave us something to smile about every day! I consider myself extremely blessed that we had her for almost nine years. The many tears we've shed just mean that she was very much loved, and all dogs should be missed when they're gone. It means we did at least some things right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Capslock Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 It sounds like you did everything right! As you point out, the unbelievable sadness over her passing is hopefully mitigated by the unbelievable success you and she were! A life like Lilacs is what we hope for when we adopt greyhounds.
