Gustav's Gone

Many thanks to those that responded when we thought Gustav might have either Cushings or Addisons. As it turns out, it was Cushings. However, suddenly, without any warning, he collapsed yesterday. His breathing became labored and he vomited up his dinner from the previous day. It was really obvious that he was in distress and getting worse. Thus, we made the painful decision to put him down. He was just shy of his 13th birthday. He was a real champion and loved life. I was fortunate to have him with me for almost 9 years. He will be sorely missed.

If you have a picture online somewhere (such as photobucket), you can post a picture in the "Cute and Funny" forum by clicking the "insert image" icon in the bar up above the text box (where you enter your post; the "insert image" thingy is to the left of the "email" icon). Would love to see your sweet pupper.

I'm so sorry about Gustav. :( When you're up to it, I know we'd all love to hear about Gustav and see a picture or 10! The thing I've noticed about Greytalk people is that we tend to love everybody's greyhounds, not just our own. :grouphug

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
