winnie Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I felt compelled to reach out to Faye Oops former family earlier this week to let them know she had crossed the Rainbow Bridge on December 1. Faye Oops was a bounce that had become part of our family during Memorial Day weekend 2010. Although we never met or had any contact with her former family, we could tell that she had been loved and was well cared for. Faye Oops had been with them for seven years. Contacting them seemed to be the right thing to do for Faye Oops. I received a very moving e-mail yesterday from them. Today, I received a link to a video tribute they made of her. Faye Oops was a very special and much loved greyhound.

TwiggysMom Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) Oh boy, I cried and smiled and laughed through the whole thing. What a wonderful gift all of you have given to each other. I loved seeing her young, nearly all black face. There is certainly no doubt that she was thoroughly loved in both their home and yours.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 What a lovely video. I can scarcely imagine how hard it was for her other family to give her up.

Charlies_Dad Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Special indeed.
