duncan41 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Remember when you were first inquiring about Greyhounds? One of the things that I was told was how quiet they are. Well, Anna must have been taking the how-to-do-everything-with-enthusiasm seminar for the 10th time because she definitely missed the one on how Greyhounds are supposed to be quiet. Late August, 2008; I received a call at the office from my BFF which sent me into a panic because she never called me at the office. What's wrong? Who is sick? Do you need help? Is it DH? DD? Nope, none of those. A friend of a friend was going to place his dog in the next 4 days even if he had to take her to the pound. She was 8 years old and black. 'Nuff said...............she had a home with us. She wasn't an "easy" dog, but she may go down in our household history as the happiest dog ever. She chattered, shook her head in a "no-no-no" motion but it really meant "yes-yes-yes" for food or treats. She had a lot to say about everything; the garage door opening, neighbors walking down the street, the dogs in the yard behind ours, stopping for traffic lights while riding in the van, hearing the van pulling in the garage when I came home from work and of course, those magic words, "Do you want to go for a walk?"! Everything she did was over the top with joy and enthusiasm. Rest well, sweetie. Osteo may have claimed your body, but your joyous spirit will live on in our hearts. Go and find Grandma..............I'm sure she will have some egg and toast for you. Quote Linda, Mom to Fuzz, Barkley, and the felines Miss Kitty, Simon and Joseph.Waiting at The Bridge: Alex, Josh, Harley, Nikki, Beemer, Anna, Frank, Rachel, my heart & soul, Suze and the best boy ever, Dalton.<p> ....for all those hounds that are sick, hurt, lost or waiting for their forever homes.
