jodyksam Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Oh no! My heart sunk when Carol told me the news. She was such a sweet, lovable girl. I'm so sorry. Hopefully these two are having fun together again. Ryan, I love these pics - our girls were good buddies and enjoyed many play outings at the parks in your area. I wish we could have continued it, but with the addition of the little ones, getting to dog parks was not as easy a task. Thank you for posting these pics - it's so hard to believe that our girls are both gone ... Jody I am so very sorry for your loss, and even more sorry that I never got to meet her. I think I recognize that pic from Sacramento, Ryan has a lot of pics from your visits to the dog park before I moved here. She was such a beautiful hound and I hear she was just a sweetheart. Thinking of you and sending many hugs. Thank you so much, Carole, and I share your same regrets, wishing you could have met her. We should make plans at some point so that I can meet your grey family and we can catch up. I'm sorry to hear of Daisy's passing. I still remember meeting you 2 at a NJ rest stop on our way to Dewey. I remember that as well, Diane I was so excited to meet another GTr also on your way to Dewey. Thanks for posting. It means a lot.

jodyksam Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 I'm meeting today with our vet to talk about last Friday's events, since it was such a whirlwind visit. He suspects it was hemangiosarcoma, and I remember his sharing the details of the ultrasound, but it's all a blur now. Having more specific information will help me as I process this great loss .

jodyksam Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Here are two early pics of Daisy, from when we lived in RI. This probably is in 2003. Our first GT friend, newmommyinri, cheryl and Daisy running in a baseball field in Providence. And me and Daisy, same day ... Knight-Knight and Sandy were Daisy's special friends the two years she lived with me in RI before heading to CA.

jodyksam Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Had a good visit with the vet today - a greater sense of peace in knowing that we didn't let her go too soon or too late. Found footage from late May and took a screen capture that truly does 'capture' the essence of Daisy. It's in the swager, in the gleam of her eye as she is heading toward me. I just love how silvery she grew in her senior years...

jodyksam Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Thanks, Robin and everyone else. Today was a difficult day - seemed that everything I did today had some reminder of Daisy. She is the first dog I've lost and my first greyhound, my first heart-dog. It's hard to turn off a mind that keeps reminding you that 'one week ago...' etc. Quote Mom to Daisy (1999-2012), LB (aka Little Bit), and Sammy James (aka Sammy or Buddy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FullMetalFrank Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I am sorry you lost your beautiful girl; I remember her, she was a GT favorite. I am glad she got to share your life (and you, hers) for so many years. It seems, sometimes, with the ones who stay with us for so long, that we might begin to imagine that maybe they really can stay forever... And then it comes; the harsh reminder that their time here is brief and God has merely loaned them to us for awhile. And then we look back on the years, knowing that they were precious and a million more would still not have been enough... I hope her memories will carry you through the sad times; and I, for one, really do believe that we will see them again, in time. Godspeed, Daisy...

jodyksam Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 I wanted to add a couple of more pics to the gallery presented in my initial post. Here is Sammy James, Daisy's other little 'brother'. Sammy and Daisy tolerated each other quite well. He was pretty jealous of the number one status enjoyed by Daisy, but in her last few days, he began to hang out with her a little bit. I always thought that LB (our other little one) would be the one to hang out on Daisy's bed in our bedroom, but it's Sammy. He won't lay down on the portion where Daisy would lay, but only lays down on the far edge, as if in respect. Sammy James Here's one of my favorite pics of Daisy and LB together ... it's entitled...

jodyksam Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Thank you, Mel. I always lamented that we left RI too early so that Daisy and Payton could have met for a playdate.
