Lori, no!!! I saw his name and my heart sank to the floor. I am in shock and am so very, very sorry. Bill will be missed by many and dinner will never be the same :grouphug

Lori, I have no words... I'm so very sorry...

 

Run free Unka Bill. I have it on good authority that there only right legs at the bridge... and plenty of cookies.

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

Lori, I am so sorry to read that Bill is gone. He was so lucky to have had you as his Momma. Sending you a hug across the miles. Bill will be missed and always remembered. :grouphug

saying sorry just doesn't seem like enough, but I can barely type through my tears...all of us here will miss Bill and his dinner antics (they are legendary with my kids' school friends). My heart breaks for you, and what you have lost. hugs to you, your family, and your pack.

 

Bill, run free sweetie. May you only get right legs, lots of THEM, and all the cookies your heart desires.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I work with Diane4114 at our local greyhound chapter and she first introduced me (and the many others!) to Bill through your dinner conversations. It was my favorite part of the newsletter. Bill was such a character, one of a kind for sure! Your conversations inspired me to create two photo albums of my hounds and include our funny *conversations*. Bill also introduced us to MOOSHIES! oh and the deliciousness of sprinkle cheese on food. :) I lost my greyhound Buck just about a year ago to cancer as well and I miss him every day. I can imagine there’s a BIG party at the bridge welcoming Bill tonight. He's a famous fellow! Lots of cookies, mooshies, and right legs. Thank you for sharing Bill and all your wonderful dinner conversations with us. Wishing you peace and comfort during this time.

How I can sit here full of tears for a dog that I've never met, I have no idea. Bill was like family, even though I've never met him or his family. Thank you for catering (literally) to this special boy, whose antics had us in hysterics. I am so sorry that he left so quickly. I hope that someday when the pain lessens a little, you can honor him by printing his book of dinner conversations.

 

Bill: it's all right legs, shaky cheese, whippy cream, cookies and Burpdogs at the bridge. Run pain-free buddy.

 

The flower icon just doesn't seem appropriate here. :cookie

Oh, Lori, I'm sure you know how many tears are being shed by so many people. All of Bill's fans---people who admired him, laughed with him, shook our heads at his unique, totally "Bill" take on life, and loved him without ever having met him. Thank-you for being such a perceptive translator of his inimitable spirit and personality, and thank-you for sharing him with us.

We are sharing your sadness now, and mourning the loss of a true original.

I'm so sorry you lost your precious Bill.

I'm so sorry. Any thread you posted about Bill was always a first-read with me because he had a knack of doing the most interesting things. He seemed to have such a larger-than-life personality and I know he will be dearly missed by all of us.
