Guest BasilMom Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Yesterday we made the hard decision to free our Basil from his pain. Basil was my "Perry Como" of Greyhounds. He had a wonderful life and enjoyed every day doing what he liked best, being a lazy boy. He was our first Greyhound and my children's first dog. We had the pleasure of loving him for ten years and he was alert and loving till the end. Basil was just shy of reaching 13 1/2 years old. He was such a special boy that his track owner kept in touch through the years remembering him and his littermates. God Bless my Basil boy now he is with his soulmate, my bridge girl Holly.In our eyes there will never be anyone that could fill the void we have for him. Edited September 28, 2012 by BasilMom Quote
