Greytlady94 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 My Teddy (Nina's Bandit) slipped peacefully away at home Monday October 15. He would have been 13 in November. Teddy was the last of our seven greyhounds. I knew it was coming, but my heart is so broken. I don't think that we can ever be prepared, no matter how many times it happens. I took Teddy as a foster just a couple of days after he came in. Teddy was a spook, afraid of everything. I remember Robbie telling me "don't bring him back, I don't want him in my kennel". You see Teddy was so afraid he would soil his kennel and himself, a very fearful dog. Over the years though, Robbie has come to love Teddy too, and Teddy was always very happy to see Robbie, like his second dad, but he never went back to the kennel. Teddy became my fearless protector as he matured. My big boy was not about to let anyone around me until I told him it was ok. Then he would look at my face to see if it was alright for him to go back to his nap. I think I here paws walking, or the squeak of a toy. I look to see if it is him coming but there is no one here but me. Quote Greyhound angels at the bridge- Casey, Charlie, Maggie, Molly, Renie, Lucy & Teddy. Beagle angels Peanut and Charlie. And to all the 4 legged Bridge souls who have touched my heart, thank you. When a greyhound looks into you eyes it seems they touch your very soul.
