3DogNite Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I have a confession: I've been sleeping with the Power Man for the last 3 years! DH is ok with it, unless HE steals the covers! Last night was our first night with out Power --- :weep I said good by to him yesterday afternoon, just shy of his 12th Birthday. A nasty splenic tumor took away his appetite, his joy and took him away from me. He watched me gathering my purse, keys and shopping bags (I thought I was headed out on errands) but Power got up, and walked himself to the garage door and gave me the undeniable look of "it's time" I knew it was time, honestly he had been telling me for a couple days and I didn't want to let him go --- but when a you get this clear of a sign - i knew i couldn't make him wait any longer. Power was my Ever Ready Snuggler! the unofficial therapy dog who never learned how to sit. He was the most loving, attentive boy who continued giving until he couldn't give any more,, then it was my turn to give back to him. On our walks, he usually walked with his head just under my left hand so I always new he was there. He LOVED, LOVED, LOVED turkey necks!!! He raced more races than most other dogs out there! He gave unconditionally -- loved unconditionally. He Loved to Run and when he ran you knew that was what he was born to do ---- so fluid and beautiful! Run free Pow-Pow endless turkey necks for you at the bridge Quote lorinda, mom to the ever revolving door of Foster greyhounds Always in my heart: Teala (LC Sweet Dream) , Pepton, Darbee-Do (Hey Barb) , Rascal (Abitta Rascal), Power (Beyond the Power), and the miracle boy LAZER (2/21/14), Spirit (Bitter Almonds) 8/14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncan41 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Power, I saw your star overhead this morning. The sky was totally cloud covered, but there was this one, lone, bright star........................it had to be you. Send your Momma a sign......................nudge her at night so she will know she will never be alone as long as she holds your memory tucked gently in her heart. You were truly a very handsome gentleman.
