Guest greytexplorer Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) I helped Mandy to the bridge last Saturday.She had gotten to the point where every time she stood up, she lost bowel control due to spinal stenosis.Such an indignity for such a dignified and stoic breed.I had already talked with our vet over a week ago, and she said that it was probably time.....I can't believe she's gone......Mandy, you turned me on to greyhounds....their beautytheir poetry in motiontheir ability to discern another greyhound in the midst of "just dogs"their quiet reflectivenesstheir goofy-sillinessI you, big gyrlRun like the wind at the bridge, sweetheart. You haven't been able to do that in such a long time.Find packmates Georgia and Aubrey and honorary greyhound DickCheney, tell them we miss 'em so much.Love you and miss you forever,Mom Edited December 8, 2012 by greytexplorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest greytexplorer Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I don't know why, but GT won't allow me to upload photos. I've started a photo album of Mandy (3 so far). I'll continue to add there. I've lost 2 dogs in 2 months. Guess I'll have to ask Trudy to change my sig line.......... <sob> Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
