Guest NoGreytrLuv Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Doc was trouble from the first day we met him. We were looking for a friend for our girl, Kelsey, and a greyhound for my husband to bond with. Doc was very flashy and my husband decided to try him out. The problem is - Doc could have cared less about my husband. He was a pretty boy who liked the ladies. If you were female and he liked you he would sneak behind you and goose you right in the behind. There were a couple of times that we had some explaining to do to an unsuspecting lady! A few months after we adopted him we found out that the reason he was a bounce is that he ripped a door handle off a refrigerator. I got to discover how strong he was when I discovered Doc chewing up cans of food (full and unopened) and making them into objects d'art. At least he had good taste - he went for the $6.00 cans of cream of crab soup. He was one of the fastest greyhounds I had ever seen. He was always at the head of the pack - until he saw a squirrel, a leaf or some shiney object. The boy had the attention span of a gnat, no wonder he had a terrible track record. My daughter's first word was "Doc". Her first sentence was, "No, Doc!" Doc never met food he didn't like. He also liked and ate rope, crayons (loved the pretty multi-color poop), paper towels and other assorted items. We had 10 years with Doc. I, honestly, never thought he would live this long. We almost put him down so many times from a herniated disc, pancreatitis and other assorted issues. I shouldn't be surprised that he is gone. But he left a hole in my heart. I love you, my big pink dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
