LisaB Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Like PrairieProf, I'm having a hard time grasping the fact that Hot Rod is gone from this earth--even having had the privilege of being there for his passing. Now, reading everyone's post here, I feel like I really need to tell you about the amazing woman we all know here as 'greytgrandma'. Her son got his own home with a fenced yard and fulfilled his long-time dream of adopting a greyhound. But this wonderful houndie Hot Rod also became the conduit for her jumping right into the WHOLE new world of greyhounds. She started helping us at the adoption kennel by sewing crate blankets and then becoming a dedicated, dependable, enthusiastic Meet & Greeter--where I have no doubt that he inspired MANY, MANY adoptions--to now helping with long-distance dog hauls. I don't think she'd disagree that she was pretty shy & quiet at first, but I have been really tickled to discover how smart, talented, and funny she is--in person and through her photography and posts and crafts, gardening and culinary skills. That she got blessed with a wonderful daughter-in-law who is a great wife and dog-mom is no surprise--just rewards for how much GOOD she puts out into the universe! I am deeply indebted to Hot Rod, the ultimate chill-hound, for bringing a GREYT forever-friend into my life. He may have only run three races, but his HUGE impact-- here in our neck-of-the-woods and world-wide online--as the catalyst for SO many good things--make him every bit as much a champion as the richest stakes winners! Hug your hounds. Adopt another one. Go buy a big box of Milkie Bones and take them to your local shelter. Celebrate all the good...I'm gonna try. And let's keep supporting everyone working so hard to defeat these damn cancers. Love you, Hot Rod. And you, too, Vic. Big Hugs.

Damn few will ever even be able to approach his nobility and stature. Your milky bone idea is wonderful. I can see the BIG boxes of Hot Rod 'memorial milky bones' being donated etc. at greyhound events as a wonderful legacy.
