Rustyroo Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I do not know the story about Gus, but I do know how it feels to lose one and feel like I wish I could have done something more. It sounds like you did everything right for him. I'm sorry for your loss.

carronstar Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I cannot fathom a world where you could, or would, have failed Gus. Like so many here, I understand the feeling. That doesn't make it true. Be kind to yourself. I am so very sorry for your loss of such a special boy. Gus, run fast and free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grey_dreams Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I'm so sorry for your loss. I know what it means to lose your heart and soul, my Zuki left two months ago. I hope Gus will send you some signs soon, or visit you in your dreams, and ease your pain. The love you shared will always be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobelvr Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm so sorry Gus has gone to the bridge. I remember following the story of his capture and being amazed at the dedication of everyone involved. Gus is truly a legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tgd Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Dear sweet Gus, letting you go was one of the most painful and difficult decisions I have had to make in a very long time. It pained me so much to say good bye to you and I can only hope and pray that I made the right choice. A little over 8 years ago my BFF and I set out on a quest to try and rescue this aloof, and that is putting it mildly, feral greyhound in a remote little town in northwest Texas.. We had a lot of advice from greytalk, some good and some not so good. There were some who even said we couldn't do it. There were those who felt the need to tell us evverything we were doing wrong....and they were probably right. You caame close to driving me crazy . However, we would not give up. We stuck to it and after almost 10 months we captured the "amazing Gus". I saved you once, I only wish I could have saved you again. Gus, you are a very special boy and you brought so much pleasure and joy to a great many people. You brought people from all over the country together in order to help you find your forever home. Because of you, I was able to make friends with Kathy (RIP dear friend), Ed, Mike and so many others. What a very special greyhound you were and always will be in our hearts. I hasten to guess that no other greyhound in greytalk history has garnered so much attention on the amber thread. You will always hold a very pecial place in my heart and I hope you knew how much I loved you. Run free sweet boy and I hope Calli and Katie find you and show you the ropes. I love you, Mom XOXOXOXOXOXO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaisyDoodle Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I want, so badly, to find Gus' thread in the GAA section, but I can't. I can usually find it to share it for newbies, but I haven't been able to. I want people to know how hard you all worked to find him [Let me rephrase that--CAPTURE him.], and how Ed helped from PA, and fell in love with this boy from afar. To Ed, Diane, Diana, Michael, and everyone in Texas and elsewhere who were involved in Gus' capture, my deepest sympathies. You all brought me here to GT and to volunteering on Amber Alerts. I will hang fliers in Allentown tomorrow in honor and memory of Gus.

Guest Daffytoons Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I read every word of Gus' capture and waited every day for any news. So sorry to hear that Gus has passed. I'm sure he had the best life that any greyhound could with Ed, and his memory will live on. Fly free, sweet Gus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilysmom Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) I am shocked and very sad to read of Gus's passing Ed Those of us that have been on GT for a long time remember all to well his gut wrenching story of finally being captured and most of all how you made a promise to him and kept it. I know what it feels like to say you feel as though you failed a pup. I am so sorry for your loss. I don't think many here on GT know that it was because of you and Michael McCan the Greyhound Amber Alert was born. Just think how many hounds were saved because of it. For that I thank you!
