Burpdog Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Once again, my heart is broken. Buffy is one that I wanted more time with -- a lot more time. She had a tough life before going to her foster home then coming to me. She only got a year in a home. She is the only greyhound I really considered returning -- she was very difficult with food. Solved that problem with feeding her in the back room behind a gate. She was the leader of the pack. Now, it's my job again. I don't want the job -- I want her back. Last June she was diagnosed with a lung tumor. When we x rayed in October, it had tripled in size. She still enjoyed life, slowing down a little each week. Still played with stuffies and insisted on taking them outside. We let her -- many times she would lay outside with her head on the stuffy. Sometimes she just took them out and left them It was something she really enjoyed, so we let her take them out and we went out & brought them in. Saturday she started getting lethargic and by early Sunday morning, I knew I could not wait until Monday morning so we went to the ER clinic. I told her no more wonky leg (farm injury), no more trouble breathing -- she could run like the wind.

Guest K9_Lady Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Diane, I am so very sorry. Buffy was loved "For although we may not be together in the way we used to be, We are still connected by a cord no eye can see. So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racindog Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'm so sorry. I understand. With both my broodies everyday it is/was on my mind about what little time they have to get spoiled compared to the younger ones who get adopted. I always give them xtra treats and the most choice ones too-figure they've got a lot of time to makeup for from when they didn't get them. But I know that seems so hollow-we want to do more. No matter what we do how can you make up ~10 years or more in the few remaining years? Really though by taking them into our heart and loving them-that is the ultimate. Because of you she crossed over a much loved pet who will always be remembered. As such Buffy was one of the blessed few that won-her greyhound prayer was answered-because of you. My deepest sympathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
