racindog Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Even in death there is something breathtaking about Spencer. But then he's not dead-only his body is. He reminds me of my soulmate Slim. So many amazing things about Spencer...those eyes, that attitude. He WILL be with you always you'll see. The Spencer that you loved was not merely a fawn greyhound body-it was and is a magnificent spirit. Nothing can ever destroy the love you two have. Love is energy and cannot be destroyed. Be openminded and perhaps you will find a reassuring "sign." For love is as strong as death....Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it.If a man would give for love all the wealth of his house, it would be utterly despised."-Song of Solomon 8:6-7 "Some animals...leave a trail of glory behind them.They give their spirit to the place where they have lived,and remain forever a part of the rocks and streams and the wind and sky."- Marguerite Henry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawthorn Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Beautiful tribute and slideshow - so sorry you had to say goodbye. Rest in peace Spencer. Quote When a relationship of love is disrupted, the relationship does not cease. The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues. The work of grief is to reconcile and redeem life to a different love relationship. ~ W Scott Lineberry Always Greyhounds Home Boarding and Greyhounds With Love House Sitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

45MPHK9 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) What a beautiful video tribute you made for your beloved Spencer, Mary. There were so many lovely images of him there. It was so obvious how strong your bond with Spencer was, both in the photos and in the words you have posted here on GT throughout the years. I know how brokenhearted you must feel right now. The first days are awful, but things do get better. Sending you and Skip a hug across the miles. Godspeed, beautiful boy. Look out for your momma from the Bridge.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xan Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 You took such phenomenal care of Spencer through it all! He looked fantastic, all the way through, into his whitest face. That white face just touched me so deeply, too. Such poignance in the deeply mature hounds. Many hugs and deepest sympathies to you, now and for the whole time it takes to come through the pain, and into the more simple time when you can smile every time you think of him. :bighug Quote My Inspirations: Grey Pogo, borzoi Katie, Meep the cat, AND MY BELOVED DH!!!Missing Rowdy, Coco, Brilly, Happy and Wabi.

greyhead Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Heartfelt thanks to each and all of you for your posts here and in PM's. The way Spencer passed was very hard on him and on us, not what I ever expected and not worthy of him. (ETA: or anyone else, for that matter.) I always thought we'd be given clues that his time was short, and then he could have peanut butter, whipped cream, a cheeseburger...all the things his restricted diet didn't allow to even be sampled. This tribute was all we could do to push his ending from the forefront of our minds and think instead about who we'd been privileged to know. When someone important has passed, I've found it means a lot to have people around who knew who they were, what they were like. You've let me know that you get him, you know him, even if you didn't before. That is immeasurably comforting. We take none of this for granted and will never ever forget your kindness.
