sacha Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I haven't been on the forum for awhile now, but I needed to post today. I needed a place where Egon's life will be remembered, and not just by our family. We had to let Egon go yesterday. We think he had a small stroke or seizure on Monday, it left him unsure, unsettled and stumbling sideways. We watched and hoped that he could recover, but after a couple days knew he wouldn't. Hearing my four year old cry "I want Egon back" will haunt me forever. Egon you were a quiet presence in our lives. Always excited to make a new friend, tamer of feral kitties, thief of un-guarded food, your magical ability that let you know when the gate was left open, fearlessness of coyotes (crazy pup), unbridled fear of woodpeckers, and the best nap taker ever. I just want you to know that we love you and will always remember. I haven't seen that bottom picture in so long. He was 5 years old in that photo, so young. I had forgotten how big his eye patch was, it has been whitened for so long. Oh Egon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhead Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) I remember Egon -- and you. So very sorry he had to leave. It's clear he was a well-loved boy in your family and quite a character, as well. My sincere sympathies to you and your family. Tell your little girl that this is a place where Egon was loved too, and will be remembered.

Hawthorn Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 So sorry you had to say goodbye to Egon. 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...
