GeorgeofNE Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 9/9/02 - 8/16/14 On Saturday August 16, with his head on my lap, and an adorable case of ETS, George was set free from his lumbar spinal stenosis and left this world looking right in my eyes as I told him how much I loved him. He went instantly, ready it seems. George was tired. He had been falling on the stairs, walking on the tops of his paws, and was incontinent. His eyes told me what I needed to know. That it was time. I spent a week telling him goodbye (after my vet confirmed he was in pain) and spoiling him with hamburgers, hot dogs, and ice cream. And then my vet freed him. I will miss you forever. And I thank you for your companionship. I hope that I made your retirement enjoyable, although I always felt you would have preferred to return to the track. Your blog and your Facebook page will live on, as they have a life of their own. You will be remembered by many, and Virtual George will continue to grace the major Greyhound events as long as Laze carries you in the back of her pants. Be free and whole and healthy and strong again, my handsome boy. Until we meet again. Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav.

sweetdogs Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Susan, I'm so sorry it was George's time to leave you. He had such a beautiful face & seemed like a gentle soul. Even with all his whirled fame. He leaves a big George-shaped gap for his fan club, not to mention for you, Mr. B & dear Ming. Godspeed George!
