IAMs Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Our sweet girl, Maya, passed away October 30th of 2013. We adopted her when she was just 18 months old, and we had the good fortune of having her as part of our lives for 8.5 years. She was 10 when she passed. As I was cleaning the den tonight, I found an old SD card and threw it into my computer... and I found some great videos of Maya from a few years ago. That sent me digging through old videos, and I came upon a couple videos and pictures that brought a smile to my face and tears to my eyes. I Could Lose Myself in Those Eyes Maya always had a soulful look... very caring and curious. This picture was taken just after we adopted her in 2004. She was, as was her usual, soaking up some sunshine in the backyard. Halloween Dress Up We loved to torture dress her up in fun Halloween costumes. This was my personal favorite. Scrambled Eggs for Breakfast Austin is a very dog-friendly city, and many of the restaurants allow pets on their patios. We went for an outing one morning and followed it up with breakfast on the patio. Most of the other customers didn't even know she was there. http://youtu.be/CFZgUyXTiho Those Boots Maya suffered from corns from years... not just on one or two feet, but on all four. She got used to her TheraPaw booties and got to the point that, when she saw them come out of the closet, she got excited because she knew a walk was in her future. This is BY FAR my favorite sound! http://youtu.be/fMaMHtes7-I Strike a Pose Modeling the TheraPaws, Maya was always willing to strike a pose... on a hike, of course. Chattering for PetSmart Maya chattered every once in a while... treats, walks, toys, etc. On this day, I asked her if she wanted to go to PetSmart to get some dog food. She was very excited to go! http://youtu.be/e5PjKeDOysI One of Our Last Walks A couple weekends before she passed (maybe even the very weekend before her passing), we took the pups for a walk on one of our favorite trails. About half way through, Maya found a comfy spot in the tall grass and decided it was time for a break. She rested for a bit and, when she was ready to continue, hopped up and started hiking again. These are two of my favorite photos that I have of my sweet girl. I think of her every single day. Although our sweet boy, Ollie, has helped to fill the void, the hole she left will never be completely filled. Maya was our first greyhound, and she's the grey to which all others will be compared. -Joel Edited November 10, 2014 by IAMs Quote * Gwen (07/2003-11/2009), * Maya (cancer , 06/2003-10/2013), *Ollie (cancer 07/2013 - 10/2018), *Azalea (cancer, 7/6/2015 - 5/20/2019), Ashe (cancer 04/2011 - 03/2020) *Aztec (sister of Inca, 12/1996-08/2011), *Inca (half-Siamese kitty ,12/1996 - 9/2016) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawthorn Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 So sorry you had to say goodbye to your sweet girl. 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...
FiveRoooooers Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 A lot of hounds would have appreciated having Maya as their Restaurant mentor to learn "Be still and they will feed you" - that was beautiful.
