scullysmum Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 image by East Hill Photography, on Flickr Back at the beginning of December my I bumped into my friend Jackie with her pups and while I was having the usual cuddle with her lovely Deerhound boy Ishmael I noticed that his lymph glands in his throat were enlarged....he had just recovered from a bout of colitis so it was put down to that, two weeks later having not seen her in the meantime I met Peter (Peppersdad) who informed me that the darling boy had been diagnosed with lymphoma and given 4 to 6 weeks, sadly he only lasted two weeks and left for the bridge on Sunday 21st . My angel Sadi knew Ishmael from when he was a pup, and Johnny also became firm friends with the big wookie....they dug a huge hole together back in the summer My pockets and treat bags were never safe from the very tall boy and I will miss him. I know his Mum and Dad are heartbroken and his "siblings" Florence and Seql miss him too. Run free you big hairy loony....my pockets will never be the same.

Hawthorn Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 How sad. Rest in peace, beautiful Ishmael, and condolences to all who knew and loved him. I've always loved deerhounds. A friend of mine owned one years ago when I got my first greyhound and she was such a character. 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...
