Beachbum1 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Monday: 3 rides, plus a visit from his (and Face's) godparents and my friends from South Florida. Taylor hadn't seen them in 10 months and he was SOOOOO happy to see them. The boys got lots of hugs and kisses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
Beachbum1 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 This is Taylor, getting ready to digest dinner, 11 days post-amputation. 2 days ago, Taylor would be laying on the carpet, and I would put a plate down with maybe a half a can of dog food, and he would lift his head a little and eat it and then stop and go back to sleep. He would then eat another couple of hours later, a little more. Dinner tonight, was almost two cans of dog food on a plate being held while he stood, and then when I was preparing Face's dinner, dry food, Taylor was standing there. I gave him a piece. Gulp. Gave him another piece. Gulp. Put a cup of that food in a bowl, with water, and he stood there at his table eating. Good boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachbum1 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Good times Tangential question -- why is the pool supply store one of his favorite places? Because they have COOKIES!!!

Beachbum1 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 It's so cute that your dogs have godparents. Their adoption agency likes to "assign" godparents to new adopters, such as myself, with NO greyhound experience. Plus my only other dog was a Miniature Schnauzer when I was growing up, and he's been gone 30 years. And everyone in the neighborhood thought his name was "SHUT UP G_D DA_N YOU", because that's all they ever heard my mother calling the dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
