Burpdog Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 aka HustonAll day I've been trying to figure out how to fit a "one in a million" dog into one post and I finally decided I can't.Many thanks to: Denise Grossman, the one who helped me find "the one who has been called ugly", Dee Hansen who adopted him to me, Mary Young who hosted us that weekend he came home, his wonderful vets Robin Robinett Dvm, Patricia Baley and Dr. Ben Tharp (Voss Rd Animal Hospital) the wonderful surgeon who gave us more time and held my hand the last few weeks, Shelley Ann Lake who helped during the evening hours keep him comfortable, a wonderful support staff: Jerri L. O'Donohoe, Marilyn Varnberg, Toni Kane and Jey Flick and many others.As much as Huston loved events (so many butts to sniff), he was not a dog's dog, he was a people's dog. Over the years we (I had to be the play partner, not another dog) played, stuffy, grab the feet, boxing, bitey face, attack the sweeper and on and on He was so sad this morning when I told him it was time to go (he couldn't walk) but knew that he had to. A smart, intuitive and independent soul, I asked him to find my Mom and that they had better both be there to great me when I come.Nothing will be the same again, nothing.....

Hawthorn Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I am so sorry Huston had to leave. 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...
Batmom Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 One in a billion, who was so lucky to find that one in a billion home. I remember being elated and relieved when he went to you. I knew he would be understood and cherished and thought amazingly handsome and talented, and he was. Godspeed, Huston.
