carronstar Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Oh, Tricia, I am so very sorry. Even knowing that it was coming, seeing Murray's name here was a jolt. I remember meeting him at my first Grapehounds when you were my neighbor. He was such a lovely gentleman. Every year I look forward to the card from you and Burke with your wonderful photos. Godspeed, Murray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so sorry that you had to say goodbye to such a phenomenal and beautiful boy. My thoughts are with you as you and your husband deal with the pain of his loss. Godspeed, Murray.

Guest OPointyDog Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'm so sorry to hear about your loss - but so glad to know that you found each other and have so many happy memories and beautiful photos. I met him briefly at Grapehounds a couple years ago, and I had no idea that he had so many behavioral issues. Thank you for finding a way to manage them and help him be a healthy, happy dog. I know it's not easy and many people would have given up on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
