bradymom Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) My fabulous boy has gone to the bridge. He was my heart dog and my first greyhound. When I can I will write a tribute and gather pictures. Everyone loved him, he was a great meet and greet pup, so calm and stately. Because of him a number of greyhounds were adopted in the Richmond area. He was food motivated to the very end. I remember when I was finally ready to adopt, I wanted a female cause they are smaller. I needed a cat friendly hound and one that could walk the streets of the city to potty cause my row-house did not have a yard. When the adoption group came to do my house check, they brought Brady. I was told that they did not have any females that would be a good fit at the moment, but if I did not want to wait the handsome boy Brady was available. The rest was history and we had a fabulous life together. I hate cancer. Last Sunday I got home from work and while on our walk I noticed a lump high on his chest by his left shoulder. On Monday morning he had deep, deep bruising on his lower chest. I got him to the vet for chest x-rays, blood work and I asked for a clotting test. The only thing off is his platelets were a little low and he was not clotting. I brought him home with some doxcycline because he had tested positive for ehrlichiosis, and had been treated for flare-ups a number of times during his life. In the back of my mind I knew this was major. Tuesday morning the bruising had spread. covering most of his belly. Back to the vet we went. As I walked back into my house after sending my brave boy to the bridge I was not thinking about much, I think I was still in shock, my mom died about 15 years ago and this image of Brady standing tall with my mom in a green pasture gave me peace. I know he is pain free and happy. Kiss your needle noses for me. I miss my gentle loving old man. The house is empty without him.

FiveRoooooers Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 There is something especially magical about the first greyhound and heart dog. They train us well and love us so profoundly.
