Finnsliz Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Had to say good bye to Birdie last week. She went from very slightly favoring her left front leg to total non weight bearing literally overnight. I knew it could be only one thing at her advanced age. She enjoyed her last meal and breathed her last, stress free at home in her own bed with her canine companions close. We are so fortunate to have an amazing vet Dr Sarah Curry All Creatures Mobile Vet. I think Birdie might be one of, if not the last of the Wonderland Pet Expo generation. We had 10 fun filled years together. She was always up for an adventure. She loved the beach and hiking in the White Mountains. She was the smartest of all my greyhounds and had amazing recall. She adored men (affectionately called our man slut), children and raised our Catahoula puppy. She was a great traveler; Dewey Beach, Ghettysburg, White Mountains, Maine lakes and her favorite, 3 road trips to the farm in Kansas. Gosh she loved it there! At 13.4 she enjoyed a good long life. We miss our "Fast Dog".
