greyhndz Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Gigi -- Giselle, Baby G, whatever you called her, she was delighed to answer to. I lost her today to an apparent adrenal tumor. She had a rough few weeks into June, and a great surge over the past 6 weeks, but it came to an end, and it would not have been right to put her through the extreme stress of critical care again when it almost certainly would happen again. Her eyes told me she was ready, and everybody understands "the eyes". No turning away from them. My vet came, it was quick and peaceful, not even a movement. And now she's on her way to be with Mafi and Teo and Dandi and we're here feeling the pain and emptiness. I do believe it's true that the greatest way to honor a dog is to rescue another, and we do have another galga coming to us in the next month or two. I may not be able to wait, though, and am giving serious thought to adopting locally (a GH female) while we wait for our galga to arrive. Tim is so sad, and was so attached to Gigi that I'd like him to have a companion now. But since the dogs we choose are always chosen for us, we'll go with the flow and see what sails our way. Je t'adore, Giselle..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racindog Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 My deepest sympathy. The tribute and pictures were powerful leaving no doubt of just how special and unique Gigi is. Love is the most powerful force there is, it is energy, as are we, and it cannot be destroyed by death or anything else. She will be with you always. I identify strongly with everything you said. Oh yeah, the eyes........ and ...We both know that Gigi is nothing less than delighted that you are opening your heart to another galga. And about how you don't know if you can wait for her to arrive. After Ivy crossed over I simply could not face the prospect of being houndless-I couldn't even stand the thought-and I adopted Goldie less than 48 hours after Ivy left. And Ivy was very relieved that I did so she didn't have to worry about me being so utterly lost without a hound. And them picking us-yep my soul mate Slim taught me that and it IS true. I know how exciting it is to wonder who picked us and were they in 'cahoots' with our bridge angel etc. But as you said THEY are the ones who decide and lucky for us they do. It is all love. It is all beautiful, as is our departed loved one.

Wow, that is so strange, Irene. I think it's the connection that longtime greyhound people have.... we may go months or years without speaking but there's enough of a bond that we just "know" sometimes. Your kindness always means so much to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
