LaFlaca Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 At approximately 5:25 a.m. this morning, Wendy went into cardiac arrest and did not respond to CPR. The knowledge that this was coming sooner rather than later does nothing to dull the infinite ache in our hearts. Almost 10 years ago, DH and I went to Friends of Greyhounds fully intending to adopt a large, male Grey. Wendy knew better. She saw us, we saw her and the rest is history. This tiny, 47 lb. pixie-dog was on her back in her second-story crate, stick-legs flailing, butt squirming, huge smile on her face letting us know in no uncertain terms, "I am yours, you are mine". Indeed. All three of us have been smiling and wiggling our butts together ever since! My girl, my old lady, the Duchess of 23rd Terrace has gone home. What a joyous day it will be when we are all three together again. I love you, my girl. Run with the angels, my darling. Quote Irene ~ Owned and Operated by Jenny (Jenny Rocks ~ 11/24/17) ~ JRo, Jenny from the Track Lola (AMF Won't Forget ~ 04/29/15 -07/22/19) - My girl. I'll always love you. Wendy (Lost Footing ~ 12/11/05 - 08/18/17) ~ Forever in our hearts. "I am yours, you are mine". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
