Rustyroo Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Our Franny, my little baby girl, is gone. The house is so empty without her here. This is the first time in 15 years we have not had a greyhound. My kids have not known life without a greyhound in it. This is a first for us all. Franny came to us as a bounce seven years ago to keep Solo company after losing Rusty. Her gotcha day was one day before her birthday. She was a good little sister for a month until Solo left us. Then she became the queen. Everyone loved her. She thought all humans were put on this earth to pet her. She helped us foster a couple of grey's and dog sit. Nothing fazed her, not the kids running around, not fireworks, not thunderstorms, not cats, not even little yappy's. She would lay in her big fancy dog bed and watch everything around her. She loved my kids and all of their friends that came to visit.The last six months or so we noticed she was showing her age. She was getting weak in her rear legs, was diagnosed with arthritis in her spine, and seemed to just be a little off. Last Thursday my son called me at work in a panic letting me know Franny couldn't walk. I rushed home and he was right so carried her to the car and rushed to the emergency vet. The emergency vet believed she had lesions on her brain, a brain tumor, a blood clot or she stroked. I asked the hard question about her quality of life and was told she had very little. We knew what we had to do. Even my 12 year old said she shouldn't be in any more pain. She is now running freely with Rusty and Solo and all her other doggy friends.

JohnF Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 So sorry that your beautiful Franny had to leave you.
