Time4ANap Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Back in July we officially introduced Allie, a sweet, sassy girl who came to us in rough shape medically last May. We promised her on that first night that if her body healed, she would have a home where she could thrive for as long as she wanted. Allie was co-adopted by three greyhound families so that her medical costs and needs could be met without being a burden on any one person. Allie returned the favor by getting better and becoming a family member who greeted us with chattering teeth that sounded like a machine gun, yelled at us when we didn't throw the ball fast enough and gave us a stern talking-to if breakfast wasn't coming on the time schedule she wanted. We each loved every minute that this little girl was with us. This past week, her body could no longer support that spirit, and she let us know that it was time to move on. Allie went peacefully to the bridge surrounded by her 3 mommas. DW posted the following on Facebook, which sums up pretty much everything about this special girl. Celebrating Allie - 8/28/04-3/22/18Our little Allie bug decided it was time to go to the bridge today. She came into our lives last May from a tough situation and was too sweet to let go. She gained three mamas and a daddy who spoiled her rotten. When she would see any of us, she would chatter with excitement. And being a great racer, she would fly through the yard, doing more zoomies than any of the other dogs. On walks, she would prance. If you threw a ball for Snickers, you darn well better throw one for Allie because she would assert her "old lady" rights and stomp her feet waiting for action. If there were a picture in the dictionary for "joy," this would be it. Thank you to my fellow mamas, Auntie Carol, and Mama-in-Chief, Lorinda. Thank you to my little girl, you were a blessing. I hope your spirit comes back to me someday. This video shows everything that you need to know about Allie. We weren;t sure that she would make it through the night when she arrived. This is her a short time later. A few pics from her time with us: Enjoying Rocket's Slumber Ball Enjoying a power nap And celebrating her 13th Birthday with her brother and sisters. During her time with us, we received a great deal of support from some very special friends here on GT that helped us deal with the issues of a fragile senior dog. Thank you all for your love and support of this special girl. Run-free, Allie. Thank you for letting us into your life. Quote Camp Broodie.

FiveRoooooers Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 And here I am crying for a girl dog I never met, and sending cyber hugs to her wonderful people whom I've never "met". You all gave Allie the best last chapter of her life any old girl dog could ever dream of. Thank you for that. I know you believe that she gave you more than you ever gave her. It's a wash. x a million. Godspeed sweet Allie. Find the campers who are waiting to welcome you. And please send your mommas (and daddieman) a sign. Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
