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...

gr8kids Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I'm soo sorry for your loss. Though she was in your life for a short time, you gave her the best world she could know. In that time, she gave you so much. Just know she is running free at the bridge and painfree. Hugs to you!

mrsmcd7 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 We lost our 10 year old hound suddenly in September. I'm sorry for your loss. It is so hard. The people here on greytalk really helped me. What also helped our family was putting together a memory book on Shutterfly. Now we have a nice book we can open and look at whenever we want to remember our Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilliesMom Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 So terribly sorry. Our greyhound, too, was okay, and then started screaming and couldn't walk. They couldn't find out what was going on, but as she was almost 15 and never would be the same, we had to put her to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiffwee Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Awww sweet Moonshine. Gosh, I know Im late reading this but Im so very sorry...crying my eyes out. It hurts so much to lose them at any age, but suddenly like that, and at such a young age makes no sense. My heart goes out to you.

charbess Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I hate that this is my first post here, but I feel like I need to get this out to help the healing. Yesterday my wife and I lost our first Greyhound suddenly. She was a beautiful vibrant 4 year old girl named Moonshine. We only had her for three months, but her sweet personality made it feel like we had her for 30 years, and we're completely lost without that baby. Her favorite things included swinging her rope toys around and launching them at the wall to chase after them, getting the zoomies upstairs and jumping into the beds at each end of the upstairs, peanut butter filled kongs when we went to work, and snuggling with us every second that we were home. Yesterday, she was happy as could be and snuggled in bed with us for an hour as we pet her and woke up. The last thing she was doing was jumping from her bed to our rug downstairs because she was excited that I gave her her prized possession, a raw hide bone that she only got on the weekends because she'd chew on it until her gums bled if we left her with it too long. During that excitement, she did something she NEVER did. She put the bone down within a few minutes of receiving it and laid down on her bed. She never let that thing go willingly, and I had to trick her with a treat to get it from her every time even if she had been chewing on it for two hours straight. Thinking nothing of it, I called her upstairs with me, and she brought the bone with her only to put it down again immediately in my office, she stood in the middle of my office and began crying (she never cries), so I figured she had to go pee. She moved downstairs unusually slowly and after she finished peeing she held her squat shaking for another 10 - 15 seconds. That really helped me notice something was seriously off. She came in and slowly moved upstairs, but never picking her head up above her shoulders, just letting it slink down. She went into her bed next to my wife's and my bed and began crying and her muscles near her neck began to spasm. Within a minute she moved onto my wife's and my bed, this was the last time she ever moved by herself. We were immediately on the phone with a nearby vet who referred us to an animal hospital 12 minutes down the road. I called Moonshine to see if she would come with me downstairs. She tried moving her upper body, but her legs were completely paralyzed, and she couldn't stand so I carried her from upstairs into the car. During the car ride, she was convulsing and her tongue turned completely blue and she foamed at the mouth. By the time we got her to the hospital she had stopped breathing. In the hospital they had to have a tube in her throat and pump to breathe for her, but they thought it was either an embolism or acute neck injury that could have happened while she was playing either from a genetic issue or old racing issue that was never noticed. In about an hour our baby went from jumping for joy with a toy to gone. We weren't ready for this, but I just needed to post this somewhere for my sake to get this out. I'm sure all of you do, but just be sure to give your pups extra love. You never know when the time could come. Spoil them, love on them, and give them everything that they deserve. Do me a favor. For Moonshine, please just go hug your dogs now and give them a kiss. Let them know how much you love them and how lucky you are to have them. We don't deserve dogs, but we're so lucky that they think we do. Mommy and Daddy love you Moonshine, you may have only won one race, but you will always be #1 in our hearts. So very sorry...beautiful, beautiful girl. Godspeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
