charbess Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Our darling girl Cooper joined the angels Feb. 8, 2019. Osteo claimed another. When we lost our first two to this awful disease we promised never to let another linger if that was the diagnosis. True to our word, we took the pain upon ourselves that day but leaving the vet's without her hurt like hell. No last rides in the car, no last favorite meals. Now I mourn for her and these rituals...feel like I cheated her, or more accurately, that life cheated her. She was only 9 and had been a good, good girl for the 6 years we had shared our home with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re running free together. Quote Xavi the galgo and Peter the cat.

Greystoked Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 My dear Macoduck, please accept our apologies for my incredible incompetence in responding so late with our grateful thanks for including my poor Joey in this remembrance list. I fear I am not very good at this forum stuff, and I remember you from those many aeons ago, so you probably recall I wasn't very good at it then as well. Your kind words here are a comfort to us all. Thank you. Quote "To leave the world a somewhat better place than it was when you came into it."

Rest assured that Joey is in good company over the Bridge.

Greystoked Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Thank you. I think that is especially bad, losing someone on a holiday. I was afraid Joey wouldn't make it past Christmas, since he came to us near Christmas, which would've ruined the entire holiday season for poor Mary. I am very sorry to hear of Mazy's passing. Right now we are just hoping another fine hound will show up needing a home. Mary has investigated a few shelters near us, and she has even considered a cat despite not being much of a cat person. I haven't been able to feel much enthusiasm. I can't imagine anything other than another greyhound. But I fully support her, and only insisted on cleaning the place up a bit first. Having had dogs, cats, birds, fish, frogs-lizards-snakes and more as a kid, I'm happy to share time with anything. Of course what I really want, what we both want, is to have our Joey back with us. And Sweetie. Bear and Duke as well, even Frank if he promises never to latch onto/hang from Mary's arm ever again. And I guess that's natural, and everyone here can relate. But life is life and continues on, and the point, it seems to me, is to keep up and prepare for the next adventure. We'll just have to be patient, like everyone else, to see our dear boys again.
