RaineysMom Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) after losing our Zeke on 7/20 and then Larry on 8/2, we found ourselves ready to open up our hearts to another greyhound this past Friday. Please let me introduce Rick (r/n Rick Roufus) he turned 4 on 6/30 and had 127 races over 2.5 years! Quite the athlete. He is very sweet, TINY (67#?), SUPER smart, highly food motivated (which after battling to get Zeke to eat for over 3 years, this is truly a good thing! but working on the counter surfing ) and is a descendant of both Gable Dodge (which Anubis [Rj's Saint Nick] and Larry [PTL Laroach] shared and also Brett Lee (which was Larry's grandpa) (LOVE the GD pups! - just look at those EARSIES!!!). since he's fresh off the track (3 of our angels were bounces so in a house before coming here and Anubis was fostered first) we are learning together to do things like scary STAIRS, and noises that are scary but he is so smart he is doing great so without further ado, Mr. Rick!!!!!

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 heal and 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 post Share on other sites
