teri_d Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 As we held precious Jill in her last moments we thanked her for adopting us. I told her she was perfect…..well, except for her one fault of jumping on people when she got over excited……in that moment I forgot about the digging and the small altercation with our daughters chihuahua (it WAS all his fault after all). Someone at the farm in her history knew her well to give her the name Rowdy Jill. She was our forever puppy. Always excited to go on a walk. - whenever/where ever. So beautiful she had many admirers. She was excitable and jumped on people to show her enthusiasm. It was truly meant to be that Jill came to live with us. After her Wheeling career her owner wanted her to be a mom. Two unsuccessful tries later he turned her over to halfway home greyhounds for adoption. Jills mother had been adopted thru our group and they took her home to join her mom. But She was returned when they didn’t think mother/daughter “recognized” each other. We were supposed to be adopting another but when we went to the kennel with Ronee - she chose Jill❤️…..and they were best friends until Ronees passing. We are so happy she was a member of our family….meant to be! After losing PHOG in May to osteo it is hardly fair to have to say goodbye to Jill so soon. Our hearts are broken and our home seems empty. And so ends the greyhound chapters in our life……Whistlers Win, Rivendell Escort, K L Baby Bleu, Rollover Ronee, Beware of Phog and Rowdy Jill. Each was the best dog in the world. We now find ourselves older and not as able to manage a bigger/heavier dog. So the end of an era has come. We are blessed to have been adopted by six of the most amazing dogs in the world. I pray they are all running zoomies together waiting to greet us when we cross the rainbow bridge❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
