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.

okslater Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 Bad news. It's a super aggressive, never seen before in a greyhound (by the cancer department in Edinburgh) sarcoma: Splenic Histiocytic sarcoma - haemophagocytic. It's a real nasty one. It's everywhere digesting her red blood cells. She is home with us now and looks a terrible state. She was really stressed out yesterday but is calm today, but the light has gone out in her. I think we will be booking her departure tomorrow. I am so, so sad. I have no kids and she was my little girl. I'm glad I have another dog because otherwise I wouldn't get one ever again this pain is so intense! The thought of doing this over and over again is terrible.

okslater Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 Thanks, everyone. We keep hearing her whistle at us around the house. She's wrapped into the fabric of the building. We got her shortly after we bought this house so it's really strange her not being here. She was also our timekeeper so we've slept in late since she's gone. We have no one whistling and barking at us to tell us it's time to get up/feed/go for a walk/have a nap. We found this trait really annoying about her when we first got her but adapted to her strict regime, and now we're totally aimless without it. Do other greyhounds whistle and keep strict schedules? Our other grey has no concept of time or space, and totally relied on her to boss him around too, so he's also disorientated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
