Finnsliz Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 We had to make the hardest decision for our almost 11yo big, handsome, loving beast , Snap. He was diagnosed with Anaplasmosis 2weeks ago and treated with Doxy. First week showed good improvement. Second week things went downhill fast, most likely due to blood loss or cancer. Our Youngest greyhound, Snowee, took over his caregiving in the last week and told us he was ready. She was never more than a couple feet away from him. He was not physically in a place to do anymore exploring. We made the decision with our vet Monday morning. He was 82 pounds of love with a HUGE prey drive (several wood chuck kills, turkey feather mouthfuls, and 2 close encounters with skunks. He also chased a deer through our yard and got a hold of its hock before it escaped over our fence.) He was FAST! He loved his dog companions and everyone he met. He especially loved his vet, Dr Sarah Curry, who came in on her morning off to send him peacefully off. He will be missed💔 Quote <p>Finn, Wink, Birdie, Snap and SmokeyJG Quicknfast 7/25/99-5/16/08, JG Quickwink 7/25/99-9/22/13, Iruska SweetDuv 7/19/03-11/9/16, Delbar 6/11/11 and Catahoula Smokey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racindog Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 My deepest sympathy. Snap sounds like an awesome guy. He will be with you always. Be openminded as he might send you a sign to let you know he arrived at the bridge safely and is now well. Until we meet again.. You say that all you have left are memories but this is not so. You see, when I took leave of my earthly body I left a little something behind for you.You can't touch it, hold it or examine it, for what I left behind is far too uninhibited for confinement.I left in your tender care a piece of my soul.I placed it right next to your own which is quite fitting as we were always side by side in our earthly life together. I love you too much to have left you with nothing but memories that tend to fade and grow cloudy as the years go by.I love you too much to have vanished without a trace. How selfish it would be of me to remove love and light from your life. I understand your tears, each one you shed is testament to your love for me and I am honored and humbled.But don't forget the good things we shared - remember and smile. This is an honor for me as well.When you need me I will be here. Close your eyes, relax, take slow, deep breaths and picture me in your mind.Shut off the world and your notions of what you think death is and give me a chance.Look for the subtle signs I send you.Don't stop being proud of me, I am a friend to be proud of, I am still your friend and soul mate.Don't memorialize the death of my body but instead honor and celebrate my never-ending life for it is eternal and forever as is my love for you. Until we meet again... (Only part of a very long heart felt poem by Terri Oronato) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
