Johnfar Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Hi, I can't find my old log in, so have registered again. This is a sad not to let everyone know that Peggy the black greyhound has passed. She had muscle weakness and arthritis issues which had been medicated for quite a while. This morning she lost the use of her back legs and was unable to support herself any more. So I lifted her in the car and took her to the local veterinary practice. They agreed that it was her time and she passed in the back of the car very very peacefully. September 2007 to September 14 2022. She just made it to 15. I'm so sad to have needed to let her go, but thank goodness there are vets who can gently end their suffering when nothing more can be done. https://pbase.com/johnfr/image/115601741.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramonaghan Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I'm so sad to see this update, but what a great age and a wonderful life Peggy had with you. I loved the beautiful photos of your walks together over the years. She had the loveliest frosted face and the best ears. I'm so very sorry for your loss. Rest well, Peggy.

MerseyGrey Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I’m so sorry for your loss. I’d only seen photos of her as an older lady so it was lovely to see some of her as a spring chicken, exploring the moors.

DocsDoctor Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 My condolences on your sad loss. She had such a lovely life with you; all those beautiful countryside walks. And you were both blessed to have so many happy years together, even if they're not feeling enough right now.

FiveRoooooers Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Peggy lived such an adventurous and fulfilling life and to have done so to the age of 15 is a true testament to you and your love and care for her. We will miss her photos and stories. I am sure she's already made good friends at the Bridge. Take care of yourself, ok? Godspeed Peggy, on to your next adventure Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs.

Greyhoundcastle Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 So sorry that Peggy had to leave you; she was loved from afar by many and will be missed. Several of your excellent Peggy pictures have been "snatched" over the years; they will be especially treasured now that she has gained her wings.

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...
