greysmom Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Today's the 11th Anniversary of the Great International Houndie Handoff. We lost our sweet Whiskey boy 4 years ago, and Lilly just last February, so this is a very bittersweet day full of memories. We might need to have a Dubbel Meat Turnkey Sammich from Subway to honor their presence in our lives today. A celebration of the power of greyhounds and the greyhound community to bring people together. Today was the day when my friend Jennie P and I met Debbie Ward and John Ward in Peace Park, Blaine WA to do the Great International Houndie Handoff! Whiskey came from Vermont, and Lilly from Alberta, Canada due to the most wonderful friends on the planet! That includes Donna Deskin, too! We spent the night in Blaine and then drove home the next day to meet the other dogs and the Daddieman.

jenners Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Awwwww, that was one of the best nights of my life, sitting up with those 2, watching Lily shove Whiskey out of the big bed, taking them up the icy driveway every 2 hours all night long to potty, and watching Lily and Whiskey bond for life in such a new and scary situation. I'm forever grateful to have been part of it. I miss Lily and Whiskey every day. She was so LITTLE ... and got so BIG. Butt somehow I never thought of her leaving us behind. Rest well, my 2 houndie friends, you are so loved.
