Nadine Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) As many of you know, I adopted Mooney a year after my beloved Paddy died. Strange coincidence... Mooney was born the day Paddy left for the bridge. But with this crazy little critter I gained a wonderful friend in his breeder Karen. She still feels involved in her boy's life and gifted him and his new siblings Abu and Saoirse with these gorgeous coats. In addition she invited us to visit her in her humble home to get to know her kennels (dogs live as pets in the small house 😉) and go to the track with Mooney to promote greyhound adoption. So, 2024 we will be travelling from Germany to Ireland to visit Mooney's little hut he was born and raised in 😍 Kilcolgan Castle, Galway Edited February 22, 2023 by Nadine Awful spelling and grammar 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocsDoctor Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 What a wonderful trip that will be! And meanwhile how remarkably smart they all look in their fine new coats - like three mini-racehorses. And racehorses are also very much an Irish export, of course - as an Irish friend of mine once told me 'back home, everyone sets their dreams riding on either a dog, or a horse.' Quote Clare with Tiger (Snapper Gar, b. 18/05/2015), and remembering Ken (Boomtown Ken, 01/05/2011-21/02/2020) and Doc (Barefoot Doctor, 20/08/2001-15/04/2015)."It is also to be noted of every species, that the handsomest of each move best ... and beasts of the most elegant form, always excel in speed; of this, the horse and greyhound are beautiful examples."----Wiliam Hogarth, The Analysis of Beauty, 1753.

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...
