rebeccamcl Posted November 28 Posted November 28 Eight years ago on Boxing Day 2016, I went to look for a greyhound and this big black boy ran up to me and tried to climb in my lap. Love at first sight and I brought him home. He was from Ireland and came to this country through a group called Flying Irish Greyhounds. Manny and I bonded quickly and had a lot of adventures. We traveled to the redwoods of California, up to Artists Point on Mount Baker, and to Yellowstone National Park twice. I took him to work with me sometimes, and worked from home most of the time the last several years. He was my heart dog. We went out for a walk today, and everything was fine. I was going to visit a neighbor and as we got to her building he let out a yelp and collapsed. He couldn't get up even when I tried to help him, and he just laid his head down and died. I think he had a stroke or aneurism. It was a shock. He was twelve year sold. 10 Quote Rebecca and Manny

DocsDoctor Posted November 28 Posted November 28 I am so sorry for your loss of your beloved companion, coming out of the blue like that. Such a shock for you, but for him quick at least, and hopefully neither frightening or painful. Run free dear Manny, knowing that you were well loved 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.
