Guest LynnM Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 The sweet Old Man of the Clinic passed away yesterday. He was 12 1/2 and had been the main blood donor at work since he retired from the track at the age of 4. This boy would do ANYTHING for marshmallows, especially, ironically enough, the little marshmallow bunnies that they sell at Easter. I think everyone who worked at the clinic for any length of time was guilty at some time or other of tossing him marshmallows (he was GREAT at catching them) until (*OOPS*) the whole bag was gone. These old guys never live long enough.... I'll miss ya, Old Man. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Go with God, old fellow. And over there, across the bridge, I hope you will find someone gentle and sweet to toss you marshmallows from one end of eternity to the next.

Guest LynnM Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 One other funny about Seatac- his father, whoever he was- there's no record other than his name had one of the all-time GOOFIEST names in greyhound history: Dr. Spanky!

Elvis Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 In the eight years Seatac donated blood, how many other dogs lives did he save? He ran his heart out for his trainers and gave his blood/soul to save others. Put a Purple Heart on Old Mans grave, as he was wounded go many times to save others.
