laurie Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 My heart is breaking for you. Hug your hounds, everyone. You never know when they will be taken from you, and no time is ever long enough for them to be in your lives. Cody knew love.

maximum Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Karen, thank you for that beautiful tribute - I hope recalling your happy memories of your Cody helped you and made you smile. His personality and joy just shines through in your words and his pictures. He was happy - he knew love, he gave love and he passed on with love literally surrounding him. I'm not sure who wrote this, or even where I saw it anymore, but I find the word comforting when I think of my family (fur and skin) members that are waiting for me...

Guest greythunder Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 What a wonderful memorial to a wonderful boy! Someday, when the time is right, Cody will send another grey to be part of your family. Thank you for loving Cody like you did!!! He was a better dog, and you were a better mom for having done so. You held him when he needed you, and you were loving enough to know that his turn to cross the bridge had come and that nothing you did or didnt do was going to stop that. You loved Cody so very well. Good Job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiffer Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 OMG, Such a short retirement. Makes me so very sad... withholding tears only because I'm at work. Inside I cry.

Guest MomofCash Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 What a beautiful, beautiful tribute to Sweet Cody .... I had to catch up on posts to see what happened and I just sit here at my computer in a daze ... that this has happened to ya'll so quickly and so tragically. I pray that you keep your beautiful memories always close to your heart of Cody and that Bailey begins to open up to you and Michelle. You, Michelle and Bailey will be in my thoughts and prayers and while we don't know each other ... if there is anything I can do, if you need an ear, a shoulder ... someone to cry with ... I'm here. I feel like we've all lost a wonderful friend .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest auntiesara Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Tears here as well. As others have mentioned at least he knew happiness with his forever family if only for a short time.

Greytlady94 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 What beautiful memories of Cody. I am so sorry he left so quickly, he must have been needed at the Bridge. I know all too well the pain you are feeling. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God's speed sweet Cody. Quote Greyhound angels at the bridge- Casey, Charlie, Maggie, Molly, Renie, Lucy & Teddy.

kjw Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 Thanks, all of you, for your very kind and supportive thoughts. It has helped tremendously over the past very long week. I thought you would like to know, over at Rooandrant.com they have named their new "Remembrance" section 'Cody's Corner', after our beloved Cody. I love the name, and when I receive Cody's ashes next week, I will be putting them in his favorite spot to dig, in the corner of the garden, which will also be named Cody's Corner. I will post pics when it's done. Thank you all again, so very much, for helping myself and my family through this difficult time.

Guest Kirsten Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Tears here and a lump in my throat. That is a beautiful post of remembrance. Nothing can ever make up for your loss or remove your grief but you have many treasured memories. A lady once said to me at a meet and greet that one day in retirement is worth the lifetime of racing for these dogs. Cody knew unconditional love from his family and from Bailey and he passed away quickly and whilst doing what he liked to do best. You will never forget him and he will never forget you. Enjoy the rest of your retirement Cody - the world is truly your oyster now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest D_MansMommy Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 (edited) I'm so sorry for your loss When I first read about it in the other topic I was at a loss for words. I still am.

Guest armanntoo Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 (edited) I was talking to Bill and Freddie recently, and they told me of your loss. I had the pleasure of meeting Cody when he was still at the farm, and what a lovely boy he was. I am sure that he will be missed, but also that he will be remembered fondly.

kjw Posted April 26, 2004 Author Share Posted April 26, 2004 Well, I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since Cody passed away. It seems like 2 years. The first week was horrible, only made better by all your wonderful support. As I said in other posts, Bailey was the hardest hit of all of us. After thinking it over and talking with many people, we did decide to bring Lou home, and he has been a huge help to Bailey. Lou has also helped distract me from the loss of Cody, but I still think of him many times every day, and I miss him so much sometimes, I still cry about it. I picked up Cody's ashes a few days ago, but I just can't bury them yet. They sit on our mantle, a subtle reminder of my beautiful boy. I feel angry sometimes to think that's all that's left of him. And angry that he never even had one summer to enjoy his retirement. He deserved at least that, he ran his heart out for 125 races, and only had a few months to enjoy some relaxation and pet life. I am grateful that I took so many pictures of him, so that we can always have those to look at, and remember what a wonderful dog he was. And we do have our memories, but it just doesn't feel like that's enough. I miss my beautiful pupper.

Guest Dancers_Dad Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Hi Karen, There is a small poster on the wall at GRA Kennel. It's called The Greyhound Prayer. It reads something like this: When I die. Let it be as a Pet So someone will remember me. Cody's time with you was short indeed. But because of you, his prayer was answered. You were the only one to know Cody, BUT WE WILL ALL REMEMBER HIM Take Care. Kirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
