JedsMom Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I'm so sorry to hear of Old Fella's passing. He was a special boy and has left behind a legacy. My heart broke just to see his name under the remembrance section. Run free, Old Fella.

Guest maryinmadison Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I, too, followed Old Fellas story and my heart breaks with this news. You provided wonderful sunset years for Old Fella and you will meet him again - and as BurpDog said, in the meantime, Magic is showing him the joys of Rainbow Bridge.

Guest Ladyluther Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 To Old Fella-a dog who was beloved by everyone. He was always in our thoughts from the first day we read his story. We could see his physical appearance and stature improve. We read everytime there was a posting about his recovery to his warmth and responding love. Thank you Cheryl for giving him all he needed in his later years. He was well loved by you, your family and the greyhound world. 1355646[/snapback] ********************************************************** Irene, I could never have said it better. I will always have such wonderful memories of him. Bless his good soul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kimlynn Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 (edited) PAtsy- My sister and I have Rita-she's still here and a spry old gal. Maybe I'll start another thread later today or tomorrow and post some picts. They did get to see each other a few times in the weeks before he passed on. Still missing you, old guy.

Guest greytgreymom Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Thanks everyone for the kind words and remembrances of Old Fella. Over the past 18 months or so, he touched so many lives. Along with Scott and I as his caretakers, it was the love and positive energy he received from the Greyhound community as a whole which kept that old guy going. I turned to Scott last night while we were watching T.V. and said, "you realize, that house is so darn quiet now without Old Fella's woofs." Although we are always surrounded by the gentle breathing, melodious "toots", and sometimes "under the breath" growls of the multitude we have here, it was always Old Fella's throaty woofs that rang true and clear letting everyone know he was still a presence to be dealt with. What Old Fella gave to me was a renewed appreciation for the Advanced Age Senior Greyhounds. Ones that some people may feel are not worth the time and effort. Ones that may take a bit more time and energy to care for. But ones who give back twice the love you give to them. I said many times that Old Fella taught me the true resiliency of the Greyhound spirit. After all he had been through, to come into our home and our lives and just be as trusting and loving as he was. It will remain as much an inspiration to me as it will a mystery always. Still can't think about him without the tears flowing. Miss that old guy so much. Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
