Guest how888 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 My heartfelt sympathy to you at this tragic passing of your beloved Salvador. My heart aches for you for I can feel your pain. I had a very hard time with Howie's things also and put them away so I never had to look at them again. When Nike came into our life we bought everything new. Just believe that "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" your Salvador is watching over you. Linda and Nike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BrockGusDad Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 ... My house seems so empty without him to greet me. My cats are really confused that he isn't here. But I am not alone in my grief, for each of you share it as you remember your precious bridge kids. Thank you. May all of your houses never be without the love of a pet. 1435190[/snapback] Martha, while I have already posted, this post struck me. Perhaps my story can help others. I have been greyless for 2 years, ten months, fifty days. The memories of the seven greys I have been co-owned by however are all around me (not to mention the countless ones fostered). My place resembles a sanctuary of memories- those who have passed, statues of greys given as gifts (one by a dear grey friend from NJ who passed last year from cancer), pictures of my "nieces and nephews" from around the country, my Greyhound Guardian bracelet sent to me by Snoopy who has been miraculously battling osteo for over a year (due, I am sure, to the pizza $ I send regularly ). I live precariously, hopefully soon to be replaced by several greys. I have so often commented on the magic of greys. In my case, a grey- Commander BROCKington- saved me from the deep abyss of my daughter's brutal murder. I know of what I speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBass Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I'm so sorry. Perhaps his spirit did not give up, only his poor body couldn't go on. I still have a box full of treasured reminders of my first "dog of my very own"--the beloved dachshund Claire, who was with me for 17 great years. For days after her death, I kept everything just as it had been for so many years--bed, food dishes, toys all in place. I couldn't bear to take them up (as if somehow that made her loss final?). Then there came a day when I couldn't bear to see her things anymore--reminders of the horrid loss. I boxed up the things I didn't want to part with. Trust your own timing--your emotions/heart/mind will tell you when it is time for each step in grief and healing. It is important to let yourself grieve as much and as long as you need to-- that is an important step in healthy healing. I cried off and on for months after Claire's death. I still tear up thinking of her loss after 10 years, but mostly I have all the happy memories of her and you will have all the happy, loving memories of Salvador to keep him as a loving and beloved presence in your life.

Guest trevdog Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I'm so sorry for your loss. I too have most of Trevor's things put away, but a few are still out where I can see them every day. His leash and collars are on a mantle with his remains and a picture of us together. His comforters my two greys use and I still think of him nesting in them too. And I still have a goofy picture of him on my nightstand.... We were living in an apt when Trevor was diagnosed with OS, waiting on our new home to be completed. 3 weeks before we were to move, he left us for the Bridge. I kept all his belongings on his bed until we moved, then put most of them away at our new home. The next day we adopted Ossie. I guess what I'm saying is take as long as you need. It helped me to have his things around. For others it's a sad reminder. Do what feels best for you.... Godspeed, dear Salvador. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest auntiesara Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 We're so sorry for the loss of Salvador. You might want to give his toys to your adoption agency so that someone can play with them.

Guest jettcricket Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I'm so terribly sorry for your loss....how sad. You never had the chance to love on him after his surgery. I feel your pain. I, too, lost my first greyhound to Osteo. I read this post last night and cried for you, me and so many others who have lost their beloved pets. I'm sure my boy Chance was their to great Salvador.
