Guest Snowy8 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 (edited) A really greyt pupper went to the bridge last night...We will miss you Ely We just wanted to let everyone know that Ely is no longer in pain. He had been doing well until yesterday afternoon. We took them all to the park Saturday morning for a short walk as we usually do on the weekends and he did great. But he became in great pain late Saturday afternoon. We had given him the pain meds he was on but it did not help much. We had talked with Dr. Pearce several times during this. He was in Union city but as soon as he got back he called us and we meet him at the clinic. After he saw Ely we all agreed it was time so he would not suffer any longer. Dr. Pearce has been of great support to us and the greys and we thank him. Thanks to everyone for their prayers and support Ely (our pretty little fat boy ) will be greatly missed.

TheFullHouse Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Robert and Becky, my heart is breaking for both of you. What a sweet, beautiful boy Ely was. We will keep you in our prayers! Godspeed sweet Ely. For those of you who donated to the Coolfeet raffle, Robert and Becky are the wonderful people who adopted sweet Coolfeet after her heartworm treatments.

Guest Snowy8 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Becky & Robert...I am so sorry to hear this news...when I talked to Cynde last night she said that you had to leave early to go home to help Becky with Ely. I know how you feel right now & I wish I could take away the pain...but you made the right decision for your baby...he's where there is no pain, no fleas or ticks, no heartworms & no cancer. He's running pain free in the fields & he's with other greyhounds...including Nadine. In fact, she probably was the first to meet him at the bridge. I know your hearts are breaking as all of us at MSGAO are feeling your pain with you. It is never ever easy to make "that" decision but we know its not about us, its about them. Their mission is to keep us happy & always laughing & smiling at the silly little things they do. When their life is no longer any fun, and their missions are no longer making them happy also, then it is time to let them go. I will keep you in my prayers asking God to give you strength thru this time. I will try my best to keep you both happy & laughing when I'm around you & if you want, we can share some tears too. Ely was my buddy. I posted on Greytalk for you along with a picture of him with Pegasus & Hercules from last summer. Call me if you need anything.
