Unfortunately at 6pm this evening our poor Suzy had to be PTS. She wasn't just a pet she was family, a friend and the best dog I could have ever have asked. She was a role model for any dog she was kind, sweet and loving. Everyone who met her fell in love with her. We have the best memories of her and will carry on her name by thinking and speaking of her. Rest in peace my sweet sweet princess, we all miss you and woll love you forever.

Bertiesmum, i am so sorry. I really don't know what to say? I've been there myself, not that, that's any consolation, with one of my greyhounds but can totally understand the total heart wrenching, feeling of devastation you are feeling right now. It is horrendous, trust me, i know how it feels.
It probably sounds cliche, but nonetheless it is obviously true, and i mean it when i say, your dog had a good and loving home. Hard to believe now, but time does heal, and you will eventually get to that point where you can think happy thoughts and smile, but still miss them nonetheless. But in the meantime, cry as much as you need to, call your most trusted friends, chat and feel understandably as miserable as you feel. Aside from your closest friends, you also have various of us on here. Take good care, and lots of love and healing thoughts going out to yourself and your family at this horrible time, and also for your lovely hound who is probably running over that rainbow bridge now with my Greyhound Ruthie xx

Thankyou, I have been crying lots and remembering all of the good times we had with her. Suzy was 19years old (wasn't a greyhound ) she was an alsation who was malnurished when she was a puppy so she never grew that tall. We got her through a "friend" ( he prefered his girlfriend and gave suZy up) she was the best dog at walking, she walked to heal, sat at the curb and waited until we told her to get up. She sat, layer down, gave paw and rolled the ball to you. She barked during the day and "moofed" at night. She begged in the most cute way, she would sit down and place her paw on your lap and stare. When cheesestrings first came out, we were eating one and had made a shape with it, I wiggled it and she jumped on the air and gobbled the lot up! I miss her so much and would give anything up to get my sweet baby back :-(

I am so sorry to hear the sad news about Suzy. We, too, know the horrible emptiness and pain that one feels at times like this and our hearts go out to you. You have often posted lovingly of her on the forum and she had become an honorary member of the greyhound community. Take care of yourself and remember that, as time passes, you will smile more and more and cry less and less when you think of her. RIP Suzy

Run free dear Suzy.

I miss her so much and would give anything up to get my sweet baby back :-( Apologies, Bertiesmum. I've only recently joined the forum, and was unaware of Suzy's breed. I feel really awful, assuming she was a greyhound. The other breed i've owned in the past were Dobermanns, but the heartbreak is all the same, no matter the breed, but as said, i sincerely apologise. I love German Shepherds also, and she sounded a dear little girl. 19 years old! That is an amazing age. Already you are having fond memories of her, despite your absolute and felt heart-ache. As said, hang onto those and never forget them, and grieve for your girl. That is the start of your healing. As said, lots of love and healing thoughts going out to you xx

It IS an amazing age - 19 - is just incredible. The only dog I ever got to 19 was a Dachshund. The large breeds normally just cant compete.
Never the less Cassie, so sorry to hear you have lost your darling Suzy - but I'm sure she will always be with you, and in your heart, and will be waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge. Much love and healing thoughts coming your way. We have all been there xx

You are seemingly right, Ruby,... they are always with you and waiting! Sorry if this cause offence to various others beliefs, but i went to a Spiritualist Church a few months back. The Medium on that occasion happened to come to me and said 'I have a white greyhound here with you.' She didn't know me from Adam, or my Ruthie, who could have been white, black, sky-blue pink. She didn't know nothing about me. However she said that. And yes, my dearly loved greyhound who passed away was white.
As said Bertiesmum, I've no doubt your Miss Suzy is running over that Rainbow Bridge with that White greyhound right now. xx

You don't have to apologise, when we got her ( she had 3 owners before ( her mum was bred by travellers, they didn't want the pups so they threw them I to a rubbish skip ,,the oils then survived on rubbish and a family heard yapping noises and bought Suzy, they took her to the vets and found that she had the biggest tape worm they had ever seen, this is why she was so tiny. The family then took her home to there other dog which was a boxer. The boxer attacked her which left her scared and not wanting to get on with other dogs, the family then spoke to there family friend and he reho ed her; he took her everywhere, taught her to walk off the lead perfectly. Then he got a girlfriend who was jelous of her, she would leave Suzy to walk the streets all day until he got home; this is where we stepped in. We bought her home and she was terrified; but after many reassuring cuddles she settled in perfectly! We had had her for 12.5 years and that is when I bought bertie home we were worried she nay bite him as she didn't trust other dogs) but she waited for him to lay down and layer in the gap between his front and back legs. She was amazing with him, bit she always had control, if bertie was eating his food, she would barge him out of the way and steal it! And he would let her!!!! I didn't sleep well last night and neither did my mum; it feels very strange but we are just thinking of all the good times and carrying on as best we can; thankyou so much for Your kind thoughts xxx

Thankyou everyone for your kind messages, if it wasn't for bertie, scamp or lilly then I don't think we would have got through it. They have been fantastic, haven't asked for anything and have been really cuddly giving extra love and kisses which is what we need right now. I took bertie on a nice walk to my friends today which was nice as I got some time on my own to reflect on her life and also got some quality tome with bertie. I'm taking mum shopping for some retail therepy tomorrow to try and take her mind off things; suZy was more my mums dog so my mum has been hit really hard by it all. I just read rainbow bridge poem and I have to say that is touched me so much but has made me feel a littly better about it too. Here is our beautiful baby
