it always happens before christmas

[pat]

Hi All
the sad news is that three dogs homed by us over the last 6 years have died just before christmas, goldie was one of them. tarzen blonde was another and today i have just had an email to say nika tenner has also died, my sympathies go out to their owners, i know the feeling very well, the only good thing is that they will not suffer any more and will be running free.
My love to you all
pat

That is sad news - I console myself with the thought that at least they would have known all the pleasures of home life before they died and that's priceless.

I guess the longer that Greyhoundhomer runs, the more sad stories we're going to hear as our hounds grow old gracefully (or disgracefully!).

In time, of course, the loss of a much loved greyhound companion may be seen as an opportunity to home another needy hound and watch a new personality develop in the family :-)

We are both so sorry to hear this ... and its so hard at Christmas time to lose a loved one. Agree with all you said Sue, and I hope these poor owners will be able to find comfort in homeing another hound. Hugs to them all. Hazel

That's sad for the doggies families and I always feel cheated out of the years that I didn't have them for at this time. But as Sue said, the pleasures of home life are priceless.

My heart goes out to the families, in time I'm sure they'll smile and take great comfort when they remember all the good times.

Hi Pat

Is it Sally's Goldie?

It's so sad that all those lovely dogs have passed away My heart goes out to the owners.

At least they got a taste of freedom.
