Guest guest Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 I havent visited the site in a while. I am SO on the verge of losing it...I cry all the time now. Between my Dad and this latest unrelated thing: We took my parent's precious 4 year old retired racing greyhound to the vet the other day because she had a sore leg and was limping. Thought it was a pulled tendon or something that you would expect of a dog that races around the yard at 45 MPH...had an xray....Endear has bone cancer and will die in 5-6 weeks. The cancer has eaten almost all the way through her leg..so her leg could snap at any moment. I posted a new pic I took of Endear about a week ago. Life is so unfair....ok, starting to bawl my eyes out... Some of you are probably wondering why Im so upset..she's not even MY dog. But I truly believe god brought us to THAT dog. I told my mom she had to rescue a greyhound. That eliminated all other breeds. Had to be female...my Mom wanted a girl. That eliminated all the males. Had to be fawn, that eliminated all the blacks, blues, brindles etc. We " trial " walked one fawn dog, but I just knew that was the wrong dog. We went back into the kennel and found Endear kenneled in a little cage, not even able to turn around, and I just KNEW she was the ONE. I have no regrets about picking that dog, despite the fact that my heart is breaking. In her face you can see her gentle temperament. On her body you can see horrendous scars and that her spine has been broken in racing injuries. But in her eyes you can see so much love and gratitude.... Sorry to ramble on about this...I am just devastated... Hope you are all keeping well. Miss you... Coyote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Coyote, Endear was obviously meant to come to your family's house to finish her life. You love her very much. Sounds like she is going to give you a preview run at the next stage you are all going to have to be going through. I believe she isn't at your house by accident. You will get to do some more of the grieving that you must do in your life. I am so sorry this happen to your family..Be kind to yourself and her.
