Lost a truly Great Friend this Morning

Misty the rescue Greyhound had been with us for 9 and a half years.

These dogs are amazing Misty the 35 mph coach potato took her early retirement very seriously.

She was just wonderful, easy going never pushy unless she needed to go out. She just wanted to know that her pack was safe and sound.

She started having back problems last December but we seemed to have that under control until Monday when she slipped and fell, She had a much harder time walking and moving about. We took her to the vet yesterday and they sent her home with stiffer meds but once she got back into the house she was never able to get up again. She had a very rough night and we went back to the vet this AM for xrays. 3 ruptured disks.

We stayed with her until the end, she really fought the sedation but she is in a much better place now.

God Speed Misty there will never be another one like you.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I know how you feel. I went through the same thing back in December.

Damn man, very sorry.

I found out last week that the dog that I left with my ex wife had to be put down in December. She still hasn't contacted me about it.

Loosing a member of your family, be they two legged or four, is a hell of a thing.
