Your hound can be featured as a Loved Hound, too. Just bid in Greyhound Gang's on-line auction (during the first two weeks of every month) for your chance to be spotlighted. Or bid to feature a friend's hound, as a present. Once you've won, you'll email me pictures and text, and the following month, this is where you and your hound will be. Loved Hound. Our wish - love for them all.
We adopted Josie, a beautiful brindle girl, when she was 3 years old. Josie and Sophie (both greyhounds) were immediately best friends from the first day they met. Where one was the other wasn't far behind.
Josie taught me to relax and take things as they come even if things seemed out of control. Everyday when I came home I would lay on Josie's bed with her and talk to her about my day and then I would take a deep breath to relax and Josie would throw her head back and sigh really loud with her bottom lip quivering as if she understood and to let me know that it was all going to be o.k.
Josie's two favorite things were going for rides in the car and going on vacation to the beach.
She enjoyed laying in the sand.
She also loved stuffy toys but not just any stuffy toys, she loved the teeny tiny ones. She would gather all of them and put them in her bed then she woould look at her bed then at me as if she wanted me do something about the mess because there was no space for her to lay. She never chewed on anything but when we left to go to work or out for awhile we would come home to all of my shoes nicely place in her bed or somewhere in the room where her bed was.
She loved hanging out with her other greyhound friends.
Josie was our medical mistery child from the day we got her. She had seizures and no one could get a handle on it. Then she had broken her little toe on her back foot. Many small things had popped up over the years that were mysteries to us and our vet.
The sickness that sent her to the bridge was no exception. She had gotten really sick and couldn't keep her food down. We had taken her to OSU and they also felt this was a mystery. We tried everything but nothing was working. She'd been sick for two months, and Josie tried her best to stay happy and not show any weakness. But then, she lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks and was really weak. We had to make the decision.
It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do and I am very grateful that my dear friend and Josie's favorite friend (who always tried to get Josie to smile at her) was there with us when she went to the bridge. Josie left us 2 months before her 11 birthday. I miss my sweet girl Josie.
