Nightmare - written by Steve Corbly
Greys Nightmare, Nightie, March 23, 1998 to April 18, 2011.
A retired brood mama, Nightie found her forever home with us, when we met her at Greyhounds In Gettysburg in 2008. Her first weekend with us she stole the hearts of her greyhound brother Red Tiger Jazz and both of her humans. She knew she was home.
This adoption changed not only her life and ours, but many other greyhounds, as she was the catalyst to our starting an adoption group - GreysLanding. Her adventure became an amazing one.
It happened during one of her first visits to our vet in Wheeling, West Virginia. She attracted attention from a greyhound breeder who needed to place 2 one year old pups. Wefound those puppies homes, so you can say that Nightie was the founder of Greys Landing Greyhound Placement.
Her personality was coming out in leaps and bounds. Although she had never raced, Nightie had over 40 puppies. She met a few of them after their retirement, and let Ugo Tiger Lily come and live with us.
On her first vacation she became a hit with everyone who met her. Jazz and Nightmare accompanied us to Six Flags Atlanta in a borrowed motor home. Nightmare and Jazz bonded,and it seemed that they were always together and had not just recently met.
The walks, the fun, the people to be met. They adventures continued to Williamsburg and to Lewes, Delaware for a dip in the Atlantic, and across the ocean on the Cape May ferry. So many adventures, so much fun. Nightmare would never cease to amaze, as she took everything in stride. Including her love of pillows, which she demanded everywhere we went.
Many foster greyhounds were taught proper behaviour by Nightmare. She enjoyed being around other greys and was a true breed snob. She would protect her pack however and whenever needed.
In March 2011 Nightmare had a dental (poor gir'ls teeth were terrible, as they don't often receive the vet care needed before being adopted into a loving home). And then, very bad news as the dreaded Limp appeared. Less than a week after diagnosis she needed to leave. Osteo. With Jazz by her side Nightie went to wait at the Bridge, pain free and happy.
Nightmare you were one of a kind. You will never be forgotten. You sent us Red Dawn on the day you decided it was time. She is your legacy.
