Hi All,
Sorry I've been absent for a while, but we lost our sweet greyhound, Hermes, in July after a battle with bone cancer, and I just haven't been up to posting for a while.
We got a new dog, Harley Quinn, who we rescued via Arizona Dalmatian Rescue, before Hermes died. He enjoyed having a new friend with him during his final months, and she's really helped all of us, Goulash included, to do okay once Hermes left. Goulash misses his best friend, but his new little sister is annoying him enough that he's forced to romp and play more than he would probably like to, and that seems to be keeping his spirits up.
Our vet came to our house when it was time, so Hermes didn't have to be moved or traumatized in his last hours. He was in so much pain that we knew he was ready to go to the Bridge, but we still miss him a lot.
So, I think I'm finally ready to change my signature line and take Hermes' name off...the last thing I'm doing to say good-bye, I guess.
Anyway, just wanted to share with the group...I know all of us have or will have to face losing our beloved companions sooner or later, but it does help to have this forum to read through.
