Hermes has gone to the Bridge
« on: August 28, 2005, 10:53:08 am »
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.

Dear Jeanne,

I lost my old girl to osteosarcoma as well.

My heart goes out to you, it is so hard to let them go.

I'm so glad you  found room in your heart and home for a new 4 legged friend.

I wish you peace and acceptance, and joy in all the wondeful memories I know you have of Hermes.

I sure would love to see a photo of him. I'm fairly recent to this forum, and I don't remember seeing him.

My deepest sympathy on your loss....

Thanks much, I appreciate the support very much! I'll try to post a pic of Hermes here...I'm not too good at it, so hopefully it'll come through right. If it does, this was taken about a month before we lost him.

Most of us know the pain you are going through.  I think it is wonderful that your vet came out.   We had the same problem once and the dog was so old and never knew another place so I did not want her to go to the bridge in a strange place, so our vet came out also.  Very compassionate.  I feel your loss.

He was a beautiful dog. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I too lost my very first Rotti to osteosarcoma. It is very hard to let them go. The memories you will have forever.
You have a new focus now, enjoy making new memories with this pup.
