Re: Z and a Greyhound
Scott,
Yes, it is hard to lose them and you must have been really attached with 18 years of experience. With a greyhound rescued after racing you get them at around four years of age as adults and with luck they live to 11 and she made it to 12 1/3rd but her age related issues were just too much so it was time and she knew it and I knew it. Details aren't important as it makes for a very tough week. Even Maxie is unsettled with a quieter house and keeps looking at me more or less asking where her buddy, Kate is. It has been a tough week but I'm paying extra attention to Maxie to try and make the transition easier. Hard on me as I am a widower for five years now and these two girls really have been my day to day family and I just turned 70 in age. Still, life could be far worse so looking for the good things is where I try and spend time...
I'm going to stick with just one from now on though. My vet has four boys who need to go to college and his rates tho he is excellent reflect that. More food, more work, more effort and it is much, much simpler and cheaper with one especially when I travel and pay kennel bills.
