He was truly one of the best...

This morning one of the most handsome, sweetest, gentlest best, greyhounds I know crossed the bridge...

Coy was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) in early September and fought a valliant battle.  Even on Friday, he greeted me at the gate at Anne and Ben's with a smile and a stuffy in his mouth.  When I would pay attention to Mezzie, he would go lay down on his pillow, but every time I came back to the gate to see Zoe, he would come hopping back over on his 3 legs.  

I dont know how many greyhounds were adopted because people met Coy, but Im sure that it is more than I can count on two hands.    

Run free, sweet, handsome, black boy - free from the pain of dreaded osteo.

Until we meet again, handsome boy, enjoy your twinkies and oreos and know that you are dearly missed down here...

White light and Godspeed!

Osteosarcoma

I will never, never, NEVER understand the terrible disease that is osteosarcoma.  It has taken far too many of these sweet, gentle dogs far before their time should be up...

And it will take another all too soon...

Coy - Ive only known you for a short time, less than a year, but I will never forget you.  Watching you work your 'magic' on anyone who met you has truly been a gift.  

White light and Godspeed!
