Hi Guys,
It is our sad task to say that 17 years old Fritz had to be put to sleep this morning. He had become very frail and he collapsed last night and lost the power of his legs. His breathing had become laboured and we could not see our old boy in agony.
He had his 17th birthday party on August 1st and was given a cake and birthday cards.
Anyone who knows GRF had met him. He was the most innocent and loving of dogs and we already miss him terribly. When Tiggy, our first greyhound died, Fritz assumed the mantle of founder member of GRF and he carried the job wonderfully.
Dearest Fritz, run free over Rainbow Bridge, our most darling baby boy. We will love our memories of you forever.
Your loving Mummy and Daddy, Celia and Jimmy.
Christine and I could hardly bear to open your message - we're so sorry for your loss, God Bless old Fritzie, he's at peace now. Not just dogs to us.........
So sorry to hear Fritz has been put to sleep I know it must have been one of the hardest things you have ever had to do but you had to do it for Fritz.
I will always remember the old boy getting up from the couch and Billy taking his place as I chased Fritz down the path to the paddock, he had a fair turn of speed for an old boy, I think it must run in the family.
We are all thinking about you, Billy and Lassie will miss their pal.
Everyone connected to GRF will miss the perfect GENTLEMAN and their AMBASSADOR when having a chill out moment on the couch.
Aw Celia & Jimmy, I'm so very sorry to hear about Fritz. You must be heartbroken
He couldn't have wished for a better, more loving & caring family.
Luv & big kisses from us all

Run free at the rainbow bridge Fritz
So sad to hear of your news Celia and Jimmy, I'll never forget our visit to the kennels when I shared the couch with the old man and he lapped up the stroking he got from me and the rest of the family.
Hi Everyone,
We'd like to thank you all for your kind words about old Fritz. It helped us immensely at the dark time.
The kennels are simply not the same without him.
Celia and Jimmy.
