We did exactly the same when we lost our lovely boy Ace. Pat and I and also our lurcher Jade just couldn't cope with the space Ace left behind. So we brought Bob home. Both he and Ruby will be playing together and looking down with love in their hearts and big smiles because we have given another homeless greyhound a home.
Bess looks gorgeous.
Wishing you many years of fun and laughter together.
Hello Susan, Jim and Bess, we are so happy for you that Bess has helped to ease your pain of losing Ruby a little. It will get easier as time goes by. We felt so sad for you both when we read about Ruby, as we all did on the forum not doubt.
You will never forgot Ruby and always love her forever. She will be so pleased that you have given the chance of a happy life to two more Greyhounds, Bess and the new Greyhound that now has her empty kennel.
The pain does take a long time to ease, but we know from experience that adopting another Greyhound does help to ease that pain. We ended up adopting two Greyhounds after losing our big boy Leo, so we now have three. We could not live without a Greyhound now in our house.
Bess is a beautiful little girl and looks so happy in your home. No wonder, what a beautiful home and garden she now has and a very loving Mummy and Daddy. I bet she cannot believe her luck!
We are so happy for you both and little Bess. Your story has helped us with the heartbreak we are going through this week. On the 5th August, we lost our "part-time foster dog" Harvey, aged 12, who we have looked after every Sunday and Monday for over 8 years - more about him on Bert's Greyhound Coats piece above. He was the first Greyhound to come into our home, (but not the last)! So thank you for cheering us up a little bit with your fabulous news.
May you all have lots of healthy, happy years together in the future Ruby will be waiting to take Harvey's big golden paw at the Rainbow Bridge.
Lots of love to you all and thank you so much for giving another two Greyhound the chance of a loving forever home.
Best wishes, Liz, Richard, Squeek, Spot & Carrie xxxxx
