Very sorry Deb. Simon was such a cool dog.

Never met him, but it sounds like he was a very cool, well loved greyhound. Sorry for your loss.

Anthony

Very sorry deb, I can't imagine the grief. Simon was a big ol sweetie. *HUGS* Give the other dogs some big old hugs and a few extra treats.

Andy

Jim, what happened?? I didn't know Simon was in trouble - thought you might be posting about the beloved EmilyB! :eek:

That is very sad, what a cool dog he was - my buddy... :frown:

A very sad day Deb :cry:

It always hurts when we lose a member of the family. Although I only got to meet Simon a couple of times he was a very cool dog, definately full of Love. Celebrate the joy that he brought you and Barry.

Heartfelt condolences.

Thanks everyone. :cry:

Lost Buddy
 

Very Sad,
My condolences Deb,
I hope the other buddys are OK...esp EmilyB
:sad:

*hugs* sorry to hear of your loss.

Sorry to hear Deb. Condolences from Donna and myself. :sad:

:idea: couple R&C's coming right up :smile:

I also feared the worst for Emily when I saw the post. Surprised to hear it was Simon.

Curl up in his favorite chair and pet the others for me.

EmilyB was also asked about by the vet, she is very "Stumbelina" but as long as her spirits are up, and she doesn't seem to mind crashing, falling, and the occasional tumble down the stairs , we hold out hope for her.

By the way, who is Muff? :razz: :mrgreen:

Hi Deb;
Sorry for your loss. I know how much they mean to us.

Sorry for you loss you guys :cry:

How old is Emily B Deb?

EmilyB is 10 Jonathan. She has a nerve disorder that came on over the past six months or so.

Is there nothing they can do for her? Does it affect her all the time? :confused:

NALA (CHOCO LAB) is 7 now and is starting to get arthritis but sure has the heart of a fighter!

Hey Deb

Sorry to hear about Simon :cry:

Condolences,

Sorry Jon, I just saw your post. They did x-rays to rule out a spinal problem. It is definitely neurological, and the next step would be an MRI, which would do nothing more than confirm something like Wobblers disease, which may or may not be operable. If I had that kind of money, I'd do it.

Those labs are something. Meg is 14 years old, had two knee surgeries and is still in the best shape, although she is deaf as a stone now.

At least losing older pets, you know they've had a good life, as hard as it is to let them go.

Thanks again everyone for your kind words. It's funny how much less work two dogs are than three - or I'd probably already have another one.

I'm sorry to here that Deb, my condolences to you and Barry :sad:

I would have responded earlier but that dam# rock was so heavy that I needed a hand with it before I could crawl out from underneath it :biggrin:
