Red Brindle Female whelped 6/07/2005.  Sire: Kiowa Sweet Trey;  Dam: Noble Diplomat.

Pet Name: Lexie

Lexie was our first greyhound and little did we know how this vivacious girl would change our lives. She was full of love for everyone, always looking for a body to lean on and a hand to pet her. If a hand was in sight, she would nudge and nose and flip it on her head unrelentingly until she was properly petted! She loved to snuggle on the coach and the bed, and was happy just being with her people. Lexie was a true ambassador for greyhound adoption. She loved going to meet and greets and showing people just how friendly, affectionate and loving these dogs are. There will never be another like her and we will be forever grateful for the wonderful, but too short time we had her in our lives.

Black Female whelped 12/06/97~ 8/12/11. Sire: Seein the Green; Dam: Behns Jenna Rue

Pet name: Bree-Anne

We first met you at a Schuler’s Book store Meet & Greet with your new foster mom, Michele. At age 4, you had just come off the track, not looking very pretty…lots of scars, dull, flaky coat…but cute as can be with those big black ears standing straight up! Fast forward several months…you were returned after being with a family for 9 months. We decided to try fostering, and you were there, waiting for us. You came into our home, and stole our hearts…we adopted you just ten days before your 5th birthday. I called you “funny face” and “goofy girl“…you made us smile every day. You could maneuver a dog bed from one side of the room to the other, until it felt just right under your little body. You were such a “talker”, especially when you wanted us to know it was time to leave the Meet & Greets. And, such a little flirt…you loved your big boys, Scrappy & Rusty…loved dancing for them, barking and looking cute. You could do a 360 degree turn so fast it would make our heads spin…then bounce across the yard in happiness.
In the end, you hung on for as long as you could, and we cared for you the best we knew how…but it was your time to go. We were blessed to share our lives with you for almost 9 years…you brought us so much joy! We love you and miss you…our sweet little Bree-Bree. We find comfort in knowing you are dancing and playing with Scrappy Boy at the Bridge…The Dennison Family.

Pet name: Sky

Sky was in foster care for a long time before she came to live with Bob and I, she was meant to be with us. I looked at picture on the Allies web suite for a few weeks before we went to a meet and greet to see her. As we walked up she came right to me and gave me a kiss, and I knew then she was ours. I took her for a walk and then into the store and she picked out her very own stuffie, she had my heart for sure at that time. No matter where we went everyone wanted to take her home with them. Sky brought love, joy and happiness into our lives. We now have a very empty spot in our hearts and home. Sky, you were with us for to short of time and it's not fair. We will love you forever. Til we meet again all our love Mom and Dad. Run Sky Run Run like the wind.

 Brindle female whelped 7/19/1999.  Sire: Greys Bustnloose;  Dam: Catcha Callie.

Pet name: Genna

I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and
days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your
name. All I have are memories, your collar, and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a
keepsake, from which I'll never part. God has you in his arms, I have you in my heart.

Genna was a wonderful dog, very sweet and patient. She loved to run figure eights in the backyard, taunt the cat, and wait for a special treat in her bowl, especially pizza crust, or leftover meat as they were her favorite. At my daughter’s bedtime, she would come upstairs to listen to the story, and when we would leave she would peer out the window wondering when we would be back. She would be right there at the door when we did come home always welcoming us with a wagging tail. Genna would get extremely excited when it was time for a walk, it was almost impossible to get the leash on, she would react the same when her babysitter Bill would come over to see her. She touched the hearts of everyone she met. Nudging them or laying her head on their lap letting them know she loved a pet. She was truly the best dog, and we are greytful to have had her for 7 ½ years. Run Free Genna. We love you and will always remember our special time we had time together. Gone but never forgotten. Run Genna Run. Run like the wind.

Pet name: Paloma

Paloma...our darling girl, you were with us for far too short a time.  You were a happy go-lucky girl who knew no strangers.  How you loved it when the doorbell rang...someone coming to see Paloma!  You loved your toys and never met a squeeker you couldn't remove.  You loved Greenies.  You loved mommy but daddy was your special love.  You did the best "wild rumpus" for three minutes every night in the family room.  You came alive when daddy took you outside to chase the laser light.  You hated winter coats...no matter how cold it was outside.  You loved your crate because when you went in your crate you got the special chicken strip treat.  You loved to jump on people (mommy and daddy didn't love that).  You loved to try new sleeping positions and places.  You were just learning to get along with your fur-sib Minkie the cat.  You were a gentle, loving spirit.  You were our love and we will miss you forever. Run with the Angels Paloma!

Pet name: Paula

Paula,
You came to our house right off the track, though you didn’t race to long, You somehow managed to race you way into our hearts. When you got sick it was the hardest day here, we couldn’t think that a spunky little girl like you could get sick. With the way you would run and jump from rug to rug thru our kitchen. To the many kisses that you gave each and every time we would see you, or the way you smiled at us when we came home. We knew that you had found your home here with us. But we never expected for you to be taken from us so soon, but when the vet called we knew that it was time, that your body couldn’t handle your illness anymore, so we did what we thought was best for you. But we know that you will always be here with us and that you are running pain free…..we miss you our sweet baby girl PAULA- POO.

The Last Battle
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this -- the last battle -- can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close -- we two -- these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Pet name: Smoothie

My smoothy was so awesome he loved everything and everyone He thought he was still a puppy even at his age he ran laps in the yard he had his own private track and in the winter my living room became his track. He came to me as a foster and won my heart so quick that I choose to adopted him. He was a big boy usually right around 100lbs and just love to eat!!! I was blessed to foster his brother Petey that is who is in the picture with him. They had a blast they played all day long so neat to reunite them, I wish I could have adopted him to but not enough room for 3 large greys. I will always feel blessed to have had the opportunity to have him in my life and all the joy he brought to me and my family you are sadly missed by all including your buddies Austin and Molly. Run Smoothy Run I know you have no more pain!!!!

White and Brindle Female whelped 11/24/1998 ~ 10/31/09.  Sire: P's Raising Cain;  Dam: Megs Jordan

Pet name: Fancy

Fancy was a very special and loving Greyhound. We got her when she was almost 8 as her adopted parents didn't want her anymore. She was our aristocractic Greyhound and had such poise, grace, class and dignity. She brought great joy to our home and was so much fun. As my husband says, she was the perfect dog. It has left a terrible void in our home.

The love we give to a dog brings such wondrous joy into our lives.
The love we receive from this beloved dog is a precious gift from God.
When we lose this treasured pet, it leaves an empty space in our heart.
But in our sorrow and countless tears we will always remember our gift,
And know that we will have it to carry with us till the end of our days.

 

Red Male whelped 12/22/2001~ 08/09/09.  Sire: Molotov;  Dam: Tom S Ten Carat

Pet name: Scrappy

A big, strong, handsome boy who became Tom's loving, loyal companion. Always a gentleman around his "girls" and every foster dog who came through our doors. Scrappy was a patient boy, except when it was feeding time. He was known to give a little nip on the butt or bark insistently if Chris was not preparing the meals quickly enough. When his food was ready, he would run to the top of the stairs and spin in circles so fast it would make us dizzy. And then there were the times when we thought he was in touch with Aliens...jumping, barking, and snapping at the air as if something was there that we could not see. We don't think Scrappy is running at the Bridge, he is most likely resting. He taught Tom the greyt art of napping, and Scrappy anxiously anticipated their daily naps together. Another daily routine was walking the perimeter of the yard, making sure it was safe and secure. Although he was a greyt racer, even having won a Stakes race, in his retirement he didn't care about running anymore. Instead, he trotted proudly, much like a thoroughbred horse parading to the winner's circle. Our Scrappy Boy looked big and strong, but he was a sweet, loving boy. He touched our lives in so many ways, and he left his paw prints on our hearts. there will never be another Scrappy Boy. Rest well sweet Scrapper.
