Dear Anna,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Phoebe was a beautiful girl and it sounds like you had a very special bond with her. I know how you are feeling as it was only a month ago that I lost my precious Cashew. My eyes are filled with tears for you as I write this because I know how painful it is to lose such a special member of your family. Although no words can truly comfort you at such a difficult time, know that you did all that you could for her and that she is now at peace taking with her all the special memories of you and all you did for her.
My heart goes out to you and I wish that I could ease your pain. You are facing a difficult journey and only time will heal the hurt that you are feeling right now. I cried through most of Christmas missing my special girl but I keep trying to focus on the joy that Cashew brought into my life. As each day passes you will get closer to that yourself.
You were both so fortunate to find each other and share your life and love for one another.
My heart is with you.
Maria

Anna, I am so sorry, I know how much Phoebe meant to you. I will always remember that silly little girl girl with the slightly shortened tail, that Bill and Freddy asked Barbara and I to look after.
And that night when we had her out for a walk with Percy and Doug. With you and Paul following us down the street to see her.
Finding her a home on the same street as us was a bonus, as we could see her all the time.
God Speed sweetheart.
Adam
PS: Anna, I am living in Cambridge now, you can reach me at armanntoo@sympatico.ca.

My heart goes out to you...thanks for posting the pics of your beloved Phoebe. May the grief ease to the point that every memory brings smiles instead of tears. It will take whatever time it takes - but it will happen. Give Maya extra cuddles and scritches. Know that you have your girl watching over you now and take comfort that SHE KNOWS you did everything you possibly could, and STILL LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONALLY. That you were blessed with her love, and still are.

Thank you Sandysfarm, Maria, Adam and Redneckwoman! Maria, I'm so sorry for your loss! There are so many of us that lost our beloved pets lately, it's truly heartbreaking! So much love and so much pain.... I hope Cashew is playing with Phoebe now... Maybe it sounds creepy but I cannot wait to see Phoebe again.... Red, Maya is getting a lot of love and attention. Losing Phoebe tought me a lesson how fleeting life is. I'm still crying, still hurting terribly... I'm all stuffed up, maybe I'm getting sick from all this pain. But today was a better day..... Today we went to GRA to help with the doggies and... I realised once I got there that the visit was more therapeutic for us then for the dogs. We brushed them all, spend some time talking and petting each one of them... we got many, many kisses and nudges. They all waged their tails and appreciated the time with us. They were all so sweet and so good... I'm so thankful to Bill for what he, and people who work there are doing. It was because of him (and Adam) we got to spend many wonderful years with Phoebe. Phoebe was a perfect girl, never caused any grief, all I could do was to love her with all my heart. I wish for all the greys to find good, loving forever families. They deserve the best. ** Phoebe Nov 11, 2007

It's been almost a week since Phoebe passed away... All of this seems so surrreal. I can't concentrate... it's hard to face everyday life. I barely eat, and spend my time on the couch looking at her pictures... reading about greyhounds. I try not to face people, I have no patience... it's suprising how many asked me (knowing about Phoebe) if I partied at new years Eve...? Still haven't slept in the bedroom because it reminds me too much of Phoebe. The evening ritual.. she always knew when it was time to go to bed. Sometimes she just waited at the bottom of the stairs.. and I always would turn the light up so she could see the stairs. She fell down the stairs once (which broke my heart) and after that was really careful. She only went up and down the stairs once a day. She would carefully go up the stairs, one leg at the time, so cute. I always, always watched her closely.. always ready to catch her. Then she would just settle on her pillow and I would cover her with a blanket and give her a kiss goodnight. I miss that so much!!! I cant sleep at night, stay up late and then nap during the day cudding up to Maya. Maya has been a great help, she is such a snuggler. I just worry about her once Beamer leaves. I think I felt Phoebe presence this morning when I was waking up.. it's hard to explain. ** Phoebe's first day at the new house (Nov 2007)
