I am heartbroken over the loss of Valerie. She is another victim of cancer. It happened so fast.
I remember when Valerie came into my life - so sleek, so well-groomed, so well-mannered. She had to live with a bouvier which was a bit of a come down for her. Then she had to deal with a second bouvier. She took it in her stride like the princess she was. She managed to keep both bouv boys in line.
Valerie loved doing laps around my backyard. Every time she passed me, I would clap and cheer. She immediately responded with a smile on her face, a sparkle in her eyes, and more speed. I loved watching her run. She loved participating in the parades. She loved her retirement. She even put up with the foster cats trying to share her food with her.
Run free and pain free, Valerie. I miss you so much.
My thanks to Bill for allowing me to share my home with this beautiful, sweet girl.
Gail

Godspeed Valerie.

Gail, we are so sorry.
We know how much you loved your Valerie. She was a special girl and a perfect fit for your family.
I'll always remember how she loved greeting people at parades. She was a wonderful ambassador for the retired greyhound. She will be greatly missed.
Run free sweet Valerie. We know you were welcomed by your friends at the bridge.
