I'm posting to tell you all that today our beloved boy and senior Camp Greyhound counsellor Cantankerous Lou has gone to the bridge after a short but valiant struggle with cancer. He was 1 day shy of his 12th birthday. He left with spirit, courage, dignity and heart and he leaves behind a broken-hearted family. This sad event would have been much worse were it not for the support given to us by our dear friends and by Anna Borenstein of www.homeopathyforall.com/ and the staff of Barrie Animal Hospital . We are very grateful to have these people in our lives. Hug your hounds and hold them close, they're only here for a little while. Sadly, Karen, Michelle, Bailey, Romi, Andy, Connie and Millie.

Oh Karen, I'm so sorry to read this.
Lou had such a great spirit. Even with a handicap it always amazed me the joy and determination he had at the runs. He was a role model for us all, and will be missed by so many.
Run Free Lou. You're with some of the very best now.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm glad he had a long and happy life with a family who loved him and who I'm sure he loved in return.

I'm so very sorry.
Betsy, Edie, and I met Lou while he was still recovering from his dislocated hip. He certainly wasn't cantankerous that day--he was just tickled to be out and about.
Godspeed Lou.
