Wasn't going to post this but then decided he needed to be announced. My big Balue collapsed one afternoon late November and never got up again. The best dog ever!!! Even with a house full of hounds, he is very dearly missed. Balue was 2 weeks shy of turning 9 - way to young to go. Only now have I come to understand what it's like to lose a greyhound, it's a void that I don't think will ever go away. My thoughts to all of you who have lost your greys this past year.

Our beautiful boys are running free together in heaven Martha. Balue was a beautiful boy and beautiful soul. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry for your loss of Balue. He was such a beautiful looking hound both in and outside.
It's so very very hard to lose a companion and best friend. They are each unique and irreplaceable. I can only think back on the good times of our loved ones and know in my heart that I had given them the love and retirement they so deserved. They break our hearts when they go and it's unbearable!

My deepest sympathies on the loss of Balue. It's been a heartbreaking 2012, let's hope for better days in the new year!
Run Free Balue, with all of our beautiful bridge angels.

Its never easy saying goodbye to a cherished 4 legged family member, especially if it was so sudden and unexpected...hold tight to the memories he helped to create...it will keep him always close to your heart. What a handsome hound he was...

Oh no! I'm so very sorry Martha. He was much too young to have to go.
Godspeed Balue.

Oh Martha I am so sorry for your lost of Balue. He was indeed the most beautiful boy I have ever seen - such unique colouring. I have dearly missed your posts since you moved but am glad you managed to post your loss. Balue will be well remembered by all who have met him.

That is worth announcing even if it is hard to do. I am so sorry for your loss. It doesn't matter how many dogs or hounds live in the house, it isn't easy. The bridge is always a busy place - at least they are all running together.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Balue was a very beautiful boy.
He will live on forever in your heart. Try to remember all of the good times. Remember hugging other greyhounds is good for healing...we have unfortunately learned that from experience.
Take care.

I am so sorry about your loss of Balue. You are right, he was to young to leave you. Remember all the good times you had together and he will always be with you.
