Our beloved greyhound, a former racing athlete who was too skittish at the starting gate to actually make a career of the sport, and wound up being adopted by me and A, died at my mother's home this afternoon in Florida.
Born: "Okie Destry" in Oklahoma.
Lived: as "Destiny" after LaMai thought "Destry" sounded too much like "destroy" and the vet made the mistake of calling him Destiny on his medical papers.
He was only nine years old.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. It's so hard to lose a pet. I'm sending big hugs your way.

Thank you.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Greys are such great dogs. My bil & his wife had a rescued grey, off one of the tracks - Sail On Johnny. What super guy he was.....
Dogs just don't live long enough.
Oh, how sad. An ex-coworker of mine had also adopted a racing grey, and she also had a decidedly curtailed life. . . I remember how devestated he was when she passed. My condolences.
I'm so sorry to hear your news. We lost our dog, a 13-year-old German Shepherd, this summer too. Great sadness.
How is Napoleon faring without A?
Napoleon has been barking a lot.
