Loss

Today Jessie left the world.
She was brave and dignified.
I'm in physical pain as a hole the size of a Greyhound has been torn in my soul.

Dear Sleepy..

There are no condolences big enough for what you're feeling..This is terrible news. I looked for some good words for you and found some writen by another greyhound lover..All of the poems on this site are for Jessie's people..those who love her kind (are her kind) and people the heaven where she surely is now..

May this hole in your soul be a passage where love can travel freely and bring you news from heaven when you need it most.

My heart is with you.

Dear Sleepy..
I thought the address bar
http://www.greyhoundmuses.com/index.htm
would bring up the poem "Unconditional Love" directly..You have to go to the index on the left of the page. It's listed under POEMS lower down in the index column.

Be well,
A

Artemesia... Thank you so very much.

Oh no. She was the most gorgeous dog and I know something about your feelings for her. I am so very, very sorry. But if there is a greyhound heaven, that's where she'll be...roaming and pestering - unfettered and free.

Sassy.. Thank you. I'm heartbroken.
Thank G-d for Blue. Although him looking for her is upsetting.
