Rainbow Bridge - In Memory

July, 1999 - November, 2011

King of the Kennel and Chief Treat Negotiator went to the bridge on Novemeber 14, 2011.
God's fingers touched him and he slept. Finding him asleep never to wake was difficult but the night before,
he was in fine form begging extra treats and ensuring that all his kennel mates were well fed.
He loved being the King in the front room of the kennel. The first to greet everyone and to welcome vistors.
He is missed by all who entered and will remain in our hearts forever.

July, 1996 - June 16, 2011

Amy was a beautiful, independent and loyal friend of ours.
We will never forget her, or replace her with another like dog.
We will miss her every day.

In memory of Linny, a very special greyhound.
Linny came to live with us shortly before her 11th birthday.
She was a thin, long-legged beauty who didn't much care for cats, small dogs,
thunderstorms, or pet food. Therefore, most mornings we woke up to the smell of
Linny's breakfast (chicken) cooking in the crockpot. Miss Linny liked to go
to bed early - she had a favorite bed and soon learned that the first dog in the bedroom at
night got the first pick of the beds. Since she went to bed early, she liked to have a snack
around midnight and on warm summer nights, a walk around the yard.
Linny loved her greyhound "sisters" and they her.

Linny is dearly loved and missed by our whole family.
Run free and fast, Linny, forever in our hearts.

I got Noble in December 2006 when he was 18 months old. Though I had hoped we would have many more years together,
I am very grateful for the 4+ years I have been able to know and love him. He was a real gem.

Noble was a sweet boy, and liked to lay on the floor close to wherever I was.
He was gentle and was very patient with everyone.
His black, silky coat was beautiful, and there was nothing like watching him run in the backyard.
He loved to do figure 8's. And he was quite the conversationalist when he wanted to eat!

I thank the Lord for letting me love Noble and have him in my life.
I will miss him, and always carry him in my heart.
He will also be missed by his greyhound buddy, Hawkeye Tanya,
and Italian greyhounds, Gibbs, Zoey Grace, Gabe, and Meira.

She came to me in October 2005, a few months before her 6th birthday after racing in Florida
then having a few litters in Oklahoma. She was the "Queen of Lean", not only leaning on you,
but sticking to you and walking along if you tried to move away. She was the perfect girl from day one;
she loved everyone (except cats) and everyone loved her. Her overbite and one protruding tooth
gave her a distinctive little 'Elvis' smile that was so endearing.
That's what caught my attention on the HHGA website and made me decide to bring her into my family.
She was a treasure and will be terribly missed by the residents, guests, and fosters at the Greyhound Hotel.

Fly free, my beautiful blue angel! Love you!

We adopted Vanessa on December 20, 2006 after her retirement from a racing career
as well as a career as a brood mama. She walked into our house like she'd been here her whole life.
She was quite a character and certainly had her opinions, which she did not hesitate to share.
She was a collector and her favorite thing to collect were my slippers.
We'd routinely play the "slipper game" where she'd steal them and put them in
her bed and then I'd steal them back and put them back in the bedroom.
Sometimes those slippers took several trips back and forth each day.
On August 02, 2008 Vanessa was diagnosed with osteosarcoma.
She battled bone cancer with grace, dignity, and incredible determination
for 27.5 months before succumbing to kidney failure.

Vanessa - We are so proud of you. You will be forever loved and missed.
Run safe and run fast, until we meet again, sweet girl.

Adopted at age 11, Goldie was our resident "character." With a determined swagger she was
a world-class counter surfer, an expert at floral re-arranging, a lover of all things plastic, a champion Swiffer hunter,
and an avid shoe collector. The Gold One was our first greyhound, and more special than we could ever say.
Goldie kept us constantly on our toes…and endlessly entertained. We loved her completely, miss her terribly,
and were so blessed to have been her guardians.

You took huge pieces of our hearts with you when you went, Rivie - but you left your heart here with us.
Many thanks to those who loved her first - her owners, trainers, the farm, and Halfway Home Greyhounds
for allowing us to adopt our Rivie. Oprah says "when you lose somebody you love, you gain an angel that you know"
Angel Rivie, run free, sweetie - you will be in our hearts always - thank you so much for the wonderful memories.

Eternally in our Hearts.
Our time with her, as short as it was, will stand as the BEST experience of our lives.

But Abby has been that SPECIAL blessing you receive once in a lifetime.

You will always be with us in our memories.

Cruce blessed our home for a year and a half. He was a stately gentleman - full of grace and dignity.
He is greatly missed by Pam, and his greyhound friend, Hawkeye Tanya, and IG buddy, Gibbs.
Cruce will never be replaced as he was a very special boy.

November 2, 2000 - March 15, 2006
