Greyhound Picnic, Nashville.  Typical pose.

We lost our greyhound, Trixie, at 4:00 AM on, Sunday, November14, 2010. While Trixie has been a sick baby most of her life with us we have enjoyed several years of better health and vigor recently.
Trixie was born in June of 2001 and came to live with us in June of 2003. She arrived after three months on the track with her tail tucked securely between her legs and her head between Charles’s knees. She left this earthly home as a precocious baby demanding that everyone speak to her.

She has not felt well for about 6 weeks and our veterinarian, Dr. Carol Mackery, searched for reasons. Her downward slide was quick. She died in Charles’s arms on the floor in the motorhome.



Trixie was our first greyhound. Libby joined her a year later in 2004. We wish we could communicate better with Lib as we see that she is searching for her buddy. They slept touching.


Trixie was a registered Pet Therapy Dog with Therapy Dogs, Inc. She and Libby gave many hugs. Libby will continue their work.


In time we will adopt again. There are many greyhounds that need our love for them. After all, they give back much more than we give.
