Just think about how special we made our girls feel...going from just another dog in a crate at a track to one who completely changes your life and is loved so very much! It's amazing how one little decision can have such a huge impact! Treat was beautiful and will always be remembered by those who met her and those that didn't!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956657063201484001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-16867708673609581472011-02-06T14:12:50.396-06:002011-02-06T14:12:50.396-06:00Tears of joy, thanks for sharing!Tears of joy, thanks for sharing!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04235590043169997919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-28570954414825051482011-02-05T19:06:04.963-06:002011-02-05T19:06:04.963-06:00That was a really nice tribute!That was a really nice tribute!Two Pitties in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694420319336839807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-86239585190594442072011-02-05T17:43:13.364-06:002011-02-05T17:43:13.364-06:00Isn't it amazing how dogs adopt us and not the...Isn't it amazing how dogs adopt us and not the other way around? Dogs (and other animals too) probably roll their eyes as we stand around hemming and hawing about adopting a pet who is CLEARLY the one for us. Let's face it, pets are smarter than we are in many ways! <br />I loved reading how Treat looked back at you when you and your hubby walked away!

Treat sounds like such a special dog who will forever live in your heart. You saved her and she changed you... Love flowed both ways.<br /><br />Our first dogs were a pair of chocolate labs who were research animals and needed a home when their jobs were done. We met them at work and never looked back. We never even questioned the decision to adopt them - and they changed our lives forever, like Treat did for you.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your story.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-17639642664936529662011-02-05T07:13:32.498-06:002011-02-05T07:13:32.498-06:00What a terrific post.

What a wonderful, beautiful, dignified persistent lady who absolutely knew what was best for her and for you.<br /><br />I love the picture of her with the bunny. What self-control. I'm afraid I couldn't get that close to one of those.<br /><br />And what a legacy of love she's left - and the ripples are spreading across the world because of your super blog.

The co-existing bunny seems pretty amazing, too, considering that their prey drive is what makes greyhounds such incredible racers. <br /><br />Every dog you ever share your life with has a piece of your heart forever, but some seem to take a bigger chunk than others. And when a loved one passes on, although the pain is sharp, it dulls with time while the crisp, loving memory lasts as long as we live.<br /><br />Jed & AbbyJed and Abby in MerryLandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782709825274199133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-10117680375181293202011-02-05T02:38:28.080-06:002011-02-05T02:38:28.080-06:00A lovely tribute!

And because of him many greyhounds have been rehomed - even to people who supposedly didn't like dogs. I don't even think of him as a dog actually - he had the most amazing soul. 3 years now since he WOTRB and I still think of him every day and can feel his breaths on the back of my neck as I sleep!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784251294300112531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-9638947374630096412011-02-05T02:38:22.909-06:002011-02-05T02:38:22.909-06:00Treat and rabbit.
