Thank you to those who commented, and showed me who my girl would be meeting.

She passed ever so peacefully, in her favourite place - the sofa.

She will now be doing zoomies, chasing cats and balls, farting it up, and having fun with all the bestest bridge boys and girls.

Thinking of you and your beloved greyhound. It is quite simply the hardest time. My Parsons Jack Russell adored Greyhounds so maybe they have had the zoomies together now.

It will be a week tomorrow.
Her ashes, paw print and fur clipping, will be coming home on Monday.
I paid silly money for the crematorium staff to bring her home as I was convinced she would be lost in the post or treated badly by a courier.

I have been talking to her every day. I find a photo of her with her ears up, and have a chat. She was old, so I celebrated each month birthday. The one just gone, we shared a pork pie (her favourite). I ate it, and watched a video of her eating Giant Wossits (also a big favourite of hers).

I feel silly, but I have a small bin in the garden for her poos, and I can't bring myself to empty it.

This is so hard. It is so shit.

I'm so sorry you're in pain, it sounds like you made the most of every day with her. My dog is also partial to a wotsit when he gets the chance but is intolerant to wheat, so he gets one very rarely (even though not in there directly, they are made in a factory where cross contamination is a risk).

Not wanting to part with anything that connects to her, isn't silly. It's normal. Be gentle with yourself.

After over 15 years of love, fun and devotion, the time has come for my dear old greyhound to gain her wings.
I am devastated. She is all I have. We live alone together. I am at peace about the whole choice to let her go as she is frail and it is time, and how it will happen. But I am struggling with the concept of never seeing her again. Never feeling her soft ears, tickling her neck, hearing her chatter her teefies. Kicking me in the back in bed, or hearing her tappy nails on the floor downstairs.
I will even miss smelling her farts after hearing the air brake noise her bum makes 😅

Please tell me about your bridge dogs. I would like to know who she will be meeting tomorrow. She will outrun your dogs, and nick their toys.

My darling WCS passed over the bridge yesterday afternoon and loved greyhounds so I hope yours met mine at those colourful gates. How are you doing all these weeks on? I imagine some around aren’t asking as much, please continue to talk about her, you were the centre of each other’s worlds.

My beautiful girl was just the happiest pooch. She made everyone smile and brought joy everywhere she went (unless she refused to 💩 at bedtime which made us rage!). She would do anything for cheese or a ball and could run for miles in her youth. We are so lost. The three of us were always together for near enough 12 years. Only holidays as a 3, only coffees out as a 3, only trips to the shops as a 3. Where do you go from there 💔🐾.

At least they are all together, fighting over the balls, leaving us in their wake, crying out the love we felt for them xxx

Oh bless you. It is hard. Your precious pooch is in good company now.

I am still finding it really hard. I miss her SO damn much. I went through a phase where it felt like I never had her at all. Like it was all a dream. I am not sure what that is about, but from speaking to people in the Blue Cross pet loss group on FB, it seems to be a part of the grieving process and many of us went through it too.

I am going away with my mum and her dog soon. My dog always came too, so we are going somewhere different this time. I will take her ashes anyway so she is not home alone.

It is early days for you. Cry all you need and be kind to yourself.
