Guinevere, 'Can Dash' born 22nd June 1996, left us for the bridge tonight, quietly and graceful as ever and happily eating coffee cake.

 

Guin was my first greyhound, originally from Sheya and it's thanks to Lisa for trusting me with such a wonderful, and spooky, hound. Guin wasn't an easy dog, she was terrified of many things and it took a long time for her to feel safe again. Some of her demons never completely left her (thunder storms, gun shots etc) but she was truly a Lady of greyhounds, kind and gentle and very loving.

 

Guin was 13 on Monday and that was a pretty good innings for her. Sadly she had developed a tumour on her top jaw, right along to her nose and it started to spread. Guin was too frail and it was in too awkward a place to be operated on so we spoilt her and kept her comfortable for as long as we felt was right.

 

We made the decision today that we needed to let her go with dignity and before things got too difficult for her.

 

Guin has left a huge hole here and we'll miss her terribly.

 

Sleep safe sweetheart :GroupHug:
