samboy Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Hi gang. Just had to have my 11 year old Whippet put to sleep. After being x rayed and having blood tests the vet said it would be kinder to put him down. I'm sitting here sobbing like a baby. Never known grief like it. Good job my Lurcher is here to help console me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spr1985 Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Try and remember the good times, and memories made. they become a part of us and unfortunately when it’s their time they take part of us with them. Just remember you’ve done the right thing and right by your friend. chin up samboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samboy Posted October 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Thanks for all kind replies. I got him when he was 3 and had him out every day. He had his share of rabbits. Give it a couple of weeks and i will start looking for another Whippet. Not trying to replace Bob but they are great little dogs. I think i would go crazy if i didn't have a dog. Still got my Beddy x Whip but he's 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
