Well . . . . . hello to everybody again - I've not posted since I lost my beautiful boy, Sam way back in February.
Firstly, I would like to thank you all for your kind and supportive messages about Sam - it still hurts like hell. I miss him so so much. He will never be replaced. I know it's a cliche, but just spend every spare moment with your dogs - they are gone all too soon.
I feel now that I am able to, at least, participate some more here - I have missed it here with you good people, but felt I couldn't even LOOK at another Whippet.
One way I have paid tribute to Sam is by setting up a website in his memory. Basically, it's a tribute site designed to help those who have been unfortunate enough to have lost their beloved dogs. I design & upload tributes free of chrage to anybody who would like one; also there is a pet loss support group, and plenty of resources to help people through a very sad time.
On Sam's own tribute page, I have expressed that I would like to raise funds for JR Whippet Rescue. As a lifelong member of the Rescue, I see it as one appropriate way to honour my boy. By setting up Sam's Memorial Fund, I figure that might help to get some extra funds for the Rescue. No harm in trying is there?
Anyway folks, thanks for reading, and please do take a look at the site. If anybody would like to place a tribute for any of the Whippets you have lost, please do let me know, I will be extra happy to place beautiful Whippets on the site.
Please do let me know what you think via this or my own site.
