My beloved greyhound, Oscar, has passed away. He died this morning at 10:10 after an extremely short fight with cancer. He would have been 5 years old next week, on the 23rd.
Oscar was my heart dog. I love all my animals, but Oscar was special. I'm even more determined now to sell as many copies of his book as is possible, because 10% of the profits (minimum) are going to the Ohio State University Vet school where they are doing research on canine cancer.
Good-bye Oscar. Run free and without pain.

Oh Marijke, I am so sorry to hear this. He looks such a beautiful boy, and I know what you mean about some dogs just being extra special. There's nothing I can say to ease your pain but I am thinking off you. You gave him a life after the track.
He is out there somewhere running free - bounding along with such speed and grace, and for a greyhound, that really is doggy heaven.
I am so sorry for your loss. But am thankful that Oscar's suffering was not long and excruciating.
Take care of yourself. This is a sad and depressing time for you and don't let anyone try to push you to shut your grief aside.
Prayers of comfort. Terrie
So Sorry to read about your loss.
I lost my first greyhound to osteo a couple years ago. She was 11.5, much older than Oscar. She was in such good shape though, I thought I would have her for years longer than I did. Sophie was the best dog ever.
