Shattered!

[Lisbeth Mønsted Larsen]

 Connor my seven year old greyhound rescued from Spain has died today. He fell ill on Wedensday night throwing up and haveing the squids. Thursday he seemed to have recovered from that. He was rather larthargic and slept a lot. He was slower than usual when we were out for our walk and morning run. However I diden´t see anything alarming. I did call my vet for advice on Saturday morning.I decided to take Connor to the vet Monday as it has been hollidays this weekend.Around five oclock I was at the computer when Connor who was sleeping omitted a sigh. I called him but he had  died what I heard was his last breath. I am shattered it was so unexpected . I just wanted you to know. I loved Connor with my soul he was such a lovely lad and he is so missed. However there are always greyhounds waiting in the wings so one soon a new needy greyhound will join my pack or rather my family.Connor died where he felt best among us who knew and loved him. Rip my lad my Connor we all love you Lisbeth and the lads.

LISBETH I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY BUT I AM HEARTBROKEN FOR CONNER AND YOU. PLEASE ACCEPT MY HUGS FOR YOU AND THE LADS.

[Lisbeth Mønsted Larsen]

Thanks Don it is so hard to come to terms with his death. I miss him so very much but at the same time it is a relief that he did not have to go to the vet´s tobe pts. Not that I thought he would but still he died in his sleep right here in my livingroom amongst us loved as always a part of our lives and hearts. The others had a chance to say their kind of farewell without wondering where he had gone to as they would if I had come back home without him. He was only seven but soo loved. Thanks for your kind words regarding his death and hugs recieved with love and warmth.

Lisbeth:

I am so sorry about Connor, I know you loved him with all your heart and I can't even begin to imagine the loss you must be feeling.  Just know Connor loved you and you gave him the best of everything in life.  If it is any consolation he died peacefully and didn't suffer.  Lisbeth, I don't know what else to say, I wish I were there to help you through this.  Please take care my sweet friend, I am here for you if you need to talk.  Much love and hugs to you and the lads, Kathi

[Lisbeth Mønsted Larsen]

Thanks Kathi.It is precious friends like you and Don that makes it easier to get through this absolutely devestating loss that and having something to look forward too. I have been offered a four year old greyhound and I think he is the right one for my wee family. He is said to be good with other dogs and most importantly he is not the kind to pick or get into a fight he simply walks away. So think he might be the one ment for us he is a beautiful golden fawn with large dark brown eyes that could melt anyone. He is in need of a home asap as his owner wants to get rid of him. He is going to come straight of the track. I know it seems to be very soon after the loss of Connor but truth be told it will help me through the grief to have someone who needs my help to put the trauma of racing life behind him. Thanks for you love and warmth I know you understan the hard blow this has been to my life. With all my love warmth and gratitude. Love you all Lisbeth and the three lads.

Lisbeth:

Personally I think getting another dog is the best medicine!!  I am sure there are many who wouldn't agree with me but that is my belief that you can give love and care to another dog and that is the greatest legacy you can give to Connor.  What is the new pups name?  Please be sure to take some pictures he sounds like a real beauty. I know that nothing can replace Connor but when you have so much love to give I believe it will help the healing process for you.  I know each time I have lost one of mine it was just a short time before I got another, it helped so much to be able to show love and caring for another pup, and it certainly helped the healing process, not that I have ever forgotten one of them there will always be a special place in my heart and mind for each of them but, if I can offer one in need the love and care they need then that is what I will do as I know it is what you will do.

Love to you all Kathi and the girls.

Thanks Kathi my sentiments exactly. It seems it might be a bit difficult to get this one as his current owner will not offer a vacination on him. She wants me to get him this Friday. I have said to her that the landlords of this place request that he is vacinated and ensured which I agree with 100% So far there has been no answer from her. She seems a bit desperate which makes me wonder why she is giving him the boot He is still racing and will run this wedensday. I am not very pleased with that at all but if it means saving his life what choice do I have?. I know someone who knows the owner and her dogs so I will enquire about him and what he is realy like and then make my final decicion based on that. I have time to wait for right greyhound to come along as I am not in a rush. I will keep you posted about this I do have something to look forward to a new greyhound to love and care for and good company for my wee family there is an empty space on my sofa and a hole in my heart that I need to fill with the love for another needy greyhound.With all my love and warmth Lisbeth and the lads.

[Lisbeth Mønsted Larsen]

Thanks all of you it all helps. I do miss him soo very much and my grief is raw and deep.I do need to have something to look forward too and an empty space on my sofa and a leash that needs a new ocupant. No one can ever replace Connor but he will be abel to make this time easier and honour the legacy of love Connor has left with us. Connor my precious lad you are on my mind and in our hearts we miss you my wee lovely lad.
