Born 02.12.2009 Passed over the Rainbow 13.03.2022 age 13 years 3 months 11 days. Been by my side since 14 months old, In our hearts and never forgotten.
Our story sees us through another Christmas which came and went with the 54DS on Garry’s wish list for Santa but as per normal Garry is on the naughty list.
I went off for 5 days to complete my competent crew course with Elite Sailing @ Chatham. Which left Garry to look after Missy umm i think too many chocolate biscuits for both of them coming up not enough butternut box meals will be eaten by Missy.
The course was an eye opener that was for sure, green lateral buoys bong if you get close, as David a lovely chap from Spain discovered. I think the tides and undertow caught him out but i got a great video much to our trainers dismay.
I returned home exhausted but suitably informed about how to pull sails up and down and what to do with lines. Its was the hardest 5 days i had worked since Wetherspoons but well worth it.
Our life with Little Missy carried on as normal Garry online boat shopping until the 13th of March 2022 when I had to make the hardest decision in my life. My Little Missy broke her front leg after jumping across the living room after treats. Being 13 years of age Missy was slow on her legs and found jumping on sofa a challenge due to her back legs. Walks very rarely happened but when Missy wanted to leave the house, half way down the road was as far as Missy made.
It had been many years since we had seen Missy run free in her contained field which she loved and enjoyed twice a day. A Greyhound is a great breed to have as a best mate at home, they have a fantastic range of traits they all share. One of our Closest Friends Teri says Missy is not a dog, you would have to spend time with a Greyhound to understand that line.
A greyhound is intelligent, gentle with a quiet disposition and in spite of its great athletic ability, is content to spend most of the day sleeping. Short on endurance they requires less exercise time than most dogs.
If you ever find your self needing a soul mate, someone that will never leave your side and make you smile very day. Give a Greyhound a sofa in your home, you will not regret it.
