GPA Indy Message Ralph

[Marjorie Dunbar]

Hello to my GPA friends,

Two
weeks ago today we said goodbye to our oldest friend, Right Shoe Ralph.
Since it has taken me about this long to stop crying (and so might
damage my computer keyboard), I just wanted to memorialize him for one
small moment.

Ralph was the first grey placed from a former
local rescue, Greyhound Companions in 1998. He was neatly matched with
us as a "beta" dog, willing to get along with our "alpha" old female
husky. After we lost her, we got a second, bounceback grey from Life
After Racing (Bruce and Katie McDonald) and so grew our love affair
with hounds.

Since then we've kept two of our other fosters and
I believe have had 10 fosters total over these years. Fireman just
joined Dixie last month as an official family member.
All,
This is being resent as some did not get the message/ See the message below

Marjorie


Ralph
lived to the long earned age of 14 1/2, and even in his difficult,
senior state he always gave us such a beautiful sense of calm by his
presence or just the touch of those incredible ears. We miss him
terribly and thank you for the empathy we know you feel in reading
this. 

Ralph was my darling and I hope he's chasing bunnies and
napping in the sun over the rainbow bridge with all your passed hounds
as buddies.

Best,
Wendy, Stu and Rob Bowes
Dixie and Fireman
