Glen, Bronwyn & Sabi
Almost 13 years ago, we adopted a very sweet greyhound that was called Emma.
She was whelped on 12/3/2011, and we picked her up from the Seymour site just a week before Christmas in 2012. It was love at first sight. She had funny ears that flopped backwards, and she had the sweetest, shyest nature. We thought the name Emma was not fancy enough for this gorgeous girl, so we renamed her Sabine or Sabi as we mostly called her.
We loved her to the moon and back and she really was the best companion anyone could ask for. She was so gentle with all my great nieces and nephews and was loved by all who met her. We used to take her into the aged care facility where my dad lived, and the residents loved her. We took her everywhere we went. She loved the car and the beach. She was so obedient and clever but also funny and engaging.
Sadly, she passed away aged 14 and a half last Monday. She had a rare tumour develop in her upper jaw. They could not tell us if it was a fast-growing cancer or a slow-growing cancer. She then had vestibular disease, but it didn't resolve, and it started looking like she had a brain stem cancer as she was losing weight and symptoms were becoming worse. Despite all this, she was brave until the end. We had a wonderful day with her last Monday until the vet came to our home and helped her cross the rainbow bridge.
Thank you, gap for all the amazing work you do with these absolutely beautiful dogs. We feel so fortunate to have had nearly 13 years of joy with one of your best.
Love Glen and Bronwyn
