Her
name was Hannah and she was almost 3. She was a gorgeous light
fawn brindle with beautiful brown eyes. She was perfect for our
family. She was small dog safe, cat safe and most of all bunny
safe, too. After all, Hannah was now the adopted sister to 3 house
bunnies, Precious, Skip and Billiey.
Hannah went everywhere with us. She slept near us each
night and took daily walks with me in the warm springtime sunshine.
We would stop to sniff the flowers along our walk, stop to talk to
neighbors and passers by and just enjoyed each other's company in the
fresh springtime air.
3 weeks after adopting Hannah, she was tragically attacked by
two loose dogs on May 26th, 2000 on one of our daily walks. Our
world shattered and we lost our precious Hannah. Although we
prosecuted the owners of the loose dogs and won our case, it didn't
bring our Hannah back to us. Her story to this day is still very
painful for us. Each year on the anniversary of Hannah's attack, I
post a reminder for everyone to watch their surroundings while walking
their Greyhounds. Through the midst of tears I can still recall
that very horrible day as if it were yesterday.
But something in Hannah and Hannah's attack kept prodding at
us to adopt again. I knew Hannah would want us to share our love
and our home again with another Greyhound. At that time, I didn't
know that I was experiencing the Circle of love that Greyhounds are
known for. Now I know what that circle of love feels like.
It encompasses you like a soft warm blanket, never to be thrown out due
to age - only to grow softer with each Greyhound that comes into one's
life.
Hannah paved the way for Greyhounds to always embrace our
life and be a part of our family. Her gentleness and loving manner
was as innocent and as pure as the morning breeze that gently brushes
your face.
God Speed Hannah. We will always love you and we will
keep your memory alive in our hearts. May you wait for us with
your brothers and sisters beside you wearing satiny soft angel wings at
the Rainbow Bridge until we meet again.....
Since Hannah was adopted out as a puppy
to her first adoptive family and never raced, she does not have a page
on the Greyhound Data website. However, she does have tattoos in
both ears and siblings that raced making her a purebred Greyhound. |
