We said goodbye to our Bess (racing name Hermonica) yesterday. We adopted her in January, 2005 after our first greyhound Zoe passed away. Bess was as unlike Zoe as could be but fit in our home so seamlessly. Where Zoe was outgoing and adventurous, Bessie was shy, thus her nickname Bessie Boo. She welcomed three more greys and a foster Yorkie into our home and was loved by all. Bess would have been 13 come April but it was not to be. We found out about an intestinal mass in October and since then were giving her hospice care, making every day count, showering her with love and whatever she wanted to eat, hard though that was. It was painful to watch her lose weight but she did not appear to be in pain and remained loving and affectionate to the end. God bless and keep you, Bessie Boo. We will always love you and never forget you.
