The Last Greyhound
Rusty, the handsome reddish and white greyhound who was Annie's best buddy for years, died today. He was 16-1/2, which is ancient for a sighthound of his size.
Annie always wanted him to play the title role in her opera, Guinefort. Rehearsals begin tonight near the rainbow bridge.

Break a leg in Peace, Rusty. Give Miss Annie a big hug when you get to the bridge.

I'm sure Dawson will be in the audience, awaiting the previews.

Re: The Last Greyhound
Very sad for you Judy, but very happy for Annie, who now has her lead. I envision a joyous and wonderfully organized rehearsal process underway.
After the appropriate amount of sniffing and tail-wagging greetings are completed, of course.

Re: The Last Greyhound
16 1/2 is pretty remarkable for a doggie of any age, but especially for one of Rusty's size. I'm glad I got to meet him. Hugs.
