Henry
Over the Rainbow Bridge
To say I & Mel are traumatised & devastated is an understatement. I cant see properly as my eyes are swollen from crying & part of my heart has shrivelled away. Considering this is the second operation in 7 weeks that Mel has had to endure he is dealing with things very well & we are grateful that things weren't even worse. However, having spent a last night with Henry having several bad dreams about it all, and trying to comfort him, & last night & this morning with Mel softly crying regularly because he misses Henry I am at a loss. Archie isnt bothered as he has never forgiven Henry for biting him some months ago, albeit a small bite on his ear, but Mel is a truly pure soul with not a streak of badness or grudge in him. Whilst the incidents have occurred when I am at home what happens if Im out??? Yes, I could lock Henry in the kitchen but is that fair on Henry?? Have I over reacted to everything, but, when I look at Mel's injuries which I feel are dreadful I wonder what else I should have done. Our vet, & friends who have no experience of greyhounds, say I did. The house feels like someone has died. It is little comfort that Henry is safe & knows the kennels. No one can love him as much as his mother. My little family has been ripped apart. Yes, I do believe that Henry could also thrive as an only child. However, with Archie facing his own mortality in the probably not so distant future, that leaves Mel as an only boy. I believe it would be hateful for me to get another dog if Henry is still in kennels & with the epilepsy & new problem I think it will be years before there is someone like me of a certain age, single, only part time working, who would devote their whole being to having an animal family. I am grateful for people's understanding but I don't want sympathy. I want someone to tell me if there is any way I can help my child & bring him home whilst keeping the others safe. I believe normal loving caring people do not gey over traumatic events but if they are fortunate they come to terms with things. I can not imagine either in this situation. Too many people return animals to many different charities, sometimes without real thought about the consequences for that animal. I don' t want to be one of those statistics. Henry always slept next to me with his arms around me or his head cradled in my neck. It was simply horrid this morning to see the empty space. I would gladly lose a limb rather than be in this position.

Sadly Henry has come back to the kennels today. Despite every effort by his owner to make things work; after a third incident involving her other Greyhound she decided it would be best for everyone to return him. Seana is devastated that it has to come to this conclusion. After much discussion we all agree this is the right decision for Henry. We are sure Henry would be much happier as an only dog. He is a very affectionate and friendly lad. Our thoughts are with Seana for making such a hard decision. Xxx

Sadly Neval has been returned as he has been suffering from separation anxiety since being rehomed last week. We feel he may benefit perhaps from living with a family as he loves to play with a ball and was very clean in the house.
