Borrowed time..

A greyhounds life span is 12-14 years. Most greys we have known passed around 12 however we always said 12-14 at meet and greets. Jack turned 14 this past August. So we have "borrowed" 6 months on him. It was time it was crazy to see how quickly he turned for the worse.
He came to us a little over 5.5 years ago as a skinny foster who had bad teeth and was in much need of a bath. He got all he needed and was such a happy boy. When we put a collar on with his full name he hung his head high. Jack had a rough life before he found us. He was abused and neglected. He was only a foster at first however when he jumped up on the couch Jessie moved over to share with him that when we knew. Though jack had his issues. He like variety in his feeding however could not talk to tell me what he wanted. He hated thunder and loud noises and had a standing order for xanex to help with his anxiety issues. He was very routined, which was great for me :). He loved watching football and would get on the couch early on a Sunday morning so he would get the second best seat in our house. (Jeff has the first). I am glad he got to see his Giants win again. Maddie will miss you buddy!! I don't think we will ever find a dog a patient as you had been with her. We will miss you old man.
