This is the whole pack and their tags.

We hung Cantu's tags on the little white angel greyhound figurine. The bronze racers hold the tags of all of the others.

We got Cantu's remains and added them to the memorial we have for all of our hounds. Life without them is very difficult and it will take time to adjust. We will adopt another some day, but for now we need to deal with our loss.

Today we said goodbye to Cantu. She started vomiting Friday night and then stopped eating. We took her to the vet and she got fluids IV, anti-nausea med and antibiotic, but she still wouldn't eat. We will miss our sweet girl. She was the last of our greyhounds.
RIP Cantu 5/20/2005 - 11/27/2017

Cantu decided to lay in the nice cool grass early this morning when I let her outside. The grass was a little long and she seems to like that. She will flop down and rub her head in the grass and just lay there.

Cantu turned 12 years old today. She has a chronic problem with corns on her three good legs, but she isn't showing any signs of serious problems otherwise. She loves her treats and likes to go outside and lay in the grass.

Cantu rests below the shelves with the urns for the other hounds. Top to bottom they are Glow, Stephanie, Bliss, Tommy and Bullet. The bottom photo is a portrait we had done of all of the hounds before we got Cantu.

I added Bullet's tags to the bronze with the other hounds' tags. Glow, Stephanie, Bliss, Tommy and now Bullet.

We said goodbye to Bullet today. He is 14 years and 7 months old. We have had him longer than any of the others in the pack and it has been very painful watching him slip away from us. Bullet has always been full of energy and always wanted the girls to chase him. He would lead them on chases around the trees in the back yard and was always playful with them. He really missed his buddy Glow when she passed away, but for another year and a half he had his sister, Bliss, until she got bone cancer. Bullet never got any diseases or had any medical problems in all of his life. He was our healthiest hound. Even at the end he was able to go outside to go to the potty. He just stopped eating and was starting to fail. We loved him so much and it has been hard to see him go. Now we just have Cantu. She is healthy and doing well and I hope she continues so for some time. Losing Bullet has been like losing the whole pack all over again. He was the last connection to the original pack of five. Now his remains are with the others on the wall in the family room where they would all lay and spend time with us.
