Alex was a greyhound taken from the Track at the Age of Two he knew that
wasn’t the life he wanted…. yet he still loved to run once in a while.
My daughter Lisa became Alex’s running and walking friend since she is in
the National Guard and keeps in shape by running.
Every time ALEX would see her…..he got so excited….knowing they would
either be going for a run or for a relaxing walk.
But Alex was getting old and Arthritis became his enemy……and it was
not easy for him to run as he wanted to…but still every time he would
see Lisa….his heart said “Lets go for a walk Lisa” but his hips wouldn’t
let him be the dog he use to be.
Arthritis finally won the battle…..but Lisa was with him on his final day.
He lived a wonderful life which he shared with me…..and Lisa with her
family; Alan her husband and her daughter Jennifer.
He also knew when Alan came to the house…he would bring treats for him,
and often they would both lay on the floor…and Alex would want to share
them with Alan.
For me Janice his owner he was a great watchdog and protector.
We have many great memories of him….and will never forget him.
