With great sadness we must inform you that our Astrid passed away on the 21^st of February 2023.  She had cancer of her left kidney with metastases in her hind leg, everything went very fast. We are very sad.  She was perfect.  We miss her immensely.

Thank you for bringing her into our life.

Life is so empty now

I miss you so.

Our Kasper left us peacefully on Monday the 16^th of January 2023 at 18:00h.

Our sweet, big, soft bear was so tired of fighting the ugly lung tumors that he

let us know that it was enough for him.

On the 7^th of January 2023 Janah quietly left us for her big sister Coca.

When, 6 years ago, she arrived  in our home as a skinny, fearful re-adoptive dog we did not expect how kind, soft, and affectionate she became.  She finally felt safe, she finally had her golden basket. We cherished her till her last day.

Dear Janah, we miss you immensely.

♡ Forever in our hart.

♡ So kind, so faithful, so special.

♡ You will be missed, but never forgotten.

Thank you for the beautiful 9 years with us. Be well up there my dear friend “Thunder”.

I herewith want to inform you that on Thursday last week, the 1^st of December, my dearest Suzy passed away. She arrived in our family on the 19^th of June 2020. She was a 9-year-old senior whom we welcomed with open arms.  Unfortunately, she could only stay with us for a short time.  Kidney failure killed her.

Despite the relatively short time, compared to her predecessors, she leaves a deep impression and a great emptiness.  We had a special bond, Suzy, and me. An instant connection. We understood each other without words. One look, a touch or a feeling was enough.  She is and was very special.

Suzy will be missed by our family.  Meanwhile she has been cremated and in another way, she is back home with her family. Just like the other galgo angels we will never forget her.

Mireille, thank you for everything.

Thanks for letting Suzy be part of our family.

Love,

Annemie Deventer and family

Lieve lieve Tess,

We hebben je vandaag om 13.15u moeten laten gaan, gebroken en verscheurd van verdriet om deze beslissing te moeten nemen.
Maar je kon niet meer, 't is vrij snel gegaan, op 4 dagen tijd. We hebben nog alles geprobeerd om je nog wat langer bij ons te houden maar 't heeft niet mogen zijn. In '14 zijn we je komen halen in Aalter, om je broer te helpen. Thor was fel gebeten geweest en na 3 operaties en 7 weken later, durfde hij niet meer gaan wandelen. M'n lieve Tess, wat heb jij wonderen verricht, een super moedertje, alles viel terug in de plooi.
Spijtig hebben we je broer 2 jaar geleden ook moeten laten gaan, stomme botkanker. Je treurde en dan zijn we je een zus gaan halen: Soraya. Je was terug blij, deed ons goed je terug gelukkig te zien. Sinds vorig jaar kreeg je dan een puppy zusje erbij, Lisa. En weer nam je het moederrolletje over. M'n lief toeike, want dat was je bijnaam, wat ben je graag gezien geweest. Je mensen zusjes, broer, schoonzus, broers, kleinkindjes, familie... Iedereen is afscheid van je komen nemen, je bent de laatste dagen enorm geknuffeld geweest. Lekkers konden we je niet meer geven want je wou niet meer eten. Maar liefde, heel veel liefde in overvloed heb je gekregen. Rust nu maar m'n toeike, je hebt het verdiend, geef je zus Rani en broers Toby en Thor een dikke knuffel van ons.
Heel veel liefs,
Mama, papa
Soraya en Lisa

Hélène, deceased on the 19th of August 2022

After 13,5 years on this earth (born in March 2009) of which 11 years with me (adoption on the 19^th of November 2011), my dear Leentje (Hélène) quietly left to the dog heaven, to her sisters who preceded her.  She has known all of them, Lina, Estelle, Maïté and Eloise, they will certainly welcome her up there.

I let her go, in my arms, her backpack filled with all the love and gratitude that I feel and felt for her during all these beautiful, valuable years.  She was everything to me and so much more and she gave me here unconditional love and gratitude back twice in all modesty.

Leentje, my sweet dog child, you will always be deep in my heart, forever and ever!

Heartbroken but grateful that you could be with us!

Your Mom Marie-Thérèse, Aunt Rita, brother Prince and sisters Rosy and Suzy.

Tonight, after more than 15 years, we had to say farewell to our last greyhound.

Kyrah, at first an extremely shy puppy of 3 months old, has grown into our pack’s clown.

She was always ready to play, always ready to steal food.

She became an old, gray lady whom we had to let go with pain in our heart.

Sleep softly dear girl, over the rainbow bridge a whole pack is waiting for you…

Mireille,

With a heavy heart I send this mail to you.

We want to let you know that on Friday last week we decided to let our dear Pelota put to sleep.

For a while she had health problems and no matter what we tried she did not get better.

She was an important member of our family and she saw our family grow. She saw 3 beautiful children being born, she joined us on vacations, and she was overwhelmed with love and hugs.

She was always there for us, and we were there for her till the end.   We could spare her the worst pain but nevertheless it hurts no less in our hearts. 

The lack is great and the emptiness she leaves even greater.

Forever in our hearts.

Love.

Kristel and Robin

Bent, Louise and Leon

Dear Zita,

No word is strong enough to express how much we will miss you. Also, we are very grateful that you were an important member of our family  for 8 years and for the many beautiful memories that you leave.

Good luck up there.

I must report the sad news that my Brisa passed away.

She was my special cuddly girl, my walk mate with the 2 chihuahuas and my comfort in difficult days. Together with the others, after a divorce, she moved with me, but it was fine because we were together. She had lymph node cancer in her neck, one side was operated, but after a short time the other side was affected and on top of it, she had heart murmur. I adopted her when she was 8 years old, and she could stay with me for about 7 years. The last cortisone injection to make her feel better had worn off much too quickly.  We still had 2 magical days in the end though, then it was over.

I am so grateful that I could

With intense sadness we had to say farewell to Eros (Pepo, adoption 2012, born on the 14^th of February 2010), our first galgo, due to paralysis of the hind legs.

With great sadness we inform you that Lance (Lancelot) passed away.  He was born on the 12^th of March 2009 and died on the 23^rd of March 2022. We could adopt him on the 17^th of September 2011.

He made our family complete with his kind snout and his pleasant tripping in the house. We enjoyed him very much.  He has fought to the end but in vain.  He died due to heart failure for which he was being treated already for more than 2 years. We miss him in everything we do, and it is immensely quiet in our house. We miss his kind snout always waiting for us, he took everyone into his heart.  We can continue to tell how sweet he was and what a lovely character he had.  How he “saved” my oldest daughter with one glance from her fear of dogs, how he loved to cuddle on a blanket, how he loved to walk…

It is a grieving process that we must go through, and it will take time.

We are very grateful that you saved him in Spain and that we were able to enjoy 11 beautiful years together.  He will be missed immensely.

Thank you for letting us adopt such a beautiful and sweet darling.  He will be forever in our heart.

Kind regards, 

Kathleen, Lance’s mom

We adopted Speedo, a 4-year-old galgo boy, on the 25^th of August 2012.

It was our best decision ever.

From day 1 we had an unbreakable click that has only been strengthened over the years we  could spend together. Speedo is and will stay forever in our heart.

Dear darling, we will miss your playful look, your affection and friendship.

Your sisters are waiting for you to play together forever.
