Definitely the hardest decision to make as you say, knowing it’s for the right reasons doesn’t make it any easier. RIP luna. iirc you’ve got other dogs? How are they doing?

We were advised they believed she was 3 when we picked her up from the rescue centre – we were already her 3rd family, so she’d had a fairly unsettled time. Based on that she’d have been just 11 in a couple of weeks.
A diagnosis of Lymphoma back in August was followed by a very rapid decline in her energy and mobility. Meds ensured she wasn’t in pain, but the weight has just fallen off her over the last month - the vast majority of her muscle mass just disappearing.
Always incredibly difficult – even when it’s 100% the right thing to do for them.
A pic from when she was still healty.
I’ll miss my pal when we come to visit. She was an absolute cracker.

We’re down to one now > our German Shepherd (now four). They weren’t best buddies tbh, but it’s been funny how the Shep sensed Luna’s illness and weakening state, and switched into protection mode. Wouldn’t let her go out to the toilet on her own. Would invariably be found lying close to her for a nap whereas before they were pretty independent. Breed instinct I guess.

Cheers everyone. She loved people, was particularly fond (and tolerant) of kids. We think one of her previous homes must have had a cat too, as she always loved it when we met one whilst out on a walk.

Friends visiting for new year's and they've brought their rescue greyhound. He's got racing history (winning stuff!), and is very calm.
Didn't realise they get so big! He's massive. Lovely, but massive.

Met a couple of lovely ex-racing greyhounds last year at a family party, the boy was big and took a shine to me - Inknew this as he kept sidling up and leaning on me. I wasn’t really aware that any dog breeds did this, but it was really nice. He got lots of cuddles….

Yep leaning is a thing, Rottweilers do this a lot to. Also they will take your hand and lead you.mik wrote: Thu Jan 01, 2026 1:16 am Met a couple of lovely ex-racing greyhounds last year at a family party, the boy was big and took a shine to me - Inknew this as he kept sidling up and leaning on me.

Greyhounds are such awesome dogs, I've never met one that wasn't gentle and lovely.

Big fan of greyhounds and lurchers, all I’ve ever had. Current greyhound Missy won a few races in her time
If anyone ever considers one think about getting a black one. For some reason they’re always the last to be rehomed, my guess it’s because the brindles, blues etc photograph better and look cuter in the websites but who knows

Black cats are similarly hard to re-home. Go for the black dogs and cats, people. Don’t let them stay for ages in shelters.

Only benefit of this cold weather, Missy seeks out whatever warmth she can, which means a very cuddly greyhound
