Greys Hez Adream (Holmes)

Message from the Russell Family:
Holmes was a special greyhound who is pictured here doing what he loved best, being part of his pack. On the day of this photo Holmes was having a good ear day with both ears going in the same direction. Most days this was not the case. He took his ears, huge overbite and assorted special traits in stride though and thoroughly enjoyed each day. He was a fantastic ambassador for greyhound adoption for many years by working his charms at many meet and greets. He also was an adventurous hound but took mishaps like getting suck in an elevator, getting stranded on slippery grass in the back yard and having to have a a mall security escort in stride. Sadly he fractured his front leg last night most likely doing what he loved to do, romping in the yard. Our vet found a tumor and the tell tale signs of osteo on the X-rays. Due to his hind leg instability, our only option was to say goodbye. It was a very peaceful and fast journey. We all miss him dearly.
