It has taken me a while to pluck up the courage for this blog. I started blogging when I got involved in the world of Greyhound Adoption... it was meant to be a dog blog, along the way other parts of my life and thoughts crept in. This blog however is pure dog..........Karma.
Last week I made the saddest, toughest decision to make .... I elected to let Karma go with the dignity and love she deserved. After about 5 months of steady decline in her health and appearance, my beautiful Karma was a mere shell of herself. She no longer enjoyed her walks, she stopped interacting with the family, she was very grumpy to other animals....not Karma anymore.
I will always remember her as the most gentle dog I ever owned. So polite and loving and possibly the most loyal dog I ever owned. If I was near and someone else tried to walk her away from me she would just stand there....not without me...she was not going to move.
So I take solace in having had the love of the sweetest dog for the years she spent with us....and hope she enjoyed her time with us.....
R.I.P my beautiful girl

I was so sorry to here about Karma,she was a beautiful sweet girl who was so loved and you new she loved and adored her beautiful loving family. Our thoughts are with you.
I was so very sorry to hear about you losing Karma. I was lucky enough to know her even before that was her name :) She will always be remembered as beautiful loving pooch. RIP puppy girl.
I'm so sorry to hear that Karma passed away. I know how you feel right now... I have been there too. :-( Wishing you some peace as you adjust to the new normal.

Sorry to hear the sad news about gentle Karma. She will be missed on our Greytwalks.
It took me ages to read this as I knew in my heart that I was going to lose my beautiful Bella too. I am sure that they are together now eating whatever they want and bossing everyone around. To let them go when they still had dignity is the greatest gift to give. Farewell beautiful Karma. Tell Bella I miss her.
