Sad News

Yesterday our 16 year old Whippet, Champion Allerei's Irish Coffee (Irish) lost her 2 year battle with cancer. We think the cancer spread to her brain causing seizures the last 2 months. She was a huge part of our family and she will be missed.

I'm real sorry to hear that, Keith. The same thing that happened to my Ginger about a year ago.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and thoughts.

FiverBob, you are right that they are great dogs.

Here is a pic of Irish when she was younger and being shown. The redhead is her handler.

I am sorry for your loss. Lossing a best friend like that is never easy. Sometimes I think my dog's through the years taught me more than I did them. RIP

RIP Irish She is a beautiful dog.

It has been a few months now but I lost 3 dogs within 13months. Never easy as they are truly 100% family members for us. Prayers and condolences from here.

It is apparent that she was able to touch a lot of lives Keith, Our condolences, just remember - all dogs go to heaven, and by the looks of it Irish is gonna be in the penthouse.

Thank for the kind words, thoughts and prayer for my family and I.

WYODODGE, Irish definitely touched a lot of lives. She was a top 20 Whippet for 4 years. She had several Group wins as well as Whippet Speciality wins.
