Xerxes' uncle had a stroke

Rainbow Bridge

The Rainbow Bridge is the theme of a work of poetic prose written some time between 1980 and 1992, whose original creator is unknown. The theme is of an other-worldly place to which a pet goes upon its death, eventually to be reunited with its owner.

    Xerxes' uncle had a stroke

    Xerxes' uncle, Marshall Matt Dillon (Marsha, Marsha, Marsha) had an ischemic stroke last week and was put down in his home surrounded by those that loved him.  He was almost 5 years old, was a dual champion (conformation and lure coursing) and even though he was red in color, he still had many many "blonde" moments-thus the call name.

    Rest in Peace Marsha, there are plenty of rabbits to chase and your family will be waiting for you at the bridge.

    Aww, that's a shame.  Strokes in dogs aren't necessarily common but they DO happen.  My condolences to his family.

    I just wanted to post a pic of Marsha, Marsha, Marsha for everyone.  And thank you for your kind words, they are a great source of comfort for his mom, his "pack" and the entire pharaoh hound community.  Be sure to give your fur kids a big hug tonight.
