16. Fergus -

a beautiful three and a half year old greyhound. We adopted him in September, 2012 and adored him. Two days before Thanksgiving my 10 year old daughter took out to the back yard for a run and the next thing we heard was her screaming for her father and I. We went running out to the back porch and found Fergus dead. The only thing our vet could come up with was that he had an undetected heart condition much like the young athletes you hear about who play and play and play and then drop dead one day out of the blue. We miss him very much. We were lucky to be able to adopt another greyhound shortly after Thanksgiving and Finnbar is a hoot. He is helping to heal the Fergus-sized hole in our family.
