Sorry, but I wanted to share this picture of our 8 year old
Irish Wolfhound Anna Livia Plurabelle of Hills of Wales, better
known as Liffey, who passed away this morning…
Sorry to hear about your loss.
J.
My sympathies go out to you buddy. May Liffey always be in your heart.
My condolences. The price we pay for the love of our pets…
Very sorry to hear it Jeff. She was a beautiful, sweet natured animal. My condolences.
Jeff, 
I’m really sorry to hear of your loss. Our condolences go out to you and yours.
Sorry for your loss Elbogo..I had a Irish Wolfhound named Tara..they are truley the best dogs in the world..gentle giants..God bless her..she will be in my thoughts and prayers… 
Yes, it is hard. Monday we said goodby to our 16 year old yellow lab, Odie.
All the best, Dave.
Sorry to hear of your losing Liffey. I know she must have meant very much to you and its hard to say good bye to a pet. I don’t know if pets go to Heaven, but I want to go where they go. … Ed
Very sorry to hear that. It’s such a sweet breed to be with us such a short time. Years ago, I was indebted to a pack of Irish wolfhounds at the Detroit St. Patricks day parade. It was all of 9 degrees outside and I was in a kilt. I knelt beside one to pet the dog and was surrounded by a group of warm, friendly, affection starved wolfhounds. I wasn’t cold anymore.
Jeff,
Sorry to hear about your loss.

Thanks everybody. That is one of the very crummy things about having
a Wolfhound, they don’t, as a rule, live very long. But it is certainly a major dog experience. At a 150lbs, she stood almost 6’3" with her paws on my shoulders. Her poop was bigger than mine, she could belch and fart as loud as me, and I simply adored her, and feel very fortunate to have experienced her life… mostly on her terms.
She was stubborn as a mule, but galloped like a horse. She moved like a leopard at times, and others, leaped around like a gazelle… and nothing moved me more than to see her running out at full speed.
Shit, she will be missed, even her howling when I practiced…
Thanks
Elbogo:
So sorry for your loss, I hope the wonderful memories of your time with Liffey carry you through this time of sorrow.
I’m sure she was a great companion and friend, sorry for your loss. Just remember the happy times!
Damn but it’s hard to say goodbye to good friends. EB, didn’t you bring her to Milwaukee Irish fest over the years? It seems like I remember her, but I am not sure.
God be good to you,
Mick
It’s harder than losing a parent, I think. Our last dog inspired a tune, a reel, appropriately, which I ended up calling “Black Dog in the Snow.” It’s good to have a tune to remember your dog by.
