I've marveld for some time about the power of the online communities that exist. Mr. D has met, stayed with and skiied with people he's met through an online skiing forum. I never truly appreciated that community until I started blogging and getting involved with Greytalk.
Last night a member posted a thread about her greyhound being put down as a result of contracting osteosarcoma, an all-too-common plague of greyhounds. I had never met this hound nor her people (although this family was Bella's Secret Santa last year) but found myself crying as I read this beautiful tribute. Some people have a gift with words that draw you into their stories, and this member is one.
Bee Wiseman, you will be missed by your family and your extended, online family.

i was fortunate to have been introduced to trish, burke, murray, and bee wiseman because trish had seen pictures i'd been sharing on greytalk. she wanted to ask questions and get some pointers about photographing her greys.
as if she really needed any advice. i've seen some of her photos of her greys and just love them. and when i saw them again at dewey last year i just had to photograph bee and murray. i have no doubt my photos pale in comparison to what they must have of bee.
I've just started getting back into Greytalk a bit but haven't been there for a while so this news is a shock. Photos of Bee Wiseman always showed a lot of love and charm.
I wish there was something in the Hound world like that. There arent many bloodhound owners out there. I agree though there are some connections that we make online instantly and their words tug on our heart strings.
Hi Y'all,
When Humans have something in common they tend to bond...even if they meet only verbally...I guess it is like that stuff you humans call "glue"?
It is so sad when anyone we know loses a dog. You Humans don't handle loss very well. I hope she has another fur face to comfort her.
Y'all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
