The hounds - Hex's story
This story began when we adopted Brew in January 2009, after loosing our dearly loved Duke. It wasn't long after having Brew at home, that we thought it would be nice to begin thinking about getting him a girly companion to keep him company.
We spoke to Debbie at Greyhounds4U (G4U) to keep an eye out for us and to let us know if a suitable hound became available. We planned to meet a potential match at the G4U summer barbecue, but before we did, I received a message from Debbie saying that Brew’s brother Magic and sister Hex had retired from racing and were being re-homed through G4U!
I'm a believer in things happening for a reason. I checked Hex’s suitability on her profile and she sounded perfect, so I rang Debbie straight away to see if we could reserve her. I obviously wanted to adopt Magic too, but it wouldn't have been practical.
We met Hex at the 10th Anniversary G4U Summer BBQ (view my handmade limited edition G4U bunnies I made!) and fell in love straight away. We learnt that she had an overdeveloped bottom jaw that makes her teeth look a little goofy and which acquired her the nickname of Iron Jaw at the kennels. Both Brew and Hex got on really well so we travelled back to Cornwall together, where they both enjoy chasing each other around the garden.
Hex was very sweet, loved lots of cuddles, enjoyed chasing Brew nibbling at his ankles and standing under the bamboo tree. She was a proper little minx and kept Brew on his toes that's for sure.
Hex passed away at home on my step son's birthday - 16th February 2019.
