Shadow (J’s Canyon)
3/27/05 - 8/20/16


Shadow the greyhound died this Saturday after a private battle
with osteosarcoma. He passed away peacefully at home surrounded by
friends and loved ones.
Shadow’s early years are shrouded in mystery, but we do know
that racing under the name J’s Canyon, he won 11 races in Daytona. He
took early retirement and passed through several sets of loving hands
until he found his forever home in Middletown, New Jersey.
He thoroughly enjoyed his golden years, lounging on his beds and
favorite sofa, and sunning himself on the deck whenever he had the
chance. He loved his daily walks “among the people”, checking in with
his neighborhood fan club, and constantly inducting new members. One
neighbor was so smitten, she adopted two greyhounds of her own!
Although retired, he did freelance work as a research assistant,
copy editor, children’s book author, therapist, and meal supervisor/food
taster. In his spare time he enjoyed the occasional game of catch-thesqueaky-toy, chewing rawhides, and getting ear massages.
He would like to be remembered for his joie de vivre, charming
manner, and friendliness. He would like to be honored by his fans
remembering to love hard, forgive easily, and take the time to enjoy the
“little things” in life like a good walk with friends or a sun spot to bask in.
