another sad day

[janrobinson]

Sadly I had to say goodbye to dear old Duke yesterday. Such a grand old man, never a cross word to anyone just went along at his own pace and did his own thing. I have only had him 3 years and he was apoorly old man when he came. Kept in a garage.Elbows bleeding. About 3 stone overweight as he hadnever been walked. He couldn't stand up. He didn't know what a walk was and he had to be on a lead all the time as if I took it off he just stood there not knowing what to do. He also had testicular cancer which I had rmoved as soon as he came to me.

He improved from then on and had some lovely walks and I hope a lovely life. It is never long enough because you always wish you had had them sooner and that they shouldn't have gone through those unhappy years.

Lucy and I are bereft at the moment.

You have made our lives so much richer, and we can never thank you enough. we are all thinking of tonight and every night, god bless you Jan

Jan I am so sorry that you have lost your beloved Duke. He will forever be in your heart. It makes me so mad that people can be so cruel, whether intentional or not, but Duke was finally blessed to be taken in by you. Be comforted that his time with you was the best and happiest.

Our thoughts are with you and Lucy.
God Bless - Joyce.
