Gone But Not Forgotten

HECTOR

Hector GBNF

Dear Di and all at Caessr

 
We adopted our beloved cocker spaniel Hunter ( who we renamed Hector ) in 2018 when he was 17months old. He was such a unique character and was known around the village for being so friendly. We had our challenges with him as he would eat any thing and had bowel surgery a couple of times but that never put him off going to the vets - he loved going there and they loved him as well.
 
He has been such a big part of our family and adored by us and our grandchildren. Sadly in May he was diagnosed with lymphoma and although he had three different types of chemotherapy- he didn’t respond. 
 
We were lucky we had a few more weeks with him than we thought we would but very sadly had to have limpet down on 11.11 2025.
 
We have a big hole in the family and home at the moment. Thank you for letting us adopt such a wonderful dog.
 
Kind regards

EDDIE

Eddie GBNF

Hi John and everyone at CAESSR

I am sorry to say that Eddie woke with a distended tummy this morning. After much exploration throughout the day, his scan found a burst liver tumour bleeding into his tummy. The vet told us there was no alternative but to put him to sleep. He went peacefully just before 5pm.

Eddie was the most beautiful energetic and happy boy. An absolute treasure who brought pleasure to so many. The soldiers I work with adored him. He will be sorely missed by many and most of all by Paul and me for he was a fast and furious ray of sunshine in our world.

Thank you for the gift of letting us adopt him.

RORY

Rory GBNF

Hi Ian

I am very sad to tell you that my dear CAESSR boy Rory has passed (24/6/25). I rescued him in February 2015 when he was just 6 months old.

We drove up from Devon on a very snowy day to collect him and he was such a good pup on the journey. He has loved a trip in the car ever since.

He loved best of all to put up pheasants and to eat! He was a one off character. He was just the best boy and my best pal for just over 10years.

Sadly he had cancer in his tummy and lungs which had spread very quickly so we had to make the sad decision to let him go.

I was with him as he slipped away and the very hardest thing I have ever had to do. I miss him so much.

I had not realised that you had a gone but not forgotten page and hope that Rory could be added.

We are going to scatter his ashes on 13th August on what would have been his 11th birthday. We will do this in the big field where he used to love putting up his favourite bird.

I hope you can add him to the page for us.

I have attached a picture.

warm regards

MAX

Max 2 gbnf

Hi, 

I just thought I'd let you know that after 6 amazing years of fun and love from Max after getting him from yourselves, unfortunately we lost him to cancer a few weeks ago and we are heartbroken. Thankyou for giving us that chance to give Max the life he deserved.

ROCKET

Rocket GBNF

 

Dear all at CAESSR
We have just lost our wonderful family CAESSR cocker/cav dog Rocket .

We were his third owners yet had the joy of having him in our family for 14 1/2 years.

He was our first dog and you chose him for us, fostered him near our house, and rang us to say “ we have the perfect dog for you”.
Indeed he was, and we can’t express our thanks to you enough .

He has featured in the CAESSR calendar, much to our delight, and been at the centre of our family . He was also much loved by our local parkrun community, including children otherwise scared of dogs and adults who didn’t like them- except Rocket. He ran over 250 5k runs there.
Our children grew up with him and we all miss him dreadfully. But our hearts are full of gratitude for the wonderful memories he has given us, and to you for giving him to us.

One day, when we have moved house, we will plan to rehome another one, but meantime Rocket is in our hearts and we are so grateful to you.

With best wishes
Judy and Peter Bradley
