Gone But Not Forgotten

MEGAN

When we adopt a new doggy member into the family , we all probably presume that we are going to outlive them. But when the day comes and they leave us forever, we can never be prepared for that indescribable pain that we feel however many times we've been through the journey before!!

The utter helplessness and emptiness!!

And as it is now with my wonderful Megan who came into our lives in October 2019!!

From the day she arrived she took over! Every couch , bed , cushion, pillow chair she commandeered!

Although she enjoyed her walks - into everything always - she was a true couch potato!!

In the evenings when I settled into my recliner chair to watch TV she would jump onto the neighboring stool and slide over my shoulder onto my knee with her bum still on my shoulder and there she would remain all evening long!!! She was definitely " MUMMY'S Girl" !!!

At the end of December 2021 she vomited one afternoon ( well dogs do occasionally ) but within three short weeks cancer was confirmed and we made the awful decision!!

I was cradling her on my knee at home in her favourite recliner chair when the time came! She knew how much I cherished her!!

I have my other babies with me at the moment thank God but to say that Megan was special is an understatement !

What a character and what a privilege to have had her in our lives although for such a short time - two years & three months!!

I spoke to Di yesterday on the telephone and I thank you all at Caessr for everything you did to save Megan from the neglect she was suffering before I knew her - You are all angels!!

And please be assured - she could not have been more loved, cherished and adored!!

Thank you CAESSR for the wonderful , unforgettable time I had with Megan!!

Difficult to imagine at the moment but the time WILL come when I can look at her picture without this awful sense of loss that I'm feeling now!

Love you always Megan!!!!

CHARLIE

After 11 years passing since Charlie was adopted from Caessr  It is with an extremely heavy and heartbroken heart to have to report of Charlie’s impending passing.

Having fallen ill in the past 7 days we, our family have had numerous conversations with vetenarians and following extensive medical treatment and blood tests carried out he has been found with kidney failure and given the only real option of sending him to his eternal sleep.  This has quite understandably left all devastated by the news and we are rallying around him with renewed vigour to ensure his last moments are filled with all the love we can muster. I myself have a very heavy and painfilled heart as I considered him my best buddy and we’ve had numerous happy walks and adventures together. I am not looking forward to Tuesday but I do draw some comfort in the fact that we all were so privileged to  have him as part of our family.

In tribute of our lives shared together, his last moments will be carried out at home where he will have the comfort and warmth to carry him on to his next journey. He will always play a role in our lives even if only in memories.

From all of us. We thank you for introducing us to this wonderful soul who we came to love and adore over the years.

Kindest of regards

BAILEY

 

November 3rd 2021 and it is with a very very sad heart that I have to inform you Bailey ran across the Rainbow Bridge.

He passed away in my arms.

Took him to vets today with cough, organised heart scan & xrays next week after vet carried out a thorough examination.

But it was not to be.

Rest in peace my darling Bailey.

You will be sorely missed 😢

BUSTER

Buster

 

Our love story.

Buster blustered into our life just over a year ago. This sprightly, incredibly handsome gentleman in his what was perceived to be elderly years, (at a mere 10 years old) was a total bundle of energy, character,love and unbelievably intelligence. Age as it is said is only a number, certainly true in Busters case.

On arrival to his ‘retirement home’ he quickly dashed around the house , ‘enjoyed’ his own meal though questionable if tasted at all as it was consumed at such a frantic pace,he then proceeded to steal his new Dads roast chicken dinner!

After giving his new Mum an absolute gorgeous smile he assumed his passionate advances would be well received! He very quickly realised this was unacceptable but cuddles and love were really the best way forward and cuddles in abundance ensued!

Busters smile was just remarkable,adorable and unforgettable.’ I love your smile’ was his mantra and saying/ singing that he would just beam! His sneak attacks comprised of leaning in for a cuddle with his favourite toy, Mr Banana in his mouth, staring hypnotically in your eyes, suddenly dropping it and smothering his victim with licks.

We walked miles every morning , his excitement and enthusiasm whilst being ‘kitted up’ was a sight to behold. Circling at great pace with his banana in situ, lassoing his harness over his head whilst grappling it from his mouth was an art in itself.

Biased as we may be he was so special, he was loved completely and I know he loved us, rescued from poor living conditions he thrived, gained confidence and made friends, both doggie and humans over time in the village.

He was initially intimidated and somewhat scared of men and would be submissive to most other dogs outside of his home. He gained confidence, trusted Brian, his Dad,an amputee recovering during lockdown, (both had stumps as Buster had a very short docked tail so they both had something in common!). Over time they spent more time together and this gave Brian such incentive and determination to be able to walk Buster. Having to adjust to the use of prosthetic leg during lockdown at times when physiotherapy was not available was difficult in itself but he rose to the challenge, especially when said dog pulled like a freight train whilst on a lead!

Busters sudden illness was rapid, aggressive, unexpected, devastating and heart wrenching To have only a year of love, care and attention leaves us at times so bereft. It seems so incredibly cruel and unjust as he was so active and young.The only solace we have is we were all so incredibly happy together and the memories fondness and laughter he brought mean so much to us.

We feel so privileged and honoured that Caessr gave us the opportunity to care and love him, and allowing him to spend his remaining time with us. Forever in our hearts,

RIP special smiley boy.

Sue and Brian
