THE SADDEST OF DAYS (15.8.2014)

Helen and Manfred wrote to us to say: “It is with great sadness that I am writing to let you know that our beautiful boy has passed away. He had a brain tumour, which was operated on and the veterinary surgeon thought he was going to be all right. However, the tumour came back with a vengeance and was non-operable. Bob put up a good fight, but in the end we had to let him go. It was a heart breaking decision to make, but it was not fair on Bob to prolong his suffering. No words can ever describe what a beautiful, lovely dog he was. He is missed terribly.

Thank you to all at IRR for bringing us together

BOB’S STORY

Just to let you know how Bob is doing, now that we have had him for something over three months. Bob has settled in very well, has calmed down, put on some weight and as you can see from the photographs he is absolutely gorgeous.

He has started attending dog training to help him to be more sociable when he meets other dogs. There has been some improvement. He also did not like any fluorescent items, clothing/bags etc. Just by chance, when he was attending his training, two policemen in their fluorescent overjackets came by and they willingly spend a little time with us. Bob is now no longer interested in fluorescent items – it is boring now.

He is absolutely super in the house and loves nothing better than playing with our grandchildren.

His retriever/collie personality comes out in different ways. He likes everybody to fuss him ( well, he is entitled to it ) but also ready to try and round up other dogs if given the opportunity.

We would like to thank everyone at IRR for finding our new addition to our family. A big thank you also for all the help given, which has been much appreciated.
