BOBBY BEAR HAS GONE TO SLEEP (9.9.2015)

Sharon says “I am feeling very, very sad tonight. We had to have our lovely old Bobby Bear put to sleep. We only had him for 21 months.

He was sent to us as a foster dog but we just couldn’t let him go. He stayed and took a huge part of our hearts which we gave freely to him.

We loved that old boy so much and we will love him forever”

Sharon tells us “Bobby came to us as a foster in January 2014 and wow did he turn our lives upside down. We fell in love straight away so he was going nowhere! We felt very honoured that IRR had entrusted this lovely old boy into our care.

He was underweight, and not very well but 6 months of special care, cuddles, love and being spoilt with every need catered for helped him to become the big strong male dog that he should have been.

He had a fantastic 18 months with me, Chris and his female doggie companions, Jesse Sadly, the last three months had seen a decline in his general health. Our Bobby Bear was beginning to show his age!

The time came when we had to show our last act of love for him, the hardest bit ever, the saddest bit! The bit that would help him to keep his dignity. For him, we had to do it.

We said our goodbyes on Wednesday 9 September 2015 after 21 months of being together.

We will never forget him, will always love him and we will always hold a very special place in our hearts for him.

RIP Bobby Bear. You were simply the best.

Love you forever

Sharon, Chris, Jesse and Ella”

HISTORY

Brave Bobby was surrendered to IRR as he was picked up as a stray. We think he was most likely between 10-12 years old. His coat was very badly matted from sleeping outdoors in inclement weather and he was generally suffering from neglect.

FOSTER REPORT

Personality:
Bobby is a lovely old boy who wants nothing more than to be loved. He’s good with other dogs and with every person he’s come into contact with, a real gem of a golden boy. While we don’t know his exact age, the vet believes he’s an older boy but he still has a sprightly spring in his step.

Behaviour with other animals: Good with dogs but untested with cats.

Bobby’s dream home:
This handsome gentleman has had a tough life and he deserves the most loving and caring home to live out the rest of his days surrounded by love, warmth and affection. He will reward you with all the love in his big heart.

February 2014

Bobby’s fosterer has fallen in love with him, so he will be spending the rest of his days with Sharon and his new sisters Jesse and Ella.

Update from Bobby’s Forever Home April 2014

Bobby is settled and happy. Now he is well, he is a big strong confident boy. He loves cuddles, his walks and plays for ages with his Kong. He is much fitter now and his legs don’t give way like they used to. He runs round the garden just because he can. It’s so lovely to see. He loves his food and has a very good appetite. He has put 2 stones on in weight since we have had him.

He likes to spend time with Chris, my husband when he is working from home and will lay under his desk.

We own a holiday home in Scotland and we all go up there together as often as we can which they all enjoy.

Thank you for Bobby and Jesse from Sharon
