Sally Edwards

SALLY & JOE

Reunited at Rainbow Bridge. A big thank you to Christine and Michael for giving them both wonderful, happy lives and gentle, peaceful, painfree passings. No dogs could be more loved.

GOODBYE TO OUR LOVELY GENTLE GIRL (11.4.2017)

A very sad Christine and Michael said “Today, we had to have our beloved Sally put to sleep as her back end had gone. She captured our hearts from day 1. We will miss her so much, as will Joe. She was a lovely gentle dog, such a character, and she enriched our lives so much.

We have loved looking after Sally since the day we picked her and Joe up from their fosterers, Alison and David, in 2014

Thank you IRR, for giving us the opportunity to enjoy such a character as the “little cutie” that Sally was and for giving us the chance of having her in our lives.”

A week on they told us “Dearest Joey is still sad and unsettled, wondering where Sally is perhaps? But, rest assured, he is getting lots of cuddles and fuss as we share this sad time together.  We have always said we needed Joey and Sally as much as they needed us! We have many memories of her forever in our hearts and feel totally blessed to have had her in our lives for two and a half wonderful years.”

EARLY HISTORY

In 2014, Joey (aged 6) and Sally (aged 8) were surrendered to IRR due to a change in family circumstances. 

They are very close and we felt they had a calming effect on each other so, for these reasons, we would like them to be rehomed together. 

Both are happy around children but we would not recommend that they are rehomed in a house with cats present.

Sally and Joey came to the UK at the end of August.

SEPTEMBER 2014

Sally and Joey have gone together to their Forever Home

UPDATE FROM THEIR FOREVER HOME (October 2014)

Christine and Michael told us “Just a quick update to tell you they are settling in well. We had them on the beach this afternoon. Sally went for a paddle but Joe kept to the shallows”.

SECOND UPDATE (NOVEMBER 2014)

Michael says Sally and Joe are a joy to live with. Sally, whose coat is starting to grow back nicely, will walk off lead now and is good on the recall but Joe is more of a challenge. He is, apparently, OK as long as there are no other distractions, like dogs and people around, which means being very vigilant because, in Michael’s own words, ” he’s so darn fast when he starts to run but he’s getting there”.

Sally and Joe both love to meet other dogs and people and they also love to play with each other. Even though they have their own beds, Sally prefers the settee in the conservatory. Michael tells us “she likes her comfort does our Sally (she also prefers to have breakfast lying down)”.

He also recounted to their fosterers “Christine forgot your warning about Sally and shopping bags. ….. she helped herself to a tub of cheese savoury the other afternoon ….. but who can blame her?”

It is clear Sally and Joe are both loved to bits and have their paws very firmly under the table so everyone at IRR , especially Alison and David, is delighted.
