Levi

Levi, what did he mean to me, well that easy he meant the world to me, he was like my shadow and I loved him to bits. When I first met Levi he was in a sorry state but he soon rallied round put on weight even the vets were amased by him. Levi loved nothing more than to jump in the muddy puddles lol he was a toad for that lol oh and he just loved swimming. Levi had been ill for a few weeks and he was back and forth to the vets but I never thought that on the 21st nov 2011 that i would have to say good bye to him for the last time. He's left a huge hole in my heart but hopefully i'll soon be able to watch his videos and look at my pictures of my Elvis. Thank you BWS for allowing this very special boy to join my family.

R.I.P Levi, now you run free darling , until we meet again xxx

Goodnight ,God bless & Sweet Dreams Pal

Allie

She had been having fits for some time but these had been controlled to an extent by her medication. Our vet had run tests to see the reason for these but came up clear except for a brain tumour. She was muddling along not too badly until yesterday when everything went wrong. She was very distressed and could not carry on any longer and we unfortunately lost her. We are devastated and so is her sister boxer Stella. It was all so quick at the end we are all still reeling from it. We enjoyed her company so much - she had so many little quirky ways and as usual with a boxer was so funny with it. Her and Stella were the best of pals from the start and already Stella is still looking for her and refusing the toast that they both scrapped over in the morning as their treat for the day. She was both beautiful in looks , manners and love and shall be missed very much by us all.

Thank you for the time that she had with us which was unfortunately all too short.

RIP February 2011

Chleo

Chleo was rehomed in early 2005 and spent the last three years of her long life being loved and spoilt by her new family. It is far more appropriate that her Mum and Dad have their words for her here.

I lost my special friend today
the one you can't replace,
looking at her empty bed
I still can see her face.

If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again

Sadly on the 10th April 08 my baby girl Chleo went to sleep to make her last journey to rainbow bridge, she will be sadly missed by all the family , we loved the time we had with her in our lives and couldn’t imagine the last 3 years without her, mummy and daddy are heartbroken and miss her soooo much ,when my nephew now 2yrs was born Chleo couldn’t wait to get to the car seat to give him kisses she was all exited when the pram came in and couldn’t wait till he was lifted for more kisses.

We will miss all the fun we had out the back door with her,  the 10yr old running about like a 2yr old, miss taking her for her long walks and how funny she can be when she needed water she would scratch at her bowls even flip them until she got our attention and I wont forget at night when she was settling down she would rumble about till she got her bed just the way she wanted it , that took quite a while sometimes.
deep in our hearts your memory is kept, to love cherish ,never forget ,you will always be in our hearts chleo, till we meet again.

Goodnight mummy’s  teddy bear x x x x x x x x x

Its is with a heavy heart that I type this. I am afraid Tyson has gone to the bridge.

Just after Floyd came in to us he became seriously ill with lung worm and spent some time in hospital recovering. Sadly, once Floyde recovered we discovered that his previous treatment in life had left him with a deep mistrust of humans. Despite our best efforts to help him, we had to let him go the bridge where he could be free and relax. Humans let Floyd down and in the end, he just couldn't trust anyone.

Murphy

Unfortunately, there are some dogs that come into the rescue that we cant help. As much as we tried Murphy, was one of these dogs.

He came from Ireland and we had no history at all for him. He didn't even arrive with so much as a collar to his name!! Due to behavioural issues and his unpredictability we had to have our boy put to sleep on Friday 23rd March.

This has been the hardest thing to date that we have had to deal with, this is the bad side of rescue, when you can't save them because they are just too damaged from their previous life.

He is now free to be a typical boxer, to run and jump and play and most of all fear no person.

RIP April 07

Zac

Zac was one of the first dogs to come through the rescue some two years ago. Unfortunatley on the 2nd March 2007 he made his way to Rainbow bridge at the grand ago of only three. Zac's mum is heart broken and totally lost without him.

We think it was a heart condition and he just went to sleep and had no pain which is really what we all ask for when it happens.

Zac will be sadly missed but at least he had a fab two years.
