run free old lad
I don’t know if anyone will still remember me but I joined the forum way back in 2016 when Bess my black lab bless her became a tri paw . We were looking for another older dog as a puppy would not have been suitable at the time. Sadly she passed away six months later
.However we did rehome a retired Gun dog Dexter from a local game Keeper and he gave us some lovely moments. He soon settled into are lifestyle including caravanning where he became well known and loved by many who met him and a little picking up on the local shoots kept him trim
It was with a very heavy heart that that we had to say good bye to him in July this year he was so ill and in pain with an enlarged prostrate we had to let him go. Although we only had him for three years we miss him so much
Thank you for taking the time to read this I know many will understand how we feel at the moment

Re: run free old lad
I have a memory of a tri-paw doggy, and that must have been your Bess.
So sorry to read about Dexter. It doesn’t matter how long you have them, three weeks or three years, you get attached. He had a lovely life with you and you’ve been left with some very happy memories.
We do indeed know how you’re feeling, and it’s horrible, but I always say that despite the heartbreak, we wouldn’t be without them.

So sorry to read that you have lost your dear boy, Dexter it’s so heartbreaking when they leave us and however long we’ve had them it’s never enough. What a wonderful retirement he must have had with you I bet he enjoyed all the new experiences and obviously had a kind nature as you say everyone loved him. Run free dear Dexter

Re: run free old lad
So very sorry you have lost your lad, it is such a sad time we all know how you will be feeling. I never forget my dogs they mean so much.
I am sending a dove to heaven, with a parcel on his wings. Be careful when you open it, its full of beautiful things. Inside are a million kisses, wrapped up in a million hugs. To say how much I miss you, and to send you all my love. I hold you close into my heart and there you will remain. To walk with me throughout my life, until we meet again.
Thinking of you. Run free Dexter sweetheart.
