This is the photo I have had as a background on my computer for years and is the way I will remember him - curious but gentle.
RIP old feller:
We had a good six years together and his age of 14 was a good one for a Lurcher.

A Sad End to the Weekend
I have just come back from the vets where I said goodbye to Bobby. He had become very ill towards the end of last week and with all his ailments looked as though he had given up the struggle to live. On the recommendation of the vet he was peacefully let go while I stroked his head.

So sorry to hear the sad news John.
ReplyDeleteOh John, I am so very, very sorry. I never met him of course but always thought of him as a dear and gentle soul. I am thinking of you...
ReplyDeleteAhhh, John, I am so sorry. Words fail. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI am very sorry to hear that John. A dog is one of the family and the loss of one feels like that. Some years ago now we had a black Cocker Spaniel and he had a severe heart condition which meant we had to make that decision. Its a dreadful time to go through, but it has to be done for the good of your dog, as one does not want to think of them suffering.
ReplyDeleteI do sympathize with you over the loss of Bobby. It's never easy to lose a loved pet. It's good that you have so many great memories of him - and photos as well.
ReplyDeleteReally sorry to hear your sad news John.
ReplyDeleteHello John, your walks and encounters with Bobby have been a large part of your blog. I can understand completely that blogging will be very hard to do just now. The photo here and on your desktop is the one I would remember of him too.
ReplyDeleteYou and Bobby have enjoyed six years together, I’m pretty sure he’s had a good dog’s life living with you. It’s always so sad when you can’t save a sick animal. Thinking of you.
I'm so sorry John. My thoughts are with you. What a sweet boy, I was so happy to have met him the other week. Rest in Peace Bobby.
ReplyDeletePoor John, we are so very sorry. We feel your heart is very heavy but at least poor Bobby is no longer feeling any pain ...
ReplyDeleteHello John, I'm so sorry to read your sad news, Ive just had a couple of days away from the laptop and have just caught up, I did wonder during that time how we was getting on. I hope you're doing OK. Although I never met him I did enjoy reading about his gentle ways. Best wishes,Linda
