💙❤️💙 FAREWELL MY FRIEND 💙❤️💙
Sadly, we have recently lost some of our long term regular dogs. After 12 years of visits, 2 of our dogs have relocated to the UK. They are very much missed, but we are happy to see them settled in their new home.
Around the same time, 2 of our regulars had to cross the rainbow bridge. Scooby was a dog I have walked for the last 4-5 years, 3 times a week. A kelpie/german shepherd X, he quickly captured my heart. At first we could play fetch at the park, but as he aged, we had to adjust his walks so he was not sore later from having too much fun.
He lived to the grand age of 16 and still enjoyed his walks right up until he left this world. There were a few scares along the way where it was thought his time was up. Like when he ate some rat poison, but he always pulled through like a cat with 9 lives.
He was a joy to walk and loved his treats and squeaky toys. He would also come out to supervise me p**p scooping his yard, just in case there were more treats on offer.
I have to remember he is no longer at home and not drive over to walk him on autopilot. I miss our time together and the way he would always look up at me as we walked as if to let me know how much he was enjoying it.
I am sure he is running at full speed again after that ball and with an endless supply of treats. Run free until we meet again Scooby Doo. 🩵
