gemini60 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Jessie (14) passed peacefully in my arms on monday at the vets Jessie came to us as a foster on 14th Feb 2006 along with her lifelong companion Sammie, they had spent 7 months in kennels waiting for their elderly gentleman owner to come out of hospital, sadly for them all he had to go into sheltered housing and couldn't take the girls. So he signed them over to Eileen (FOAS) in the hope that they could be re-homed, they came to us while they were waiting to see the vet for healthchecks, but they never left. The strain of months in kennels had taken it's toll on them both. Jessie was having fits and sammie was suffering from dementia, so they stayed with us. Sammie (then 14) passed away last september after suffering a series of strokes. Jessie continued to enjoy life with us as a companion to our poodle Robbie (now 13). She gradually had more trouble with her joints, despite painkillers and then she also showed demetia so the vet put her on vivitonin at Easter allowing her to enjoy her last trip to Kent with us. But as the weeks have gone by she has declined, she was telling us in her own way she had had enough, so we made the heartbreaking decision to allow her to join Sammie at the bridge. Both girls were such wonderful characters and will always be remembered by our family. Run free together now darlings we are very proud to have known you both. Pauline and Phil and Robbie and Diesel A very special thank you to Eileen for allowing us to foster the girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobean Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I'm so very sorry. It's so sad that the oldies can get stuck when their elderly owners become too ill to care for them. They are so easy to look after. Bless you for taking them both in and looking after them so well. Run free together sweethearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
