Brandiandwe Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I've not been here for far too long, and I'll post about that soon, but Benny has had some sort of degenerative muscle wastage. The process has become too aggressive for treatment and we have made the hard decision to send him home before it gets too bad, and we lose completely the spunky, fabulous hound we know and adore. Benny is getting his wings tomorrow (Friday) morning. Please contact your bridge angels and ask them to prepare for a cheeky, handsome and affectionate new member and show him the ropes till I get there to see him again. Won't post again till after, but any kind thoughts would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundrop Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Oh no, I'm so sorry. We've had to say goodbye to 4 now, and had to make that tough call for 3 of them. I know it's so much harder when you still see some sparkle left in them, I'm just so sorry. I hope his passing is peaceful and uneventful. I've notified my 4 to be on the lookout for him.
