Rainbow Bridge

On our daily walks we meet a lovely little gang of three. 14yr old Roger the bernese mountain dog mix, 8yr old Rose the who-knows-what-but-she's beautiful-mix, and greedy Puds the 4yr old Great Dane.

Sadly yesterday Roger wasn't on his usual walk. Deep down I knew why before I even asked - the heat from the day before had brought on a fit, which resulted in a stroke and paralysis in his entire body except for one front leg. His owner made the sad decision to say Goodbye.

I can't imagine how sad his owner must be feeling after the loss of his trusty friend. He'd often tell us stories of Roger's naughty ways as a pup and Roger himself would stand there with a mischevious grin on his face as if remembering the good ol' days! He was a total sweetheart, he had a wag for everyone he met and everyone who met him couldn't help but walk away with a smile. I'm happy to know that my four boys have all had the pleasure of knowing him from puppies, he was a wonderful role model for any puppy and had the patience of a Saint, even when they did want to dangle from his ears.

Run free Roger, and keep your eye on those pesky squirrels xxx
