It has been a sad week for Welfare.
On Tuesday Princess needed a vet check because she wasn't eating and continually straining to go to the toilet. Clearly, this caused her considerable distress. Sadly the vet agreed that there was something serious causing stomach problems and that at her age it wasn't fair to her to keep her suffering. He recommended euthanasia and heartbreaking as it always is we agreed. Princess joined us very recently and we can'#t help but wonder if this was why she'd been relinquished to us.
Then today, Shadow appeared as bright as a button all day. He went for a walk this afternoon and then an hour later he lay lifeless in his kennel. He was rushed to the vet but sadly was dead on arrival.
Princess was buried at Rose's and Shadow will be privately cremated and his ashes will be scattered in the field where he loved to play.
It always hits hard when we promise these dogs a new life and we don't get to fulfil our promise.
Our sincere thanks to Rose Greig and Lawrence John respectively for taking such good care of Princess and Shadow whilst in Welfare ❤
