RIP Reginald

I received very sad news yesterday.  My foster dog Reginald has been living in Hobart with his wonderful new mum Sandra and was recently diagnosed with a collapsed trachea.  The damage was down low and had caused him a lot of distress in the past, but yesterday morning he got really bad and he had to be helped on his way.  I can't tell you how much I loved him and his big eyes.  He was a truly beautiful natured dog, and I'm trying really hard to be positive.

    I am sad too, Reginald was such a character, but I am glad he found a happy home at last. He will definitely be in Dog Heaven. Bye Reginald.

    It is always sad when we lose a loved one...my thoughts are with you. Our loved 14 year old cat has not got long I don't think, but we are holing onto hope that she is going to use yet another of her lives and survive this also.

    oh no.... i am crying as i type this farewell to Reginald... i am crying for his beautiful sad new parents who will miss him very much...for you who gave him unconditional love in abundance which taught him so much as well and gave him the confidence to trust again which gave him the ability to live his life free again.... and for Reginald who is now a peace in doggy heaven .....
