Those of you who know us, I was Polaris but had to change my name to Woolley as the forum wouldn't let me in!
With deepest regret I have to say that Hazzie puppy (our Irish Wolfhound) was left to sleep under anaesthetic last Wednesday. He was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma and amputation was not a road we could go down as Hazzie was arthritic and had spondylosis and also lived to hunt. It meant a poor quality of life which was unacceptable.
To tell you about Hazzie would take us a lifetime
Our first Wolfhound, and to say he was a teacher of all things canine is not strictly true. He thought himself above most canines and therefore human.
He was tatty and a total swamp dog. He was exhausting and
stubborn beyond belief. Intelligent and independent to the point of snobbery. Comical, persistent and affectionate when it suited. A real champion of the underdog but hater of bullies. A companion of extreme expression and a defender of our lives against
hedgehogs!!!!( He would go nuts if he saw one!)
Never ill but always injured. A prolific hunter and this is what he lived for. A phenomenal exerciser finding sleep a necessity rather than pleasure. Lived life on the edge when he could escape the watchful eye of us, his neurotic owners.
A rogue, a king, an irreplaceable pain in the backside. There will never be another Hazzie puppy . He was our life.
If there is a Rainbow Bridge, he will be sat underneath it in the skanky water waiting for everybodys Pet furries to cross over ..with devilish intent rather like the Troll in the fairytales!
