[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

Who was sadly put to sleep last year

.....

I took this pic on his last walk ..... was about an hour before he was due to be put to sleep .

You can see it in his eyes that he had no life in him

Still missing you lots big paws

 

[comeon]

RIP Big Paws

 

[minmax]

Bless him. We had our GSD pts a few weeks ago. They leave such a gap when they go.x

 

[CorvusCorax]

RIP Shane

Looks like he was a lovely fella x

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

My mum still thinks his "spirit" is about the house

She videod foxy ( the new dog) staring at the window whilst he was sitting in the kitchen .

It shows him watching the window and listening and staring .

Shane bless him .... used to look in the kitchen window , the two big paws sitting on the window ledge

Watching the video .... you would seriously think there was something there .
I am abit of a sceptic , but would love to think he was about somewhere with his squeaky pink ball playing and free of pain .

Still remember to this day, Hubbie had bought him for me for our 1st "going out together" anniversary , He was the pup that ran under the old cupboard

...... Pointed to him and said to his breeders ... " I want that little devil "

...HAHA ... you should have heard the squeals of him when they dragged him out, he was always a big wimp bless him .
When it came to giving bloods for the vet he was as good as gold, always gave his paw up .

Just remembering that day .....

What saddened me and just ripped my heart out

was the day we had him put to sleep, he gave his paw up to the vet for his deadly injection

..... I think even the vet had a tear in her eye that day

.

Anyhoos .... The day we bought him as a pup......

We brought him home, down the glenshane (for those that don't know n.ireland, its the main road from belfast to derry)
He got his name from that road, Didn't like glen .... so it had to be shane

.
He fitted into a shoe box ...just about mind .
When he turned a year old .... would have been lucky if his paw alone fitted into the shoe box

.

We had him just 11 short years

..... (god going all teary eyed

)
Just over the last few days I have been really missing him, I don't know what it is

.

Sorry for the rambling on

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

Oh by the way CC if we see my mum on thursday .... Don't be surprised if she says b is lovely but not as nice as our shane

.

Ill just warn you now lol .

She did love that dog

 

[CorvusCorax]

We had a Glen

Oh I know, no dog will ever come near my old D

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

We had a glen who lived next door to us, He was a paranoid Schizophrenic

Really didn't want to name the dog after him

 

[GinaB]

He was a lovely looking boy Col

No wonder you all miss him so much

Windsor was PTS two and a half years ago and I still miss him like crazy

I adored him and for M, no other dog will come close.

It's weird though, he travelled a lot in my car and every now and again there is the smell of Windsor in my car, smells nothing like the other two dogs and it will just be the faintest hint of Windsor smell, even though my car has been cleaned loads since then!

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

Hate loosing animals .... Unfortunately thats life for you

.


How weird is that G ...

*raises glass*

To all the doggies in doggie heaven !

[MurphysMinder]

What a lovely lad, your story of him putting his paw up for the vet brought a tear to my eye.

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

MM ......It does that to me everytime I think of it

.


He was a one in a million

Aww - didn't expect to be crying on my commute to work this morning, I must not read posts like this.

I know the Glenshane as my in laws are from Derry, so before the Derry airport opened we would always fly into Belfast so up & down that road a lot back then.

It's so nice that our lost ones are still remembered and talked about though isn't it

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

It doesn't do much for me typing it out lol .

He will always be remembered

xx


Ahh small world ..... I live just 10 minutes away from the ponderosa just at the top of the glenshane .

Col xx

It is a small world - and Derry people seem to be everywhere in it!

Speaking of the window thing - just remembered my cousin's wee girl came into our house when she was about four and pointed at our hearthrug and said 'doggy's got a sore leg'.

She hadn't been in our house (when the dog was alive) since she was a little baby. The dog had died two years previously aged 14, she always used to lie on the rug and she had broken her leg when she was a puppy

there was NO way the child could have known.

 

[MurphysMinder]

That is spooky CC . I do like to think my oldies still have some sort of presence around the place though.

I'm sure they stay with us, my new puppy, who didn't meet the previous GSD, has started sleeping where Max used to, doing loads of little things that are the same and has me calling him by the wrong name all the time!

 

[Tinkerbee]

He was so handsome

He sounds like a fantastic dog.
