RIP beautiful Bo

Subject: RIP beautiful Bo Wed Mar 10, 2010 3:08 pm

I have had a horrible day at work today. My mate Steve has 2 black cocker spaniel sisters Bo and Ellie who are 2 weeks older than Marley.

Steve became concerned about Bo's breathing on Wednesday last week and rang the vet, the vet listened to her heart and was concerned so sent her for an ECG and the results of the ECG were faxed to a specialist in the USA

Over the weekend Steve had Bo to the vets twice as she really wasnt very well, On Monday the results came back from the specialist and Steve was told they werent as bad as the vet first thought but Emily the vet wanted Steve to take Bo in this morning for blood tests and an xray of her heart so they could assess what medication to give her.

at 11.30 this morning Steve was in my office and his personal mobile went off, he said that will be the vet telling me I can go and pick her up.........it was the vet but she was telling Steve that Bo'd had a massive cardiac arrest and died, her heart was so enlarged she wouldnt have lasted more than 2 weeks, she was only 2 and a half

Steve just collapsed to the floor, he isnt married he doesnt have a partner his dogs are his world, I just held him as he sobbed and I sobbed too

RIP Bo you were a beautiful loving faithful girl who will be very sadly missed.

Run Free little one RIP beautiful Bo 551236

A 'SPECIAL PLACE'

You have a special place Dear Lord
that I know you'll always keep
A special place reserved for dogs
when they quietly fall asleep
With large and airy kennels
and a yard for hiding bones
With maybe a little babbling creek
that chatters over stones.
With wide green fields and flowers
for those who never knew
about running freely under
Your sky of perfect blue.
Lord,I know You keep this Special Place
And so to you I Pray,
For one Special Little Spaniel
Who quietly died today
She was full of strength & love
and so very, very wise.
The puppy look she once had
Has now left her eyes.
She is dearly missed my Lord
By a very good friend of mine.
She went to join her ancestors
To Your land that is Devine
So, speak to Bo softly please
And give her a warm hello.
She's a Special gift to you Dear Lord
From Steve, who loved her so.
