    Some of you may remember my very elderly friend Morna who sadly passed away earlier this year, Morna had a lovely Lab called Dora that I helped her to rescue, Morna loved her girl and she brought a whole
    new meaning to her life. Her so called "friend" took Dora without notifying me as I was responsible for Dora or conscent from the Labrador Rescue, he kept her in appalling conditions so I removed her for June a few days before Christmas, it was one of the mose upsetting things I have ever had to do :'( I met up with June from the Labrador Rescue who was taking Dora to her lovely new home where she spent a wonderful 8 months with her loving new owner and 2 other older dogs for company.

    I have kept in touch with June to hear all Dora's news, I received lovely photos/videos of Dora, seeing her so happy on the beach, even swimming in the river, going for lovely country walks with her friends but unfortunately over the last few weeks her health deteriorated and today her owner had to make the heartbreaking decision to let her go :'( :'(

    I am so upset, Dora was the sweetest old girl and I am so happy I had the pleasure of knowing her and taking her for walks with Hattie.

    Rest in Peace beautiful Dora xxxxxx :'( :'( :'(

    So sad when they leave. :'(

    Heart warming that she was loved and comfortable in her final months though - well done you. :)

    I am sorry to read of Dora's death and can imagine how upset you feel as you have lost Morna and now her beloved dog. However, it must be comforting to know that you enabled Dora to have a very happy 8 months. x

    Very sorry Helen. But you made sure her last months were happy and comfortable - you should be very proud of yourself for that.
