William, Sparhawk Storm from the West

12th February 1999 – 28th February 2012

It is with a heart heavier than lead that we report the passing across the Rainbow Bridge of our brother William, today at 5pm.

He had been unwell for some time, but the Vets could not pinpoint or identify anything concrete. Therefore they struggled with a prognosis. Don’t get us wrong, he was on plenty of “sweeties” as She calls them : Denamarin for his Liver, Thyroid tablets, Bile tablets and apparently plenty of other things.

He became seriously unwell last Friday and since then had not really taken to eating at all. He was skin and bone by then, so with not being able to eat this week, he became more and more weak.

His Mama texted us last night with :

Thank you for such an amazing and handsome dog. He’s a star man.xxx

Gus is the surviving Scottie from this litter. Our beloved sister Kelpie crossed the Rainbow Bridge in June 2008; Tali our other sister (who lived in Ipswich) followed in October 2011 with William joining them today.

William’s Mama is a very good and dear friend of us and our Mama. They both sobbed yesterday when they realised that William’s time was close. It is unbearable this evening ….

Here’s only a few photos ….

We’ve been messing around with another photo-editor ‘cos we can’t get befunky.com to work for us at the moment. We’ve helped Her get them onto the computer so that we can share them with You. So here goes, this is the first, of many we hope. Enjoy!

Have a great weekend fur-ends. Yap! Yap!

Gus, me, I’m 13 today!

Woof! Woof! I’m a teenager today! She says its a special day, so I’ll let you know later just how special it was.

I also want to wish my litter brother William Happy Birthday too. Yup! he’s 13 as well. William and I are the last two left of a little of 4 born in to Izzy 1999. Our sister Kelpie (who lived with us) died in 2008 and our other sister who moved to Ipswich with her new family, died last October – a sad day as we remember them all very well.

But lets all remember the good times, not only of our immediate scottie family, but of all our friends who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Whoa! aren’t I being a philosopher – perhaps thats what happens when you reach 13!

Anyway, I’m going to wish myself (Gus) and my brother William the best of wishes today, and as woofed before, I’ll be remembering all our Scotties companions, near and far who are residing across the “Bridge”.

Hope you all have a woofly day!

PS: the card has been made by William’s Mama (She’s a very very good friend of our Mama, and we like Her alot!)
