RIP Ozzy

I just wanted to tell you all that Darren's dog Ozzy died today..he is gutted and may not be around for a day or two...Ozzy had a long life he was 15 and he was much loved by all who met him...he stayed in the Midlands with Dave , Darrens dad for the last couple of years...this has been his home all his life and he loved his garden..a few weeks since I had the strong feeling that we were going to loose him soon...my brother and Prince his dog in this life , came to me one night..so this weekend we felt a sense of urgency to see him...I told Daz I felt his elderly dog was hanging on to life to see his master one last time..dont ask me why I just knew it..we had a hell of a time getting down there this weekend just gone but we made it..and in one respect it was nice to see the old guy one last time but on the other hand it was painfull to see him this way. I got up early Saturday morning and I was able to spend time with him on my own..I told him he could go when he was ready as my brother and Prince was coming to fetch him...he just looked me in the eyes and I knew at that moment his spirit had heard me...he was not in pain but the spark had gone from him he no longer reacted to doorbells and cats the way he had done and he was almost blind and deaf..but on the Sunday he seemed to come round a little and we were able to see a glimpse of the dog he once was he was wagging his tail a little and would come over to us to be fussed...Daz was hopefull..I knew it was the calm before the storm..today he gave up the fight to live and has just been burried now in front of the rockery...we will both miss this crazy old dog..who we know is now romping freely and without pain with other dogs at the rainbow bridge and we can only hope that one day we will see his lovely face again..Linda

RIP Ozzy
