Goodby to our Beautiful Thorn
Thorn (Bergleerson Longfellow)
Ann and I are very sad to advise that on Wednesday 04 November we had to let our beloved fur baby Thorn go across the Rainbow Bridge.
He had been slowing down for a little while now and this past couple of weeks he had been really struggling to get up without assistance from Ann and me.
Both on Tuesday and yesterday he was not even bothering to get up when there was any food about… this was so unlike him - he was definitely one of those mutts that would always appear out of nowhere the moment he heard a sweet wrapper or a crisp packet being opened. Sometimes I thought that he was a Ninja Leo!
Originally we had planned to wait until the end of the week to see if there was any improvement - instead we could see in his eyes that he had truly had enough and we realised that it was time to let him go…
Thorn reached his 11th birthday in October - so far he is/was our oldest Leo that we have had the honour and privilege of owning
We’re already missing Thorn so very much - and like all those that we have lost before him he had such a wonderful character and was such a loving boy.
We’re especially missing his skipping about whenever he heard us coming downstairs every morning.
Rest easy over that Rainbow Bridge Thorn - you will never, ever be forgotten baby boy.
