Heidi, my heart brakes for you and I can't imagine the pain that you are going through. It sounds like you gave Rufus the best 8 months of his life and I hope that in time your pain eases. I am glad that you now know what happened to your gorgeaous boy and are not still wondering although just wish the outcome was very different. Love to you all. xxxLast edited: 2010-05-11 02:17:18
Rufus
thank you so much for all the messages you have sent to us, we are heartbroken and cant believe it, we went to see him yesterday at our vets and he looked so peaceful, just like he was asleep, he still had his stick in his mouth when he was removed, he was still playing right to the end.  we have been back today to where we found him and placed a beautiful colourful wreath there, he was such a colourful character, and we miss him terribly and always will but im sure in time we will find peace - we would like to say a very special thank you to Wicked Weims for you constant and loving support xxxxLast edited: 2010-05-11 02:17:18

I am so very sad to hear this tragic outcome for Rufus and my thoughts are with you at such an awful time. Kate( Wicked Weims) has told me how very hard you were trying to find your gorgeous boy and how much she wanted you to find him and I can only begin to imagine how you must be feeling. In time try to remember the happy times you spent with him and the love you gave each other and this will stay in your memory forever. Run free over Rainbow Bridge beautiful boy xxx PamLast edited: 2010-05-11 02:17:18

This is truly the saddest news we all didnt want to hear. My heart goes out to Rufus' family, and of course to Wicked Weims, no one could have tried harder here. At least you have closure, and he has come home, better than never knowing, though it probably wont seem so at the moment. My thoughts are with you all XXLast edited: 2010-05-11 02:17:18

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me ?
When tomorrow starts without me and I'm not there to see;
The sun will rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today,
Remembering how I'd lay my head, In your lap that special way.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you.
And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name, and petted me with her hand.
She said my place was ready in Heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But, as I turned to heel away, a tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I never thought, that I would have to die.
I had so much to live for, so many sits and downs to do,
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.
I thought about our lives together, I know you must be sad,
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
Remember how I'd nudge your hand, and poke you with my nose?
The frisbee I would gladly chase, the bad guy, I'd "bark and hold".
If I could relive yesterday, just even for awhile,
I'd wag my tail and kiss you, just so I could see you smile.
But then I fully realized, that this could never be;
For emptiness and memories, will take the place of me.
And when I thought of treats and toys, I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you and when I did, my dog-heart filled with sorrow.
But then I walked through Heaven's gate, and felt so much at home;
As God looked down and smiled at me, from His beautiful golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity, And now we welcome you,
Today your life on earth is past, But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last;
For you see, each day?s the same day, there's no longing for the past.
Now you have been so faithful, so trusting, loyal and true;
Though there were times you did things, you knew you shouldn't do.
But good dogs are forgiven, and now at last you're free;
So won't you sit here by my side, and wait right here with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart.
For every time you think of me, I'm right there, in your heart.

As this is on the borders of 3 Counties, owner needs to contact Herefordshire and Worcestershire Council's dog wardens and also the Hereford and Worcester Rescue Centre where stray dogs are taken. Have put poster in my vet in WestHerefordshire but someone needs to do South Herefordshrie and the Forest of Dean areas.Last edited: 2010-05-11 02:17:18

Is he a timid chap or would he be easy to catch by someone? Have you had any sightings at all?
