Gone But Not Forgotten

ROCKET

Rocket GBNF

 

Dear all at CAESSR
We have just lost our wonderful family CAESSR cocker/cav dog Rocket .

We were his third owners yet had the joy of having him in our family for 14 1/2 years.

He was our first dog and you chose him for us, fostered him near our house, and rang us to say “ we have the perfect dog for you”.
Indeed he was, and we can’t express our thanks to you enough .

He has featured in the CAESSR calendar, much to our delight, and been at the centre of our family . He was also much loved by our local parkrun community, including children otherwise scared of dogs and adults who didn’t like them- except Rocket. He ran over 250 5k runs there.
Our children grew up with him and we all miss him dreadfully. But our hearts are full of gratitude for the wonderful memories he has given us, and to you for giving him to us.

One day, when we have moved house, we will plan to rehome another one, but meantime Rocket is in our hearts and we are so grateful to you.

With best wishes
Judy and Peter Bradley

BELLA

Bella GBNF

John,

 
We adopted Bella on 14/04/2018 when she was nearly 8 years old.
 
We had to have her put to sleep on Tuesday morning 20/05/25.  She had suffered a stroke the previous evening & it was kinder to let her go.  We are both heartbroken but she was just short of her 15th birthday.  The house is so empty.
 
I just looked you up on the website and there is a picture of her on the front page which was lovely to see.  She made it into the calendar quite a few times also.
 
Thank you very much for letting us adopt her we had a lovely life with her & I hope she had with us.
 
I would like to adopt again but I need to give myself some time first.
 
 
Kind regards
Anne Taylor

BUSTER

Buster GBNF 2

Dear Di and John

Some very sad news. Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to Buster on Saturday as he gained his angel wings. He lost all movement in his back, his legs and his bowels. He had a mass on his paw which the Vet thinks was a secondary cancer but we didn't want to put him through all the tests etc as he was already suffering, which the Vet agreed. I think we gave him the best 18 months we could and we loved him very, very much. Here’s some photos of his time with us. Thank you for letting us have that time with him.

We are devastated but have wonderful memories.

CHIP

Chip gbnf

Hi Ian

We adopted Chip (our loveable blue roan cocker spaniel) from you nearly 12 years ago.

I just wanted to let you know that sadly we had to let him go and be at peace last weekend as he had doggy dementia and his incontinence had really worsened. We had so many lovely years with him -he was always SO greedy and his food manners never improved with age!!

I don’t know whether you still have his previous owners details on file and want to let them know -but he had such a happy life with us and we will always be grateful that by giving him up his previous family gave us so many happy memories with him.


Thank you

Sue

BOSWELL

Boswell GBNF

Dear John,

Unfortunately Boswell passed away on 27th December 2024 but I just wanted to let you know what an incredible boy he was. He was ever present in our daughter’s life and helped grow her absolute adoration of dogs. Boswell was loved by so many people and he lived his last few years with spondylitis and had sporadic attacks of idiopathic vestibular disease for the last year of his life but dealt with it in his fantastic spaniel style.

Aside from being amazing he helped change my life by getting me into running. In 2017 I set a goal of running 500miles throughout the year with him and we managed it and raised £500 for CAESSR in the process.

He lived a fabulous life, playing with many of his dog pals in the park next to our house, and I just wanted to say a huge thank you to CAESSR helping us meet the most fantastic dog we could ever have imagined having and we will definitely be looking for a rescue dog as our next furry family member.

Many thanks Chris
