Rozzie Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) My beautiful Belgian boy is gone. He was 11. He was adopted from the RSPCA at 10 months old. He'd been picked up by them as a 4 month old with his collar embedded in his neck We met the vet who saved him and he said they tossed a coin to either operate or PTS. I'm glad they took the chance and operated. He always carried the scar of his ordeal with a deep ridge in his neck. Mandrake loved people. The electricity reader was one of his best friends. Visitors had to endure the great hairy lump trying to insinuate himself onto their laps. He was a gentle big fella. Beautiful temperament, always a waggy tail. He saw me through a lot of heartache, now he's left me with a new one. He could be a pain in the bum and I sometimes wondered if he had a brain to bless himself with. He was always full of surprises. I took him to an obedience trial when he was 9 and he won the beginners section despite never having been to a class. He was terrified of thunder and chickens. He was my mate. He was my dog. Rest easy Mandrake. edit t fix my phone mistakes Edited January 17, 2012 by Rozzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
