Farewell Muffet

[Buster's Mum]

Muffet was the best mate of a dear friend of mine and he was given his wings on Monday night.

Muffet was 11 years old and sitting in the local pound when my friend saw him and knew he could not leave him there. For the last 6 years they have been best friends and gone everywhere together but his favourite place was at the bottom of his owners bed where he would sleep every night.

Muffet was the most beautiful Maltese X Shih Tzu who was obviously treated right by his original owners because he was a well behaved and socialized little dog. In the years that I knew him I saw him meet many new dogs but never once heard him bark at any of them or be aggressive in any way. Muffet was the reason I got my dogs from pounds, I thought that if I got a dog half as nice as he was then I'd be very lucky.

On Monday night my friend's partner went to feed him and Muffet couldn't stand up. She rushed him straight to the vet and called his owner who raced home from work. The vet advised Muffet was now paralysed from the waist down and considering his other health problem it was kinder to give him his wings.

So whilst laying on his owners lap being kissed and cuddled, Muffet went to sleep for the last time. We haven't stopped crying since.

RIP little man

What a special little dog Muffet was....& how fortunate he was to find someone who loved him so much.

Bless his owner for making sure he would not suffer...or feel fear...so that he went to sleep forever in his very favourite place...his owner's lap.

Hugs to all Muffet's dear friends who are so sad today.

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts.

Yes Mjosa, Muffet was 17. My friend who owned him lives on his own and he has been lost for the last few days. Muffet absolutely adored his owner and he did have a good life with him, I guess you just always wish that they could live forever.
