Our Precious Bobbee

It is with deep sadness and a flow of tears that I bring you an update on Bobbee.

After being home a couple of weeks, following all the vets instructions and doing really well, Bobbee became very sick again, and was rushed back into animal hospital.

He was in for 3 more days, and appeared to be getting well, then I received a call from the vet to say that Bobbee has taken a turn for worse and that they thought he wouldn’t make it.

I immediately went down to visit him and to see the vet and discuss his case. Bobbee our Precious, Precious boy was dying.  He was in so much pain, even with medication, when I saw him, I knew it was time to show my boy the ultimate in love.  You know he tried so much to get up and greet me, but his strength was not there.  I cradled him in my arms and told him how much we loved him, how much he meant to us, and thanked him for being part of our lives.  He licked my face, I kissed him, nodded to the vet and sang to him, looking into his eyes as he quietly drifted off over the Rainbow Bridge to join Winston and Amydog (Other dogs we have had in our lives) and wait for us.

I came across this poem, which I would like to dedicate to Bobbee, written by Jan Cooper … …

Heaven’s Doggy Door -

My best friend closed his eyes last night,
As his head was in my hand.
The Doctors said he was in pain,
And it was hard for him to stand.

The thoughts that scurried through my head,
As I cradled him in my arms.
Were of his younger, puppy years,
And OH…his many charms.

Today, there was no gentle nudge
With an intense “I love you gaze”,
Only a heart thats filled with tears
Remembering our joy filled days.

But an Angel just appeared to me,
And he said, “You should cry no more,
GOD also loves our canine friends,
HE’s installed a ‘doggy-door”!

Rest In Peace Bobbee you have received your wings.

Bobbee received his wings on the 12th July

Until next time

Our Precious Bobbee

Bobbee is a very special little dog, he came to us fearful to even breath due to very bad abuse. I am sure he lived in fear every second he was with his previous owners. (His Previous owner ended up with 6 months behind bars! A very successful prosecution – thank you god!))

He had 65 cigarette burns to his little skinny body, was thrown from a moving car onto a busy highway. Luckily a guy in a car behind the one Bobbee was travelling in saw what was happening, got his wife to take the number plate of the car down, swerved and didn’t hit him and stopped and picked his badly bruised little body up and took him to the nearest animal shelter. Luck was on Bobbee’s side.

More luck was on his side, as my niece was an animal carer volunteer at the time, and saw this dear little dog, and spoke to the vet at the shelter immediately and said “his prognosis?”

One thing that my family love are scones especially my elderly parents, whom I help care for. My Dad bless him has aged onset diabetes, plus as many of you know my husband is also a diabetes sufferer.

Today I want to share with you my 100% healthy diabetic scones.

Now these scones are so delicious, that my friends ask that I make them so their kiddies can take them for school lunches, plus my son and daughter order 1 dozen each when they come to visit (they take away what they call Mum’s Care packages – consisting of homemade, bread, scones and muffins as these freeze so well!) and guess what – they are not even diabetic!
