Merlin (Russ)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hello Ina I logged on this morning and had to do a double take to try to believe what I was reading. This really is a very sad story and I am really truly truly sorry for all concerned in this. I think that you did the right thing for Merlin at this time, it really is heart breaking and I don't know how you are managing to cope with this. I send my best wishes to you.

Ina, I don't even know what to write.....how terrible for you to have to go through all of that but to ultimately have to lose your boy in that way is the most heart breaking of all.

I am so, so sad that it came to this sweet Merlin. Ina,I cannot even begin to imagine how it has been for you these past months and how hard it was to make the decision to let Merlin go yesterday, although at least the last thing he knew was that his loving and caring Mum was with him. We are thinking of you at this awful time & sending love and prayers . Sleep tight lovely boy, much love Michael & Angie xxx

l am finding it difficult to put my feelings into words. Such a tragic set of circumstances, and an impossible situation to be placed in. My heart really goes out to you. l know this will probably not be of much comfort at this sad time, but given the options...you made the decision that you felt was right for Merlin, and he went to Rainbow Bridge knowing how much you loved him and in your arms.l realise how terribly distressing it must have been for the other owner. but to seek retribution is unspeakable and will not bring their dog back. Compassion is a wonderful thing.....but you need to have a heart to feel it. Run Free beautiful boy...the angels will watch over you. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Words cant begin to explain my sadness for your loss. Why is it dogs are sentenced to death when they dont understand what they are doing is wrong but humans who know the difference get to live. We live in a very backwards world. Thinking of you all and Merlin has my cuddle tonight xxx

Hi Jemma. Some people foster just to give a dog a break from the kennels for a while.....others foster with a view to rehoming...but want to see how the dog will fit in with their family....and to assess their temperament, especially if they have other dogs. You can still register your interest though, although many foster parents do end up rehoming the dog. Give Ruth or Kate a call at the kennels if you are unsure. By August, their will be many new greys in kennels, so maybe one of them will catch your eye...and maybe your heart. X.
