RIP Rupert, safe and sound at the Bridge by now xx

Remember Our Love

I was chosen that day
I'm learning to fly
the world took me away,
but please don't you cry

And I chose you today
to try and be strong
so please don't you cry
and don't say that I'm gone

When you're feeling alone
just remember our love,
I'm up near the stars
looking down from above.

Remember our love
In a moment you'll see
that I'm still here beside you
when you're thinking of me.

Heya everyone, wanted to note Rupert's passing yesterday

He reached a magnificent 10 and a half, but last night he passed away peacefully just before 9pm

His breathing had been laboured for a few days, and the vets said it was his heart giving up, as so often happens with these big guys.

RIP Rupes you big old softy, go find Alex up on the Bridge xxx

Poor Rupes

Reminds of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLB9QUgLl98 - poor doggy

Ha they had to keep doing that to Rupes as well, especially when we were munching tea and cake and he wasn't allowed any

Mark · « **Reply #12 on:** August 31, 2009, 11:05:32 AM »

There were a couple in the vets last week and he was wiping his dog's mouth with a tissue. It set my teeth on edge

Gorgeous dog but drooly mouths make me

Me too

my clothes went straight in the wash when I got home as my arm got well and truly slobbered on with foamy drooly stuff

Thanks everyone, I'll pass on all your lovely comments, J's Mum will burst with pride! Her dogs mean so much to her, and having lost one of their oldies last year, they absolutely dote on Rupes

Apparently Harlequins do have a reputation for being a bit nuts, and for being pretty big too, so I'm told

Judecat (Paula) · « **Reply #8 on:** August 30, 2009, 22:46:40 PM »

Maybe it is Harlequin Danes! We have a ginormous one that walks down our main road. He is mega skinny though, he has just been rescued at 2 years. 9 years is so good for a Dane, most of the Danes that I have met are lucky to reach 7. They must be doing summatt right.

Oh wow! He's Poots doggie equivalent!

He's lovely!

LOVE Great Danes - he's gorgeous!

Janeyk · « **Reply #3 on:** August 30, 2009, 08:33:06 AM »

he's lovely Clare! and the ones I've met have always seemed very gentle.

I remember when we adopted our very first cat Penny, she was only a kitten and her siblings had all found homes so we chose her but she had latched on to the fosterer's great dane, bless her and he was a big softy too but she was so tiny at the side of him.

Oh I do like great danes - and they don't all drool (well, not much, though the back seat of the car can get rather damp). Nine is a very good age for a Dane - and he still looks remarkably fit and healthy! They have done a great job with him indeed.
