HEARTBREAKING NEWS HEARING ABOUT CONAN’S SUDDEN DEPARTURE (2.10.08)

Conan died on the evening of 2nd October. He had two massive seizures and didn’t recover. Helen was in shock and totally heartbroken. His time with her was all too short but he was extremely happy there.

We have a secret, you and I,
That no one else shall know,
For who, but I can see you lie,
Each night, in fireglow?
And who but I can reach my hand
Before we go to bed,
And feel the living warmth of you
And touch your silken head?
And only I walk woodland paths,
And see, ahead of me,
Your body racing with the wind,
So young again, and free.
And only I can see you swim
In every brook I pass.
And, when I call, no one but I
Can see the bending grass.

HISTORY

Conan is an English dog whose young owner was going off to College in 2008 and there would be no-one to look after him. She was totally distraught at having to leave him as Conan had always been very much loved. He was adopted by Helen, the proud owner of recently adopted Bunny.

CONAN IN HIS FOREVER HOME

Helen said “Conan has settled into our routine very, very well! I’ve never seen a dog relax so quickly. We are very laid back here, the dogs have the full run of the house and the front and back doors are open all day so they can go in the garden whenever they please.

He loves having three walks a day, at lunch time we always walk in a shaded wood where it’s nice and cool with a stream they can go in and he loves the water!!

He walks brilliantly on a lead and has been friendly to all the dogs we’ve met whilst out walking, even a one-year-old Labrador who was very boisterous!

He adores all the dog toys especially the squeaky ones, he makes me laugh. Everyone thinks he’s younger than he is, as he has more energy than my other two dogs, Bunny and Sam.

He is such a gentle character, loves lying next to you, and he has fitted in with my other two dogs perfectly. I have three beautiful babies now! Aren’t I lucky!

So a huge thank you to the Irish Retriever Rescue without whom I would not have the Handsome Conan, and the very pretty Bunny!”

CONAN’S TIME WITH HELEN WAS ALL TOO SHORT

Sadly, Conan was suddenly taken to Rainbow Bridge
