Gentle Ben (Oldies Club sponsor dog)
9 February 2012 ~ We are very sad to have to let you know that Ben had to be put to sleep this morning. He was very poorly and the vet agreed it was the kindest and right thing to do for him. Ben’s lovely foster family are devastated, but very glad to have been able to foster him for Oldies Club. We are very grateful to them for taking such great care of Ben for us and our thoughts are with them. Sleep tight Gentle Ben.

Curly Blue – Rapunzel Rottie (Oldies Club, fostered Plymouth)
18/2/12 We are extremely sad to report that after a short period of serious illness, Blue has sadly passed away. He had tests and scans that were inconclusive but the vet was certain that Blue had a hard to detect form of cancer. This news is especially devastating as Blue had recently had a wonderful home offer and we were all looking forward to him finally going to a permanent home. Our thoughts are with his adopter-to-be and, of course, with his wonderful foster family who loved Blue so very much and would have kept him if only their garden had been easier for Blue to manage. Sleep tight Curly Blue – we will never forget you, special boy. :(

Tiny Tilly (Oldies Club, fostered Bath)
