We all had some sad news this week, but at the same time it is heart warming, everyone involved with BIN would like to Thank Alison and Darron for helping out a man and his dog in his hour of need. Alisons words tell it all, I know Buck will be happy with Alison and George will rest in peace knowing that you are there for him.
We have lost a special friend in George - a man who was not only devoted to his beloved Buck but who dearly loved Bull Terrirers. He was a lovely man - and we shall miss him dearly. George had always wanted a Bullie, but unfortunately had to wait until his twilight years and when living alone before he was able to get one. George studied the breed and travelled from London to Yorkshire for his puppy, - one of the puppies chose George - but this puppy had a problem - the breeder was honest with George telling him that the pup had a deformity in one of his legs (due to the mother being given too much calcium whilst carrying the puppies), and said as long as he gave Buck a good home he could take him free of charge. George travelled back to London with the 6½ week puppy tucked into his jacket, and gave him all the love and devotion that you could wish for - he spoilt him rotten! Thankfully George found Homeopathy and after 3 years of failed medication the homeopathic remedies prescribed not only improved his leg considerably they began to heal the skin troubles that he had suffered following his first vaccination booster.It was at Di's funeral last year that Lisa told me about George - and I offered to go and visit him. George was terribly concerned that if he went into hospital or become unable to care for Buck that he would be taken away and destroyed. Thankfully through his homeopath and the Bull Terrier Monthly he had heard about BIN and when he spoke with Lisa she was able to assure him that Buck would be cared for. I visited George last January and our friendship soon grew, we would often chat on the phone and on the few occassions when George had to spend the day in hospital I sat with Buck in his home; on other occassions when he was in for longer periods Buck came to stay with us. In November we thought Buck was coming to stay for another of his holiday's but sadly George didn't seem to recover from the minor op. he had, and two weeks ago he collapsed at home and was rushed into hospital. We soon learned how ill he was, and reassured George that we would care for Buck. Our request was granted when last Tuesday the Macmillan Nurse contacted us and said she had arranged for us to sneak Buck into the Cardiac Ward of the hospital (you can imagine the looks we got as we marched through the hospital!) we were lucky to be able to stay with George for 5 hours - allowing George some quality time with his 'Best Mate'. He was transferred to a Hospice on Wedesday where sadly his condition deteriorated fairly rapidly, his family contacted us and asked us to visit with Buck again, and on Friday evening Buck got on the bed with George so that he could give him his final cuddles. We know how happy those visits from Buck made George, and feel content in the knowledge that he has gone to help Di look after all of those Bullies - yours and mine that have passed to the Bridge and are waiting for the day that we will meet again. Bless you George for all the love and care you showed your beloved Buck - we will look after him as we promised. May you walk in the sunshine with the gentle breeze tickling your face - I won't forget and can see your smile my friend! RIP from Alison and Darron xxx
We can all see why this gorgeous boy meant so much to George
