HOMED: Toby - 15 yr old Yorkie - Blackpool

[pollypocket]

I love to look on Tobys page everyday, its great to see how he is getting on and i love the photos! I fell in love with Toby when i first saw him, he has found the perfect home with you and your family Sheana, FANTASTIC!!! xxx

Ren is OK with Toby (he won't go near either of them since she belted him haha).

[angel0404]

Stimpy is taking a little longer to come out of his hiding places!

[angel0404]

But we're getting there!

[angel0404]

So for being a good boy I took him for a sunny walk on the beach (Better than the last beach photo. Grab the weather while you can!)

Love the kitchen photo. I can just imagine them doing the sideways look, pretending not to notice each other, whilst keeping a safe distance. Brilliant! XX

[angel0404]

Finally all three will now eat together!

[angel0404]

Well the cat lies on the table, why can't I?... It's hot out here!

[angel0404]

When I said I needed to cool down with some water... I meant to drink!

[Girlytrude]

For anyone who missed the news, Toby found a fantastic home, not too far from Debs and is enjoying being treated like the special gent he is. Catch up with his news here:

How is this brave wee man doing? He's gone through so much I could never have given him up after having him all that time, I am so shocked! Bless you little one, hope you recover soon. You would always be welcome here - xxxx

If you look at the post above yours, there is a highlighted link that will give you the latest on Toby, along with some lovely photos taken by his new mum!

Hi I cant begin to say how happy I feel knowing that Toby has a loving and happy rest of his life
WELL DONE DEBS and to his new owners

[angel0404]

Well that's just RUDE Toby! LOL.

[angel0404]

OK so Toby IS spoiled but it was a chilly day!  A game of peek-a-boo helps to warm him up! LOL.

[pollypocket]

Bless little Toby,he deserves to be spoilt,and he has the perfect family to make sure he is spoilt!! Im so glad hes doing so well, lots of hugs to you all!!! x

[angel0404]

It's taken a few months but finally all three pets will sit together (Toby is still wary of the cats though).  I have no need for hot water bottles anymore! (Funny panoramic photo).

Wow! That's amazing considering what they were all like when he arrived at the end of June.

[angel0404]

Toby still will snap if he is resting on my lap and the cats suddenly jump up and scare him but generally there is harmony! LOL.

[angel0404]

Are you going to be long Mummy?  I want to go wee wees too!

[angel0404]

Thank goodness for the weekend.  Daddy's home!

Hi everyone

I just wanted to show you a photo book I had created, this one is all about my pets, Toby is included (the other dog in the book is the one I lost in May, Banjo.  I still have the cats, Ren and Stimpy, as you know.  The other pets in the book are past pets).

Just in case anyone else fancied doing this too, this is the website and link to my book.

Cheers.

Sheana

Thanks for sharing that, Sheana. Enjoyed looking through it.

[Girlytrude]

What a lovely idea! I rather fell in love with Banjo XX

Hi everyone



It's been about two years since I updated this thread and for that I apologise. I am sad to say that this will be my final post about Toby. At the grand old age of 17 we had to have Toby put to sleep yesterday. He had been having some breathing difficulties and we had several visits to the vet, lots of medication, which he was responding to but then over the weekend he stopped eating (I couldn't get his medicine into him then). I spent Sunday night sleeping on the kitchen floor, steaming the room out for him and by morning I realised he had had enough and just wanted to rest his weary head.



Toby has been an absolute delight, a feisty little character when it came to other dogs (cats, duck, shopping trolleys lol) and a very loving companion. He slept most of the day and loved to snuggle on my knee. He didn't get on too well with the cats but they passed away last year (aged 19) and so he had me all to himself. I could spend all day telling you about my life with him but I will just say I am happy that he was mine, even for a short while. It must have broken the hearts of his previous owners to give him up.



I want to give special thanks to Deb for bringing him into our lives and for having him for his holibobs whenever we went on ours.



I have written a poem about him, which hopefully will encourage people to adopt an older dog (or any dog really).


Thanks for reading.

Love, hugs & snuggles.

I'm so very sorry to hear that your Golden Oldie Toby has had to have his 'Angel Wings' fitted. What a wonderful retirement he had with you, all the love you gave to him will guide him safely on his journey to Rainbow Bridge. Huggles for you.
Toby rest easy in the sunshine at The Bridge,
Love Jean xxx

I am sorry to hear the news about Toby.
He had a lovely life with you and seemed to be a lovely character .
Good night gorgeous Toby.
Thinking of you x

[mollymoo]

So sorry to hear about Toby x

Sending you a lot of healing thoughts but he had so much love and care from you and was happy.

Run free little man

[angel0404]

Thank you so much everyone. I knew our time together would be short but it was very sweet and Toby was happy with us and that's the best you can hope for. He was one of the lucky ones, he hadn't been mistreated in his former home, he wasn't in need of "repair", he came to us as a bundle of joy and love and just slept his days away. It's been our pleasure to call him our own. <3 x
