Farewell to Jed July 28, 2008
Posted by Jonny Mitchell in : Obituaries , trackback
Sadly, our Long-Term resident ‘Jed’ had to be put to sleep on Friday the 25th of July 2008. He had been suffering from internal problems for some time now. As they progressed, so his quality of life deteriorated, to the point whereby the kindest thing to do was release him from pain.
Jed had arrived at the Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary on the 6th of June, 1998. He was already a mature dog which would have put him in the region of 11 - 14 years of age.
He was a much loved character at the Sanctuary. No one will miss him more than his kennel partner, ‘Candy’: having been together for many years, the two were inseparable. They always took their walks together and shared treats. Like most elderly couples, they seemed to know exactly what the other was about to do.
We would like to offer our sympathy to all the loyal voluntary walkers who spent so much time with Jed, who grew to adore the gruff bark reserved for his feline neighbours, and his puppy-like behaviour when treats were forthcoming. He will be sadly missed by all the staff, residents and volunteers.
