Today we said a hard good bye to one of our best friends “Libby “and family member for 12 years.

To the many, many hundreds of customers who have been welcomed by her when arriving at Zedworld will know what a cool dog she was.

 

I understand that non dog/pet owners may consider the passing of a pet as less than important but to those who do and have lost mans best friend will understand how we all feel. and degree of loss.

 

Libby has not been well for the past 5 months having undergone major surgery to remove her spleen she had rallied back to almost full health again, until a few weeks ago she again fell ill, the vets gave us every indication they could give her some more pain free life albeit of unknown length.

 

Yesterday was a bizarre day with wall to wall sunshine, she spent the day running and chasing the ball barking and playing with our lab “Cassie” who Libby treated as her own puppy for the last 7 years, she really seemed invigorated and full of life even posing for a mass of pictures we took two of which are below.

 

After returning from an evening out at a restaurant with family (22 of us!!) we came back to a very different and clearly poorly Libby, what followed was a very long night spent on the floor with her until at 6:40 am she took her final breath and passed on, the whole family was awoken and joined us down stairs to say bye to her, truly devastating for us all from the youngest members at 14 to the oldie`s late 50s.

 

We will never forget our Libby and hope all of our customers who have enjoyed her company whilst waiting for their zed will agree she was super friend to us all.

 

Run Libby our friend and be free

 

Jeff, Lynda , Jamie and Cassie

Rainbow Bridge.

 

Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an

animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet

goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our

special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of

food, water and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable.

 

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and

vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong

again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times

gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small

thing: they each miss someone very special, someone who was left

behind.

 

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly

stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his

eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group,

flying over the green grass, faster and faster. You have been

spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling

together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses

rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and

you look once more into those trusting eyes, so long gone from your

life, but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...

Sorry about your loss Jeff. Its really sad when a pet dies as they really are one of the family :(

Very sorry to hear that Jeff - she was as much a part of Zedworld as you, Lynda and Jamie.

 

My thoughts and best wishes are with you all mate,

 

Richard & Julia:cry:

rest in peace Libby.

Really sorry to hear this Jeff. I grew up with a lovely german sheppard that looked alot like Libby, killed me when we lost her. Be happy that Libby had a good life and that you were lucky enough to be part of it.

Be happy that Libby had a good life and that you were lucky enough to be part of it.

 

Thats well put. Keep hold of those great memories :)

Really sad news. I can completely understand how heartbreaking this is given the problems I've had with my own dog and how close we have been to similar news.

Our thoughts are with you guys.

Rip libby

Sorry to hear the sad news Jeff, i know how it feels losing a much loved pet thats been in the family for many years, it is like losing a relative and is very gutting.

I hope you all manage to remember the good times with her and not dwell too much on her loss.

 

 

All the best

 

Graham
