OBITUARIES LENNY - Lakshmi Banner and Peter Reffell
Hi ,
We adopted Lenny from the Border Collie Trust in July 2010 , and heartbreakingly had to put him to sleep on the 25th April 2024 . I wanted to write a little about his life and we will also be donating some money in his memory .
Lenny came to us at 20 months old to join our border collie cross ( Jess ) who was around five at the time , and also from the Border Collie Trust . His notes say that he was an unwanted farm dog and thatt he was shy , wary when handled , with no interest in toys or treats . This very quickly changed as he learnt from Jess to develop a deep interest in toys , as well as swimming , running , climbing mountains , enjoying lots of fuss , and of course loving treats . He was incredibly well behaved and we trained him to walk through fields and not chase livestock or wildlife . He was sweet , funny , loving , enthusiastic and an amazing companion . We miss him so much .
We are so grateful to have been able to provide him with a happy and loving home for so many years and would like to pass our thanks on to you for allowing these dogs to have second chances .
Many thanks , Lakshmi Banner and Peter Reffell
LOLA - Jo and Andy Hunt
Hi , we have rehomed two beautiful dogs from BCTGB and I just wanted to let you know that sadly we had to say goodbye to our wonderful Lola this week , at the age of 14 and we are absolutely broken hearted .
When we adopted Lola from you in 2012 , she was called Nonagh , an unclaimed stray from Ireland . We have been so lucky to enjoy 12 fantastic years with Lola and have hopefully given her the best life we could - she certainly changed our lives for the better and we will miss her forever .
In 2018 we also welcomed another collie , McGregor , and he is doing really well , despite his difficult start in life , also in Ireland . He is however a little lost without Lola , so when we are ready we hope to be back in touch to give another dog as chance of a happy ending- thank you for all you do for these wonderful dogs
