In Memory Of Bandit

I never had the opportunity of meeting this wonderful dog named Bandit. I saw her pic on an OES rescue site and found out she lived aprox 40 mins from my home. I found myself looking at her picture . She was a straggly looking old girl of 12 in need of pallitive care. Should I take her on when I have a new pup and an old girl of 15 and another dog of 12 to look after? I made the call and found out this poor old girl had been left outside the majority of the time by her previous owners and had suffered from a lice infestation which had been treated and cured by the OES society in my area. I was supposed to meet this grand old lady on Saturday, which at the time of my call was 5 days away. Friday night one of my dogs was ill and I had to take them to the vet. I decided to mail the rescue society to delay meeting Bandit the following day.

Judi a wonderful lady from the rescue society called and informed me that the very day Bandit had suddenly taken a turn for the worst and had to be put down after all methods had been tried at the vet's office. Using her own money Judi had gone over and above the call of duty and tried to make Bandit's short time on earth a comfortable one.

I was saddened by the news of Bandit's passing, yet at the same time feel comfort that if not by some twist of fate I may have met and adopted her the very day of her passing. Nope, Bandit was in the home she had known for the last two months of her life where Judi loved and cared for her. She was where she was meant to be and although I had missed my chance in meeting her I'm glad I knew of her and that Judi looked after her so well the last months of her life.

Goodbye Bandit and may you be now racing around doggie heaven with not a care in the world and no more ills.Judi, you are truly a special person to have made this old girls last months happy ones. OES rescue people are truly a special breed!
