The owners of Harry have been in touch to say a few words about his life.
We should have written this letter sometime ago, but it was too difficult and upsetting.
Harry Loyez, our beloved dog and friend passed away on the 20th of July 2017.
He was a good companion to Poppy, our Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and they both enjoyed each other’s company on our daily walks around the fields and orchards near our home.
Later on in life, he was not as attentive as normal and we realised that he had become deaf. The vet confirmed that it was old age and nothing could be done about it. We Learned how to communicate with a little sign language.
A couple of years ago, he had a stroke and then whilst we were on holiday in Portugal he had another. Friends were looking after him and on our return, we decided to stay in the UK for future holidays.
He enjoyed going to Cheshire, Norfolk and Yorkshire with us but is health started to deteriorate, earlier this year. He was diagnosed with Kidney disease level 2. We gave him medication to help but he was losing a lot of weight and getting very weak.
After various discussions with our vet, we made the sad decision to have him put to sleep at home in his bed.
We also had to have Poppy put to sleep in July 2016. We miss both of them terribly. We have them here, along with Barney, our first every dog
