Vale "Sally", the original bench dog

After fifteen long years Sally the loving Labrador has passed peacefully. She had arthritis, gait problems, bowels issues and a host of other things but still struggled up to say 'hello' when I came in the room; it got to the point where it hurt to put her through that so today we went to the vet.

I know a lot of you became familiar with her through my workbench thread, as soon as the camera was out she found a way to be in front of it, I never really understood why.

My plan is to have her cremated and I will make a little box for her out of the same Jarrah used for the bench.

Sad day, farewell old mate *sigh*

Our thoughts are with you, Greg.
They are always so loyal and leave a large hole in your life when they go.

Sad time.

Hi,
Remember the good times you both had. It is a hard decision in the end and how long to let things go go on when you know you are going to make the trip but is a lot less painful for all concerned than just letting it go on until they drop.
All my sympathy

Sad time
My commiserations to you and family

Sad to hear about Sally. It's a tough time. Kel

my commiserations

my thoughts are with you and family, I too have lost some great mates over the years. time lost but not the memories

So sad. Such a loyal dog. Maybe you could make a little draw that slides into the bench somehow. Then she would still be the bench dog. :)

Godspeed Sally...

Sad when we lose a family member...

Sorry to hear of this Greg, she was a great dog, always ready to greet you with a wag and loved a pat whenever I visited.

She'll be missed, my Sally says woof.

Bugger.

Thank you all for your comments, I appreciate them.

I spoke to my daughter and we have decided that we are going to make another workbench, this one will be a miniature and will hold Sally's ashes. I'll use some perspex to contain the interior - it seems a fitting tribute to her.

Sorry to hear that Sally has crossed the rainbow bridge Greg, may she rest in peace. 15 years is a great innings and I am sure you will miss her.

Sorry to hear that mate.

Bit late Groggy I've not been around for some time and catching up but commiserations a sad time indeed.

Mike
