Winston Wright
October 1991 - June 1998
What a dog he was! We adopted him from the bulldog rescue league in October
of 1993 - just six months after we were married. Sort of a wedding present
to ourselves. He was two years old when he entered our life and made our
new house a home. It was a slow process to make him understand that life
was not meant to be lived unhappily. After almost a year of encouragement
and reassurance, we taught Winston what love was - it was quite apparant
that he never experienced love prior to our adopting him. Abuse was
definitely in his past and our main objective was to help him forget it and
begin a new life with us. He brought joy and life to every day.
In February 1998 he began to have siezures and was eventually diagnosed with
a brain tumor in June 1998. We had to make the most difficult decision in
our lives to let Winston go before he was more uncomfortable than he already
was.
He will be sadly missed. Just writing about him brings me to an emotional
breakdown of tears. Seven months have passed - and seven years will pass -
and he will always hold a special place in our hearts. We have brought two
new wonderful bulldogs into our home and they have brought a new joy to our
lives. A simple crafty item I purchased a few years back holds so much
meaning, as it states "No home is complete, without the pitter patter of
doggie feet".
We love you little Winnie Poey Shmoey. Hope doggie heaven has been good to
you. We gave you the best life we could... Rest in Peace!
