Noodles - 14 years, 6 months, 10 days

My super companion, Noodles has passed away.  Phil and Janet are sad beyond words.  They take solace in knowing Noodies had a great life and can now join Rockers in puppy dog heaven - land of never ending treats!

  On Tuesday, Janet took us down to Fireperson's Park for a little walk.  Down at the park, Noodies back end failed her four or five times and she fell over.  Within four hours, she couldn't walk at all.  Phil took her to the vet the next morning and she received a huge injection of hormones that would work (or not) within 24 hours.  It didn't work, which meant nothing further could be done.  Dr. Smith said she had a slipped disk.

On the right is the sling Phil used to ferry Noodies around.

She was a treasure!  Albeit, a mischievous, bordering on naughty treasure!

She had a real dumpy sit for two days.

One thing for sure - Noodles did not go out on an empty tummy.  On Wednesday - two breakfasts, two dinners and more cookies than could be counted.  Thursday morning, two more breakfasts and a sack of cookies to go!

And, all the buttery popcorn she wanted!

Back in the day, Noodles was a force to be reckoned with.  Whilst she had a legitimate hearing issue for the last 6 months or so, you would have thought she was born deaf - to the sound of your voice, but not the sound of the food bowl hitting the floor!

Several years ago, there was a Brownie meeting in the hall down at Fireperson's Park.  The door was open and Noodles burst into the room!  Brown Owl was not impressed and escorted Noodles off the premises!

Another time, the adults that live in this house on the bottom of Monteith, were sitting outside having a drink.  Their front door was also open and once again, Noodles invited herself in, ran through the house and came out again.

The same people still live in this house and had a doggie named Monty who passed away a few years ago.

Janet is always in awe how kind people can be.  Our great neighbours, Amber and Kris brought over some wine, flowers and a nice card.

Janet called to cancel her Thursday dining room shift because she was upset.  Today she worked at reception and was shocked at how many people knew about Noodles and wished Janet well.  Then, she received an electronic card today as well.

This makes me, Pashy, last dog standing from our original blog foursome.  Guess I will have to invite Watson, 40 pound dictator to join the party!
