It is with heavy heart that I have to announce the passing of "Berty". He was returned to the kennel a few weeks ago and since then has been fighting a losing battle. Meds were no longer easing his pain. He passed away peacefully in my arms this morning at the clinic. He was loved and will be dearly missed by all of us here at the kennel. Rest in peace my big beautiful black friend. God speed Berty.

I'll sure miss you at turnout big boy. May you run free without pain, I know how you liked to gallop around. Many thanks Bill and Heather for being there for him everyday. He passed in a very loving and caring set of arms.

I don't read this thread very often as it upsets me so much but I wanted to say that Berty was such a sweet and loving boy, who I looked forward to seeing every day! Other than the limp you would never had guessed that he was going thru such an ordeal. His tail was always wagging and he always had a happy face. He will be sorely missed at the kennel, but I take comfort in knowing that he has gone to be with all his greyhound friends.
Godspeed Berty and thanks for the last few weeks..........I Love you:)

From the time I heard that Berty had been returned to the kennel, I had thought of him every day wondering how he was doing. I knew with Heather and Bill caring for him that he would be well looked after and loved. Godspeed Berty ... may you be happy once again with all the Bridge angels.

I feel blessed to have met Berty just last week. What a sweet boy. He couldn't have asked for more love than you and your volunteers gave him. He certainly was lucky.
Heartfelt hugs to all of you.
Run Free Sweet Berty.
