Crying or Very sad I am heart broken to announce that my beautiful blind brave boy is no longer with us. I had to let him go the day before Christmas eve and I have been trying to stop crying long enough to post this so it's taken a while.

Many of you have followed Zonks' story from the Costa Rican beach where I rescued the blind and starving boy through is stint in quarantine to the joy of his release now to cruelly to his too short time with me.

I loved him a lifetime's worth and now there is a huge hole I cannot fill.

I am still in shock from it all but as far as the vet found Zonks had at one point a long time ago eaten gravel or rocks which he didn't pass and then calcified in his gut. These blocked the passage between his stomach and intestines which then on Friday/Saturday caused gas buildup and the stomach started to twist similar but not exactly bloat.

After discussing options which there really weren't any because he wouldn't have survived the operation (he had heart murmur and fluid in his lungs) - I had to make the horrible decision to say goodbye to my baby boy.

I miss him so much and xmas was terrible I cried every day.

I know it will take my awhile to get to a point where I can get through a day without breaking down but I know it will happen in time.

I did want to thank those of you who cheered Zonks on and provided so much fun, laughter and wisdom especially to Mary who sent me a photo tutorial I never had time to crack because I was busy spending time with Zonks Smile

Thanks and bless you all.

Run free my baby Zonks you are not blind anymore!

My goodness I am SO sorry - how terrible for you and Zonks. he sounds a brave fantastic dog who was lucky to meet you, and you him - even for a short time.

Look after yourself and please accept my heartfelt sympathies.

I am so so sorry to hear your news, I remember reading of Zonks when you first saved him. I am sure that the time spent with you and your family was the best time of his life.

Run free at the bridge Zonks, see the rabbits and go and chase them

I am so very desperately sorry for your loss. Words cannot help I know but sending you every sympathy.

Zonks lived his final golden months filled with love I hope you can when the shock lessens take comfort in that.

Run free Zonks you wonderful boy xxxxxxxxxxxxx
