Finally got round to framing and hanging that lovely sketch of @VinnieRpd that my Mrs got for her birthday last year. Looks good under his canvas print. – at Poole, England

Stupidly tweeted on here instead of on @rpdrebel's twitter earlier. Many apologies. Although we did take Vinnie on the same walk we did today in Snowdonia around 2 years ago... here's pic of him from that day. Happy memories 💜

Sad news. 1/3 Today Vinnie went peacefully surrounded by those he loved. He could no longer move much unaided, even reaching his water bowl next to him was a struggle. His front legs were getting weaker, and he was struggling in his wheelchair, not really enjoying his walks.

2/3 Also his bladder had stopped working and his bowels were deteriorating too. It was like he kept going to make us happy and it just wasn't fair to ask that of him any more.

3/3 He was a truly brilliant dog, putting in a great shift as both a police dog and our much loved family pet. He’ll always be missed. If you’d like to support other dogs like Vinnie, please make a donation to @PawsomePensions in his memory.

It's true, there's a young lad moving in tomorrow. Reckon he'll do alright here... I did 😉 – at Poole, England

This is Rebel. He's got a bad back (spondylosis) and he can't be a police dog anymore, so he's coming to live with me, @jamharf22 and @VinnieRpd tomorrow. Can't wait for him to move in. You'll be able to follow his retirement at @rpdrebel 🙂
