Some sad news that explains why the Empire shop was not open for a few days…
Edit: You really don’t realise how much something impacts another thing until it is gone. I have been seeing all over the Internet that Bonnie had love from everyone, and it brings a lot of people together in common ground. We need more Bonnie’s in BMX, it eliminates the hate and everyone has respect.
“Christmas ended on a low note for all of us here this year. out mascot and friend, Bonnie, passed away Thursday, December 27. Bonnie was recently diagnosed with liver cancer, and the disease quickly weakened her during her last few days. there wasn’t much hope that chemo would help her, and would only prolong her suffering. Tina and I decided that it was our responsibility to ease Bonnie’s pain and have her euthanized. i was with her in the room, and held her paw and rubbed her head until she passed on to the great squirrel-chase in the sky
it might seem silly to some people, but Bonnie was a big part of our family, and we’ll miss her. our plan was to no longer do the “Ask Bonnie” portion of our website when the new site (coming soon) goes live, but we’ll continue to answer questions and post comments until the site change. we hope to have a commemorative Bonnie shirt in the near future, maybe with profits going to the SPCA. Tina and I got Bonnie from the local SPCA, so why not give ’em a little back?
thank you to everyone over the years that stopped by to pet her, give her a treat, or just laugh at how nuts Bonnie was while she sat on the loading dock and guarded the outgoing boxes. if you’re going to have a beer this weekend, pour out a little bit for Barking Bonnie
Tom”
