| The dog has seldom been successful in pulling man up to its level of sagacity, but man has frequently dragged the dog down to his.
- James Thurber (1894-1961) U.S. humorist, illustrator. |
| My secret favorite, Robbie the brindle. We only had you for eight weeks and you were taken from us by a heart attack. It shouldn't happen to such a lovely gentle dog, only four years old. We gave you our best and you responded with love. We will always miss you as will Vicky, your soulmate. |
| A man may smile and bid you hail Yet wish you to the devil; But when a good dog wags his tail, You know he's on the level. Will Rogers. 1879 - 1935. | ![]() |
| Hope 08/08/1997 - 19/02/2012 Who died peacefully at 11.15 today 20 February 2012. Thank you to everyone who helped make this girl's final weeks so happy. |
I haven't gone and left you,
I'm here, but you can't see
How close I am beside you,
Yes Mum, it's really me.
Thank you for your kindness,
You've freed me from all pain,
I know you're sad, but don't be,
Soon we'll meet again.
Death is really not the end,
It's just a passing on
Into a world of brightness,
Where fear and pain is gone.
I'm free to run around and play
Just like I used to do.
Until we meet again Mum,
I'll wait here just for you.
