Robbie 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.
