Goodbye Dear Friend

So, full of good resolutions to cram my blog with interesting chat I set it up and vanish for two months! I'd like to say that I was off doing madly interesting things but dogs and life got in the way as usual.

What's happened in your life since last we met? Sadly we lost our Molly (Paddipaws Pavlova) on 24th September. Molly was almost eleven and the most loyal and devoted Old English Sheepdog you are likely to meet - unless you meet another OES that is. Her trip to Rainbow Bridge was more of a gentle flutter than a big leap and she took her journey with us holding her paw and stroking her beautiful head. There will never be another dog just like Molly and she leaves a big gap in our lives. We still have Buster (Paddipaws Pagliacci) and Squidgey, (Paddipaws Piaf) who are as happy as ever and looking forward to their 13th birthdays early in 2012.

Molly's ashes are by my desk along with eight beech caskets containing the ashes of other much missed Bobtails and one Polish Lowland Sheepdog named Oscar who have left us over the past twenty years.
