    So sorry to hear that, Paul, old mate. It's nearly three years since we lost our own Bella and Sable and I still haven't got over it.

    Oh dear, that is so so sad. Our doggies mean so much to us here, we feel for you. At least she saw the delights of Oakwell.
    Best wishes, David, Yvonne, Bella and Finch xx

    She had a very long & happy life & was still up for more. Just her old body let her down..:(
    I feel equally sad and very, very fortunate..

    She looks like a faithful old character.

    I hope you find a way to lift your spirits.

    Sorry to hear that mate. They really are part of the family, but unlike family you don't have cross words and probably give them more affection.

    Very sorry to hear that. I lost my Jack Russell, Fuzzy 3 years ago this November. Luckily I have met a dog owner that I borrow two young poodle crosses from 2 days a week & they have brought me a lot of joy, which has softened the blow. I was lost for about 12 months before I did that.

    Well you can take comfort from her living a full life to a ripe old age!

    According to the fabled doctrine of 1 dog year equalling 7 person (not "man" anymore) years, she lived to age 126.

    Sturdy lass you had there.
