This page is dedicated to the memory of members of our family who can no longer be with us. |

One of the down sides to a family like ours is that - in human terms - time together is rather short. So it is important to enjoy that time, and that’s what we try to do. |

Whilst these old friends are no longer with us in physical terms they are constantly in our thoughts as we have such fond memories of each of them. |

Badger and I had a lot of fun together. In the early years we tried lots of different activities. Here you can see us having a go at agility. Being a Collie Badger was particularly good at this. David would say Badger barked in excitement all the way round the circuit. I guess I too must have been having fun - because I never heard him! |

Toby and Badger were the first two dogs David and I had. They were born 2 days apart, and joined us the same day! We had lots of fun with them both, and they were inseparable - always getting up to mischief together! We lost Toby just before he was 7 to cancer and Badger lived another 3 years leaving us quietly in my arms |

Fern was delightful. She was also a monkey always up to mischief! We spent hours together at shows up and down the country and when she qualified for Crufts I was the happiest person alive! Once she got used to new additions she would take them under her wing - showing them the ‘ropes’! Unlike most Goldens she was hesitant in going into water. In fact you could tell when a cold spell was approaching as she would simply stand on the water’s edge watching the others! |

Toby always was David’s dog. No matter that I did every thing for him - such as feeding and brushing. Whenever David would come home from work Toby would stay by his side! They often went off together. In fact it was Toby who first went shooting with his dad. However they did not get invited back again - Toby decided to cut out the middle man, catching a pheasant BEFORE it was shot! |
