this is me with our family dog Josh. This picture was taken, i think, about 8 years ago. Sadly he passed away this week. He was the grand age of almost 13 and had been unwell for a while. He was a fabulous dog, full of the retriever nuttiness when he was young and then matured into a sensible and tolerant dog. He had his ears pulled and was sat on a number of times by my children and always with good temper. He was a sweet thing and we will miss him, the kids in particular. When we told them on Friday evening last week that he was gone Isaac cried and cried and said 'my heart is broken into a thousand pieces!'
He was part of the family and will inevitably leave a large whole, not just because of his presence being gone but also the routines that exist with animals, the caring for them, walking,feeding etc. I know that my mum and dad will miss him hugely……
Goodnight joshy x
HEY Sarah
sad news about Josh – we didn’t meet him often, but when we did he certainly seemed a lovely friendly dog, I remember Emma being particularly taken with him. x
