In memory of.....

Douglas doglington

My absolute everything, the dog I didn’t want. Said I wouldn’t even look at, went along with OH so as not to look rude and took him to pts, poor pup with weird legs
Became my world. The happiest bounciest weirdest most loving lovable tiny lab ever born.
Popped up in my fb memories, two years this week since we said goodbye and his tail thumped him out. 💔🥰

Well everyone who cared about George has followed him over to Facebook so they already know, but as it all started on here I thought it would be appropriate to end it on here too….

I am totally heartbroken to say that I lost George on Friday after the most wonderful 4 years and 3 months together. I could not have loved him more, we were total soulmates - as I always say to poor @ponyparty she didn’t know what she was starting on 8th August 2019 when I drove up to Birmingham to collect a terrier who needed a home.

I was clear in my own mind that I didn’t like terriers…. I’d never had one and never wanted one, they just weren’t “my thing”. But somehow - and I can never explain why - every home that my friends offered for George was never quite right. So he stayed….

He loved me and only me, and I adored him more than anything in the world, more than I’ve ever loved any dog in my life. He has taken part of my soul with him and has left a huge gap in my life that will never be filled.

It’s heartbreaking @SkylarkAscending 🥺 but he truly was the luckiest boy to have landed on his paws with you. He was adored, and was given a peaceful and dignified end - a luxury that many dogs are not afforded. How wonderful that he got to live out his twilight years knowing a love and level of care that he’d never known before! Thinking of you 🖤 and forever grateful to you for providing him with a home for life.

Honestly PP I was the lucky one not George ❤️ I’ve never been fanciful but I always think it was meant somehow for him to come along in my life, I’ll forever be grateful that he did ❤️
 
I can't believe I'm writing this but Tia - 14 Sept 2014 - 19 Aug 2025 - crossed the rainbow bridge last Tues.
She went downhill from morning to lunchtime and we had to say goodbye. 2 days before she did 5 miles with me.

Tia was 10, one month away from 11. She's been my shadow and would nudge me late afternoon as she wanted us to have nap time together.
When Sam was poorly I started taking her out with my pony and she loved it - not so much the pony but spending time with me.
I'd show her her collar and a treat - if she chose the treat she stayed. If she ignored the treat she came. She often ignored the treat.

She would jump up with her front paws on my leg so I could clip or unclip her lead depending on how quiet the paths or beach were. She would run alongside us as we trotted and cantered, never veering off the path and last month a deer jumped across in front of us. She bunched herself ready to go but a growl from me stopped her.

At one point she couldn't swim so she went to hydrotherapy to learn. I was so proud the day she followed Tilly and swam around her. Tilly was unhappy and tried to take off not understanding the floating hair was her dog buddy. We had a few iffy moments getting back to land where she recognised her little furry friend

The best pup I could ask for. She did things on her terms. No interest in scentwork but she loved man trailing.

The house is empty without her. The pic with our cocker spaniel and the one before it was taken 2 days before. 💔Screenshot_20250828_000026_Photos.jpgScreenshot_20250828_000009_Photos.jpgScreenshot_20250827_235942_Photos.jpgScreenshot_20250827_235848_Photos.jpgScreenshot_20250827_235755_Photos.jpgScreenshot_20250827_235609_Photos.jpgScreenshot_20250827_235621_Photos.jpgScreenshot_20250827_235640_Photos.jpg
 
Our gorgeous Candy, the beagle we rehomed after she was due to be shot at a hunt kennel as she was too short and small to run with the pack.

Luckily bloke that ran the kennels was a friend of o/h. Had her for 14 amazing years. Run free Candy, reunited with my Dad who loved her so and my partner in the photo that still misses her to this day.
