Bye-bye Bisto.....
After a run of ill-health Bisto recently tested positive for cancer and we were advised that at 15 years of age it would be kindest to have him put to sleep.At the surgery the next morning I held him in my arms during the proceedure and I felt his heart stop beating.
We had him cremated and on 16th December, our Golden Wedding Anniversary, we scattered his ashes at Wembury Beach, one of his favourite places. It was a bright sunny day with a making tide and a gentle off-shore breeze.
Goodbye, little soldier.

I know just how you'll be feeling having experienced the passing of several of our dogs over the years. They really are a part of the family and when they go, it's so terribly sad.
Our very best wishes to you and Shelagh.

I am so sorry to hear about Bisto. Over our (nearly) 60 years of marriage we too have had to cope with this trauma on a number of occasions. Your moving description of scattering his ashes had me in tears. Our best wishes to you and Shelagh.

15 is a pretty good innings, Going peacefully in your arms is a comfort.
Thoughts are with you,

May you raise a glass of SLW to dear Bisto, who will still be at your side whenever you need him.

At 6'4'', Bill is a tall chap, then again, when horizontal he is rather long and people often used to trip over him! . . . and so a nickname was born :)

I have tried ringing you and failed. I have sent you an email but it would not deliver it. My email address is derekcrofts@uwclub.net. Let's hope that the gremlins don't attack this!
Best wishes
