RIP, Lilly.
If it helps, Jez, I heard that my Cindy (Border Collie crossed wi' summat orange) had died when I got back in radio range of base after tipping 25 tonnes of barley at Knapton near Scarborough. Spent the next hour in a layby just outside Malton sobbing my eyes out. She had been my constant companion in my wagon for around 7 years after my divorce. She was pretty much the daughter I never had. I miss her to this day and will never forget her. So many happy memories!
There you are then, now you know. Badass biking trucker is a right bloody softy!! Who knew??

I see my two German shepherds as my daughters so I can relate..
I love them girls and they always try to get to me through the fence gate or come up to the back door of the barn annexe where they live with the soon to be ex wife when I put my bike in the garage when I return home...
Breaks my heart I will never be able to fuss walk or talk to them ever again..
A dog is not just a dog..They see through to your soul and love you regardless...Their loyalty never wavers and they will dedicate their life to being your companion and best friend..🦆

So sorry to hear Lilly has passed, the bond made with a dog is like nothing else, and so heartbreaking when they go. As you say better to do the right thing and let them go with dignity.

I'm not an emotional man, I don't get upset at funerals etc, but having to say goodbye to two dogs previously reduced me to sheds of tears each time 😭

I swore that I would wait at least twelve months before getting another dog after my little black Staffy passed, but my evil ex volunteered at a re-homing centre and after about 6 weeks she started sending me pictures of dogs they had needing homes... I didn't hold out long 😉

Lilly obviously had a good and happy life with you and Mrs DD, those are the memories to cherish. Once again so sorry mate.

After a loooong chat with Mrs DD.
Apparently we can babysit friends dogs for a day or two 🙂

So if you go away for a short period & want to save a few quid on kennel fees. Whilst knowing that your furry nut case isn't in a cage & in a family environment. Let me know & we'll give him a temporary home.
I might even be able to hand him back to you armed with a new trick or two? 😃

A very kind offer :) My nutcase of a dog might put you off ownership entirely 😂

sorry to hear that Jez, we lost Millie earlier this year and it was horrible, Sally our other collie didnt know what had happened to her mate and moped around for weeks. they really do get under your skin. as they are just so loving and lift your spirits.
if ever i am in a mood i go out with the dog and come back feeling much better as their zest for life is so infectous.

Absolutely mate.
The more I learn about people. The more I like to be around dogs 🙂

Losing Dozer was shite. But we still had Lilly.
Losing her has left a huge void ☹
