A BIG THANK YOU

Corinna and I would like to thank everyone who has been so kind in thought, word and deed since the sudden and completely unexpected death of our dear collie Biggles on Tuesday morning. Life is hard without him but at this point in our lives there are only two things that we can do.


We could do what other pet owners of our acquaintance have done and commit a sort of emotional suttee, turn our house (and this blog, and OTT) into a memorial to the little fellow, and allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by our grief, or we can take the grief, grok it in its fullness, and move on, hopefully the wiser and the better for the experience. Apart from the unfortunate occasion with the Fire Prevention Officer's ankle, knowing Biggles was a positive experience and he enriched our lives for the short time we were priveliged to know him.


So forgive us if we have the occasional lapse into sentiment, and dwell upon him from time to time, but we will - I promise - do our best to move on...
