Loved & Lost

Bodger 10th April 1989 - 20th April 2000

Bodger was my first Bull Terrier, he came from Ken and Mary Morrow at Megavar Bull Terriers in Yorkshire. He was the sweetest boy and converted many a Bull Terrier hater into Bully lovers! He did a little bit of showing but wasn't the greatest example of the breed! He was happy to stay out of the ring and be a much loved family companion, although he did tread the boards as the star of Oliver Twist at the Nottingham Operatic Society's production back in 1991! All the child actors bought him sausages and wanted to take him home with them.

Dylan 3rd April 2000 - 18th December 2009

 Dylan came from a first time breeder in Hampshire. His father was Ch Caliber Saranova. He was the only white boy in a litter of 9 and just had to come home with me! Dylan never set foot in the showring but enjoyed a great life with us, going on holidays to the Lake District and Devon. He tolerated Poppy when we plonked her down in front of him in his house and was a good friend and role model to a young Harvey. They would often be found lying together in front of the fire on cold winter evenings. Dylan is sorely missed in our household, we treasure the many photographs we have of him through the years.

Malone  Jan 1996 - May 1st 2011

Malone was our oldest cat at 15 years. He was advertised free to a good home in a pet shop window. He was the only boy in the litter and his breeders didn't want to let him go at first, however I was persistant in wanting only a boy cat and they allowed me to take him. Malone had moved with me over the years, he lived in Nottingham with me before we moved to London in 1997. He had a big character and loved attention, and curiously he never miaowed! Malone loved the dogs and had always shown no fear when ever a new puppy appeared, he simply carried on regardless! He had been known to happily groom which ever dog will stand still long enough and was close to our dear departed Dylan, around whom he would purr and rub on his legs. Malone left us suddenly on May 1st 2011, and is now buried in our garden.

Nora

Nora came to us at about 3 months old from a breeder in Canvey Island. She was a chocolate APH that grows to about a third of the size of our native hedgehogs. Nora left us in July 2011 at around 3 years old. Unfortunately APH don't live long lives. She was a character in her own prickly way!
