Julie found some more photos of Ollie taken on her phones. No matter how many photos we have of him, it will never be enough.
Baby Ollie, the first week he was here.
Sleeping in a shaft of sunlight, enjoying the warmth. He was about two years old.

I was thinking about him yesterday as I stood next to the plot where three of our dogs are buried. Peace to you both.

It takes us at least a year each time before the trauma of the loss is replaced by the joy of sharing stories about each one.

When these came up on her Facebook memories, Julie sobbed. But better to have them than not.

Much easier with a phone too, he rarely recognised a phone as a camera.

You can see why we wanted him. He was as cute as a button. He eventually grew into most of his puppy wrinkles.

We hold on to all those photographs for the joyous memories and yet (in my case anyway) each time we see them the heart is wrenched again. How cute Ollie must have been with all his wrinkles. I would have loved him. He could not have had a better life or been more loved.

It is so easy to remember him as a tiny pup like that. It almost seems like yesterday. Julie cried a lot when they came up on her Facebook Memories.

It took a long while for him to grow into that bed, and it was a very soft one. When he was bigger we got him a bed twice that size, and it had memory foam.
Best wishes, Pete.

The memory foam must have helped prevent sore joints in his later years?

He certainly slept well on that bed, and we replaced it every couple of years to make sure it supported him during the night.

I cannot blame Julie for sobbing…I was on the verge of tears myself when I looked back in my mind’s eye about the many wonderful, touching and precious little stories you and Ollie shared over the years…I always thought He was the “Cutest Dog In The World” as you might recall.
