Goodbye my friends
As I have enjoyed sharing my happy times with you, it seems only right that I should send out my own goodbye too.
The last few days have been a little tiring, but I have been surrounded by much love, care and attention.
Whilst my appetite has dwindled, the food offered to me has been delicious and I have done my best to eat it when I can.
I have had a life full of love and happy times and now it is time to rest.
Thanks for reading along over the years. Love Roddy x

Sitting on the landing.....
Hi there,
I do a lot of sitting and contemplating here, at the top of the stairs. What to do next? What to eat? Where to snooze?
I don't seem to be able to eat as well as I used to, so mum and dad have been trying adventurous new meals to excite me to eat! Unfortunately, cook as they might - it's the simple foods that have been appealing the most: corned beef, sausage, heinz beany-sausages and beef and ham paste.
Yesterday the menu took a distinctly 'Friday night chip shop' turn, with jumbo sausage and fishcake - very nice.
Today I have eaten some tinned tuna (yummy!) and a little beany-sausage.
Its not that they don't feed me proper food - all the very best dog food, meat, vegetables and biscuit seem boring to me these days. I really am becoming a fussy old man!
Still - life has never been so exciting when I approach the kitchen hungry. At this stage, I now know that if I want to eat it and will eat it, I am allowed ANYTHING!

My poor nose!
Hi All,
I have been doing a bit of burying lately. Don't really know why, but I have just got the urge on occasion to try and hide things. A piece of food, a tennis ball. Important things that I may need another time - just not now.
As you can just see from the photos, trying to bury a tennis ball in hard ground under a holly bush is not a good idea!
I took all the skin off the top of my nose and now have a cruddy pink scabby bit! I hope it goes back to shiny black. After all, my lovely black nose is a feature of my handsome Labrador looks!
