Alice  1991 - 2005

Alice"From the moment we picked Alice up, we knew we had a superstar! Loving, fun, mischievous, all those things and more. Alice was a true, loyal wonderful girl who was loved by all who met her. Gentle but firm with Toffee, her great grand-daughter, they both lived so happily together sharing their beds, their toys, their treats and most of all our love. We always remember Alice in her later years lying in Jilly’s doorway, not letting the other dogs in or out without inspection, a true matriarchal figure, she ruled the roost. We all miss Alice enormously, she will never be forgotten, we were privileged to have been her family."

Faust ~ Jan. 1992 - Jun. 2005

Faust " Notre Faust (Harold de La Guinotière de son nom de naissance), n'a pas fait notre fierté grâce à son pedigree brillamment obtenu, malgré sa fougueuse indiscipline, mais pour sa tendresse et sa gentillesse. Il nous a quitté un triste jour de juin. Nous devons réapprendre à vivre sans lui, qui fut notre petit compagnon sans faille pendant 13 ans et demi. Il restera toujours dans notre coeur.
Faust
Nous essayons de ne pas être tristes car nous savons qu'il a eu une vie heureuse. Nous l'emmenions toujours en vacances avec nous. Lorsque cela était impossible, seule la famille proche avait droit au privilège de s'occuper de lui. Puis nous avons eu la chance de connaître l'adresse de« Aunty Jilly » à qui nous avons confié en toute confiance notre petit chien à plusieurs reprises. Ca a dû être une sacré rigolade avec ses congénères!"

Carmen  1991 - 2005

Carmen"Carmen was named Bonzer Carmen by her breeders and Felix used to carry her about on his forearm before she'd had all her injections. She became his gundog, sleeping by his gear the evening before a shoot - just in case she was left behind in the morning! She was an excellent gun dog but she would not 'pick up'. She'd tell Felix 'It's in that tangle of bushes, Daddy,' but would not attempt to retrieve it. Well, you can't have everything, can you?

We got to know Jilly when Carmen got too old to travel around and we left her at what she considered her second home. She loved it at Jilly's: all those 'boys' to tease - she never gave up hope. She was a character, only did things when she wanted to and always took over someone else's bed at Jilly's - obviously far more comfortable than her own!

Her last trip was back to England when she travelled by train with Felix and I picked them up at Calais, as usual!  But once home, she wasn't well, wouldn't eat (most unlike Carmen who was always so greedy). An x-ray showed secondary cancer in her lungs. She'd never complained, she got slower which we put down to old age. She was put peacefully to sleep so she could suffer no more. Carmen-dogs was a dear and wonderful little girl, who touched everyone she met. We miss her so very much.."
