BERTIE 
DOB:03.11.1996 - 30.11.2005

Unfortunately at 8 years of age, Bertie got cancer which grew into a massive tumour, it was inoperable so we made his life as happy and comfortable as we could but sadly the day came when he had had enough.  

He had enjoyed romping in the garden during the summer months, celebrated another Christmas and his ninth birthday but on the 30th November 2005 we went for our very last walk together on the beach and said our Goodbyes.

He was a true character who never stopped loving to play tug-o-war, running around with car tyres, or plunging into the water right up to the last, a real trouper who bore his illness with dignity and strength and if you were very unlucky, would absolutely smother you with the most slobbery kisses imaginable.  

Missed terribly but always with a smile as our old Slobber Chops was just such a happy boy and that's how we remember him.
