Brass 🌈 🐾🇨🇦

Yesterday we said goodbye to our best boy. Brass, from the minute we picked you up, to our last walk as a family, you brought us immeasurable joy. We will love you forever. ❤️ Your gentle temperament made you the best service dog and a wonderful pet when you retired. We love you.

@lyndannh @NewForestDog You do indeed ❤️❤️

@NewForestDog @Timberloo I understand.

Some of Newfy’s long standing followers will recognise this paeony. I dug it up and brought it with me from NT1. I had been told they don’t like being transplanted, but this one has done just fine!

@NewForestDog Thank you ❤️

@Timberloo It is SO hard.

@NewForestDog We are doing OK, but missing our boy terribly and still can’t quite believe he is gone for good. ❤️

@Timberloo Thank you! I miss being her voice in here. How are you guys?

@olive_blacklab ❤️❤️❤️

@Timberloo Awww thanks mum puts it down to daily fish oil 🖤

On hollibobs with my pal PoppyPointer she is yin to my yang 😆💙

@NewForestDog A rum and coke is highly underrated!

We’re having sausages for supper (form an orderly queue now all you furpals). Instructions say ‘for best results fry or grill’…. but I just chuck them in the oven because I am a lazy sod and I’d rather scroll through here with a rum and coke in my hand than stand in the kitchen.

@FinnFifth Such a sweet face!

@Timberloo They are. Beautiful and gentle. The one in front had had a stroke when she was younger and her face is slightly unsymmetrical, a very sweet face.

Of course, the highlight of our morning was meeting these two beautiful girls, we had a very long chat!

@_The_Real_Duke What a difficult, but thoughtful decision, made with your heart. We will be thinking of you in the days ahead, as you love on your sweet boy and make the best of every moment. ❤️❤️

I’m going to go get him this afternoon to have some more nice times with his besties and then… we’ll take it day by day and call the home vet to come help him before things get too hard for him. This sucks. Thank you all for loving him. -Stephanie

Update: vet team consulted with his internal med team. There aren’t actually any good options that will be reasonable or respectful of our sweet old man. At best, treatment would AT BEST give us 6 months with him. And who knows what that 6 months would look like.

@sportsnetmurph Thanks for sharing these wonderful memories, Dan. So very sorry for the loss of your dear friend.

It was literally impossible to be in a bad mood around this man. 💔

@FinnFifth Stunning! Are you sure you’re not in Africa?! 🦁 🐘 🐆 🦏

A few more!

@olive_blacklab Very dapper Jim!

Hoosis messing around fancied me as a Peaky Blinder 😉

@NewForestDog Wonderful memories!

@Timberloo One of her favourite games!

Sat by the pond with a glass of wine (yes, already!). Reflecting on life. So many ups and downs. And so unpredictable. I hope you have all had a good day. Beautiful sunshine here. Cheers!

@NewForestDog Oh how we loved watching Newfs and her footyball!

Shortly I shall be heading inside to watch Southampton v Man City play footballing. Nephew is there in person. Newfs loved footballing!

@DexyDuck @NewForestDog ❤️

@Timberloo @NewForestDog That leaves with the guests 😂😂

Pals, if anyone is looking for a short break for a special occasion, I can’t recommend Carsaig Lodge highly enough - the views are just breathtaking and the house is stunning share.google/fyUxMyyNdzfFgZ…

@FinnFifth 🙌🙌

@LateishaLeee @BrianEntin Look up Matthew DeGrood in Calgary, Alberta. He stabbed 5 college kids to death at a house party, within a few minutes. And some of them were awake, and he was psychotic.

@BrianEntin You have to be out of your mind to think one person done this alone in the time frame given!!

Bryan Kohberger's defense strategy is revealed in a new book. A lot of insider info I didn't know. But the bottomline remains: he pleaded guilty. And there is zero evidence he had an accomplice -- Kohberger had no friends. My breakdown here: youtube.com/watch?v=odQ7fa…

@BennyBoygr You selected a beautiful photo of Ben 🌷He is forever loved and missed. ❤️

It’s been three years since you left us, Ben 🌈 and we still talk about you every day. A very special boy who loved life ❤️ Just spent half an hour looking at hundreds of Ben photos, impossible to select just one. But here he is with tulips (of course!) ❤️
