I know the readership of these forums has moved on over the last year and this may not mean so much to many people. But please allow me the indulgence of posting anyway :
Chewwie passed at 5.45pm, Fri 19th Aug. It was a happy death - he went the way he lived - loved and loving, laid back and relaxed, full of trust and contentment - he didnt suffer.
I will work up some words and piccies for a little obituary, later on.
Thankyou
David

In reply to David Hooper: Condolences David, never met him but he looked and sounded a fine dog.
In reply to David Hooper: Sad news.

In reply to David Hooper: feel for you we lost our collie last year and its hard to let them go
In reply to David Hooper: Just saw that, not sure what to say, never a nice time. The down side of having dogs are periods like this but its those with huge characters which leave huge voids. Sounds like you made a brave call.
In reply to David Hooper:
Condolences. We lost all three of ours in the space of a year for various reasons. That was 5 years ago now. Still miss them, but it gets easier to smile at the memories in time...
<Big hugs>

In reply to David Hooper: I know you were very close and that you treasure the connection you had with him, not many people can claim the same. My deepest condolences for you.

I'm really sorry for that David. Truly saddening news
Chewwie was lucky enough to have had the best owner and friend he could possibly have, and i'm sure there wasn't a happier dog around.
Very sincere condolences David, and all my best wishes.

Deepest condolences to you and yours. The love you had for him was clear to see to all on these forums, and he was as much a part of the forums as any human member. Wishing you strength at this sad time.
RIP Chewwie.

In reply to David Hooper: Sorry to hear this, but pleased he didn't suffer. Thinking of you all
In reply to David Hooper:
Sorry to hear it David. I've never met you or Chewwie, but I know just how hard it is to let them go when it's their time. I can be heart-breaking, but I can say with experience, it does get better with time. Best wishes.

I'm really sorry to hear that - I have tears in my eyes though I've never met either of you. It's good that it was quiet and peaceful and he was with the people he loved. I think Mr Lopez summed it up - 'Chewwie was lucky enough to have had the best owner and friend he could possibly have'. Stay strong, David, for your sake and his.

I don't post much nowadays at all but I'm sorry to hear this. The photos of him were some of the best outdoors shots I've seen, and I don't even have dogs. RIP chewwie.

In reply to David Hooper: Really sorry to hear that big man. I still miss our dog and its been 20 years! Good memories though. They will never fade away.
In reply to David Hooper: So sorry David, rest in peace furry doggy. I'm not even that keen on dogs but your pics of Chewie always put a smile on my face and he seemed a good and chilled dog, much like his partner in crime
In reply to David Hooper:
Sorry to hear that, David. I've lost dogs, and know something of how you feel (and I'd never met Chewwie, but he seems seems to have been an exceptional dog).

My thoughts are with you. I felt like I knew him through here.
In reply to David Hooper: Really sad to hear that David, especially combined with what you're going through at the minute.
Sounds like you had a great time together, and I'm sure you'll have many happy memories to reflect on over the coming years.
All the best.

I'm so sorry David. Through this forum, I've realised what a fantastic life you gave him. Its a two way thing though, and for that you have my profound sympathy.
In time, another dog. It'll not be another Chewwie, but you'll love him nonetheless; a character in his, or her, own right. And that dog, whoever they might be, will be forever grateful that they've you as an owner.

Ages ago I promised you and chewie a pint (if we ever met), after having my heart warmed and my spirits lifted by the photo of you both together, all smiles. His spirit will be with you on walks always, I bet. Ill toast his wookie goodness tonight x

In reply to David Hooper: It's a tough one at any time mate but probably tougher just now with lots going on for you.
I came down from a stroll up shining torr wth my dog earlier ad heard from a neighbour that the rspca had taken a dog away from someone down the next road on friday....apparantly it had never been out of the house in 4 years!
A shame for that dog but a good contrast to know you've given your dog a good life...
Best wishes mate,

In reply to David Hooper: I'm so sad to read this David. I've been there a few times myself. RIP Chewwie.
In reply to David Hooper: late to the thread, but I'm truly sorry. It's always, always hard to lose a dog, but it sounds to me like he had the best time a dog could have wanted.
In reply to David Hooper: Very sad news.
I met Chewie in the Bryn Tyrch about a year ago. A most chilled out and friendly dog.
