Our dog Harvey passed away on Tuesday 18th June 2019 after several illnesses. He soldiered through all that was put in his way and was of good humour right to the very end. Here’s the beginning of a series of stories I’ve written over the years all about Harvey’s adventures and mishaps. Summer 2009 Harvey […]
Today I lost a great pal. Harvey’s nasal cancer got the better of him and at the vet’s this morning it was apparent the cancer from his nose was spreading to his eyes and brain.
