Dear Rozzie,

I have only just read your sad news. I am sorry for your loss, I know you will miss Mandrake profoundly.

My favourite quote, addressed not to a Belgian, but fitting all the same:

"Here one day would stand a giant among dogs, powerful as a timberwolf, lithe as a cat, as dangerous to foes as an angry tiger; a dog without fear or treachery; a dog of uncanny brain and great lovingly loyal heart and, withal, a dancing sense of fun. A dog with a soul." - Albert Payson Terhune from 'Lad, a Dog'.

Thanks for your thought everyone. It is very different without him.

I've just come across this, Rozzie. Mandrake was a very handsome man.

Every time one of our beautiful creatures passes away, the space where they used to be is so powerfully empty. They make such a difference to our lives, when they are here and when they are gone.

Sincere condolences, Rozzie.

When Tirra was killed, a lovely lovely person sent me a tall scented candle with a picture of Tirra embedded in it. Needless to say, I've never burnt the candle, but it stands on the bookcase in my study. Generally, there is no scent emanating from the candle, but every so often the perfume fills the room. I no longer shed tears, but my heart sure aches.
