Chronicle of a Croydon Boy: The Sort of Stroke Flossie did NOT Want!


Again I am in a reflective frame of mind, caused by a friend of ours who lives in Eastbourne who sent us a photo of her dear departed pet called Bonnie.  Bonnie reminded me of another old canine friend of mine called Flossie, owned by Alice who then resided in the East Lodge cottage at Mellerstain.  Flossie was a simply divine and beautiful Border Collie whom I loved so much about five years ago.  Here's a video I took of Flossie when she was recovering from a stroke.  I hope it still plays OK even though poor Flossie no longer plays on the green green grass of Mellerstain.

    What a beauty she was too. My sister had a similar looking dog called 'Hobbes' after 'Calvin and Hobbes', he lived until the age of 17 I believe. They give us so, so much joy. *smiles * x

    They sure do M. So much joy, and heartache.

    I couldn't see the video, but I'm sure that she was lovely. If only doggies and kitties had longer lifespans. It's so hard to say goodbye to them.
