And it's goodbye from me......
I am writing this from doggie heaven. I thought something was up, when the ham started up again. Then the weeping and wailing. Two nice ladies came to our house and I fell asleep and woke in heaven. Just like that. Painless. I am so sorry that I didn't get a chance to bark a fond farewell to Mollie, Charles, Trixie, Belle of Ewell, Benson, Ella, Cindy, Morgan, Razz and Abi.
Don't cry Mummy - I'm OK now. I am running in the sunshine like I used to when I was young. I am in the parks you used to take me to - Richmond, Nonsuch, Bushey and Epsom Downs - it's just that you cannot see me. I am chasing rabbits and squirrels and there are tripe sticks everywhere.
Your two old dogs, Moss and Bella have been showing me the ropes on how to avoid Barbara Woodhouse. I've also met Ruaridh who flew in from The Isle of Man and Bonnie Fogg. Brenda your Mum was also here to welcome me. Here, I can have steak whenever I desire, I can eat my own vomit should I wish to, without getting into trouble (why was that a problem Mum?).
I know you've been thinking of letting me come here for some time now and I am happy to be here - honestly. I shall miss you Mum and Dad but it had to happen. Do not blame yourselves, we had a great time together.
I believe I was sent to you, to try your patience and you both passed with flying colours - especially you Mum! I am sorry I could be such hard work at times, especially at the end but I always loved you both. Please apologise to Ava Docherty for me - it was nothing personal. I hope I haven't put her off dogs forever. I was old and tired and originally came from a broken home when I was almost two. I left you when I was ten days shy of sixteen. Not bad going Mum. I think my mate Benjy may also be on his way up here. Don't worry Anna, I promise to take care of him.
I'll check in with you every so often to see that you're both OK. I know there'll always be a place in your heart for me but replace me in the fullness of time. Give another rescue dog a loving home - he/she will want for nothing.
Well, I can't stay here writing to my fan base. I have a new heavenly blog to create. Thank you for giving me a loving home for fourteen years and always try to remember my good points and my loyalty. Until we meet again ..... your loving Taffy Lloyd.

What a lovely way to say good bye. I am sat here crying my eyes out. The 2 dogs I am looking after me are looking concerned so I'd better stop. Taffy was a lovely dog and it was a privilege to have known him.
