Don't fear the reaper

"Love of two is one,
Here but now they're gone,
Came the last night of sadness,
And it was clear he couldn't go on,
Then the door was open and the wind appeared,
The candles blew and then disappeared,
The curtains flew and then he appeared,
Saying don't be afraid.

Come on Ollie... And he had no fear,
And he ran to him... Then they started to fly,
They looked backward and said goodbye,
He had become like they are,
He had taken his hand,
He had become like they are.

Come on Ollie...don't fear the reaper."


Diesel and Oliver have been best friends since the moment they met.

They have both had issues with other dogs but never with eachother.

All they ever did together was run and play.

Diesel has a lot of friends but Ollie was his best friend.

They both lived next to the park and would have been best friends for the rest of their lives.

Yesterday they played in the park for the last time.

Oliver died last night.

He had a heart attack.

He was two years old.

These are the unedited pictures from their last walk.

On a cold Friday Diesel met Sally in the park.

Sally was with Lilly as usual.

Then they were joined by Diesel's best friend Oliver.

Diesel and Oliver played like they always had.

Oliver was much easier to see in the dark than Diesel.

Mysterious lights appeared in the park.

It was Fudge with his illuminated collar.

The boys got down to business.

Sally joined in too.

When the boys play,Sally likes to referee.

Lilly disappeared for a while.

Fudge doesn't often stand still.

He is like a grey torpedo coming out of the darkness.

Except when Anthony takes a picture of course.

Oliver doesn't look too good in this picture.

Ollie went back to doing what he and Diesel liked best.

They might not look very energetic but it was only possible to take pictures of the boys when they stopped for a few seconds.

Diesel and Oliver have a break for treats.

Fudge,stands still again,briefly.

Oliver always looked like a very fit and healthy boy.

He always gave Diesel a run for his money.

Oliver didn't like other dogs when he was on the lead.

But he was very good with Diesel.

This is the last we will ever see of Ollie.

Diesel and Anthony will miss him a lot.

Rest in peace little ollie.
My thoughts go out to his owners.
It makes my loss seem insignificant.
I am sure he had a brilliant life in the short time he was here.

Sleep well Ollie

Diesel said...

Thankyou Ziggi,

my boss thinks it is not the size of animal which matters but the emotion invested in it.
I am sure Mouse was just as important to you as Ollie was to us.

Diesel.

Oh dear Diesel we are so thrilled that you are back (we have missed you loads) but this is a really sad post because we have followed your blog for AGES and Ollie was always there. And Ollie was young. And Ollie died too soon. So. Mum and 2 redgirls want to say that we all must appreciate every single minute that we have together. Hug to Diesel. And hug to Anthony too.XXX

Hello Redgirls,

my boss still takes his camera out on our walks everyday and he has a lot of pictures to put in my blog.
At the moment he is spending twelve hours a day working on the computer and that just leaves a few hours a day to walk me and play with me and not much time left for writing my blog!

Diesel.

Vizsla hugs from a worried Zig x

Hello Ellie,Sacha,Ziggi and Pesto,

I have just got back from two weeks harrasing the hares and pheasants of Cheshire with Dylan and Rosie.
Though there is no proof of this as my boss carelessly dropped his very expensive camera when I nosed his hand a few weeks ago.
That is the second one he has lost since he got me but he says I am worth it.

Diesel.
