Tony,
Thankyou so much for such a wondeful, personal and beautiful tribute to your little mate.. Whilst reading it i at first was wooed by his cuteness, then actually laughed aloud at him in the snow! what a cutie! then i awwwwwed at his "throne".. and then i got so teary and sad at his end... and i NEVER cry.. so thats something!
Thankyou for sharing this with us, i hope that when i die someone does something like this for me!!
Last week i lost ALL my animals (except 4 cats) . On saturday morning i woke up and went into the backyard and found all our animals maimed by foxes. Such a waste as they only ate one or two things but killed the entire lot. I especially miss our "mr and mrs duck" - my SO and i had them given to us when they were ducklings, and lived with us ever since.. they were free range and would follow us to the clothes line every afternoon and would try to eat my pants and sniff all my laundry.. then waddle back to the house with me.. just the cutest!
This thread has inspired me to do a tribute for Mr and Mrs duck.. i think i will paint them on a canvas and dedicate it to them.
Tony i hope your sadness eases soon, Bean will always be there in your heart - sleeping on the lounge, and sunbaking on the deck.
