Hi again, now the upsetting news.
Over the last decade and a half we have been blessed to share our lives with our much loved dogs who were truly part of our family. As many of you will know, Lester our oldest Maltese became part of our family in February 1995 just after Beverley returned from Rwanda. Some 18 months later Murphy joined the family and following the death of Ross's mother, Herbie joined us. Lester died 5 years ago and Murphy and Herb became world travellers when, like their parents they travelled to Canada. Sadly Herbie passed away one year ago on 7 November following a heroic effort but succumbed to an overwhelming infection.
Murphy who at 14 1/2 years of age had outlived her brothers. Sadly however, on 2 November we said our final goodbyes to our much loved Murphy who was suffering from worsening congestive cardiac failure. It was a difficult decision to make but it was the right one. Hopefully she is at peace and back in touch with Lester and Herbie.

We were so fortunate to have had them in our lives and we are better people because of them.
