Hello bloggers. 

I just don't know how to tell you that we lost our dog Axle on Friday 9th January.  

I know he had so many fans on this blog. Who followed his exploits and life. We are devastated and I know you will be saddened too......

He had  a nerve problem in his back, which made it increasingly difficult to walk. And we wanted to end his life before he suffered. He was such a beautiful dog, with such a sweet and loving nature, and such a strong sense of humour.......

Only yesterday, my husband was telling me how Axle seemed to laugh, when he slipped on patched of ice in his big boots, back in Neuchatel. He'd come wagging his tail, with a smile on his face -licking him all over, then running off with glee.......

Do you remember when we found you at four months in Battersy Dog's Home? And daddy carried you in his coat, on the train and all the way home? You grew up to be such a polite and loving dog. And filled us with adventures. You always hated it when there were family rows, and made your disapproving noises!

We feel so lucky to have had you. Rest In Peace beloved Axle
