It is with very great sadness that I tell you that we
said goodbye to our dear, sweet Talisker
Tailsker was the chief “begger” in this house. This is something that is forbidden at the
dining table, but all bets are off in the kitchen and around the breakfast bar
and he mastered the art beautifully. He
would sit quietly behind unsuspecting guests and every now and again would
gently nudge them with his nose. If that
didn’t work, he would tap his target with a paw and that very rarely failed
which would benefit both him and his brother.
Tobermory now looks lost when guests stop by for a glass of wine.
Our beautiful boy had his favorite spot on the sofa. For those of you who watch the Big Bang Theory,
you will understand when we tell you that we called him the Sheldon of the dog
world. If his brother or a visiting dog
were sitting on his spot, he would never behave badly. He just sat and looked at me with a hurt
look on his face until I had asked the intruder to move when he would triumphantly
hop up onto the now vacant spot.
Talisker’s beautiful gentle soul will always be missed by
us.
Mummy
