We first saw him when he was 2 weeks old. We tried for some years to get him to stay in his comfortable dog basket, until he had enough! We had some time when we had to wear thick gloves to put him in his basket as he obviously didn't want to go, before we went upstairs to bed, but then, eventually, he got fed up, and barked all night waking us up, and probably, our neighbours! So, we relented and let him up to our bedroom, he wasn't contented with laying on top of the bed and liked to come in our bed and sleep between us, which he did for six years, until he died on Monday, 31st January, 2005. We're distraught, the house seems so empty without him, we loved him so much.
