Atb Agriv8 sorry to spoil your pint mate !! when the courier knocked on the door this afternoon with a "parcel" the Mrs looked at me and spouted out what the heck have you been buying now .. since the people at the pet crematorium said it would be 10 days approx. for the ashes to reach us it never sprung to mind it could be jess . but when I cut open the packaging and seen the her name I instantly filled up and shed a few more tears 😥 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 A fitting end to a great friend and companion . I have took all mine home after the final event and buried them where we had spent most of our time while out shooting and enjoying ourselves . Three of them are on the estate where I worked and still do the crop protection and two are on the local marshes where I still shoot wildfowl , every now and again I still think of them when we are shooting near by and if I could have one final wish before my time is up , it would be getting all together for just one more time , what a day that would be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
