thank you for all the kind message, i will pass them on to the rest of my family , espessially my mum, he was her little boy and her "4th child"
Ill tell you about how we came to give Guinness a home:
When i was 4 years old, we moved to a new street after my parents divorced and found that an old man that my mum knew lived only around the corner. He invited us around one day to show us his new puppy (Guinness) when he opened the door, Guinness ran out towards us and was showing his teeth and we were scared he would bite us (he was actually smiling - he used to do this all the time when he met or saw some one)
Since we first et Guinness, his then-owner Dy would pay myself, my brother and sister 50 pence to take him for his daily walk as he couldnt do this himself. Dy then found out that he had throat cancer and was in and out of hospital. When he had to go into hospital, we would ask my mum if we could look after Guinness as we knew him and he knew us, of course we agreed. When Guinness was a year old, sadly Dy passed away. Before he was admitted to hospital for the last time, he knew it was his end and asked my mum if we would give Guinness a home and not let his son take him.
My mum had us 3 kids, two cats and 3 fish to look after and never actually wanted a dog but with 3 kids asking and keeping on she accepted to take on Guinness and bring him home.
It didnt take long for Guinness to become a fully fledged member of our family, playing football in the garden with us, even having the kids in our street asking if he could go out and play!
He was such a funny character and everybody knew and loved him. He was my mum's shadow and never left her side. He used to put up with my sister and i dressing him in dolls clothes, pushing him around in dolls prams, feeding him through baby bottles, everything that little girls do to their pets but he never once growled, bit or complained about it.
He was such a great dog that fate brought him into our lives and made our lives and my childhood richer and full of amazing memories.
Rest in peace Guinny boy, sleep well our old friend x x x
