	For Our Dear Friend He was a SOLer of high pedigree He took to our hearts, if not to the sea His daily routine we all knew quite well From oceans away, his presence we’d feel An emptiness now shall blanket the fleet A crewmate of SOLers has gone to his sleep The Dog-Watch has earned a new meaning this day From now, for all time, it shall mean “Mr.K” With deepest sympathy, SP

	ShamPir - thank you so very much for your poem for Mr K! I am stunned (and happy) that you wrote it. T'will be copied and pasted for sure! Mr K was pts on Monday evening, here at home. Over the past week he had gone from "just" old, deaf, blind and walking stiffly to having his back legs collapsing. Finally, on Monday, after a very very brief morning walk he totally refused food and water and spent most of the day prostrated on one of his beds. Mid afternoon, when usually K would tactically sneeze, stretch and generally announce to the world that it was arvo dog-walk time, he was still flat in his bed. Breathing calmly but very flat and not very with it. I then realised that the time had come for me to release K from his duties of supervising me and called Brian the Oz Vet who said he would come out after office hours (he and I had pre-arranged this a while ago). Just before Brian arrived, Mr K did let me hand feed him a couple of morsels of freshly prepared chicken but still didn't want any water...it was clearly time for him to go. My heart is breaking but my head tells me I did the right thing. Attached is a wee memorial I wrote to celebrate his life and here is a link to Mr K's blog which starts with the memorial but has other pics too. Diary of K's Early Days in Beckenham K's Brief Bio P.S. If anyone thinks it is inappropriate for me to hog SOL bandwidth with this, please do let me know and I will then lock this thread. ______________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2011-12-15 10:39:17 --- Attachments Memorial.docx (554.1 KB)

	Hi RC, I wish you all the best in dealing with this great loss. My wife and I know how your mindset is today, we had a couple of years ago the same issue with our dog, which is 4 months ago replaced by another great puppy RIP mr K and lovely thoughts for you RC! "Sailing is an Art"

	I am so sorry to hear about Mr K. Its a great loss, Some how PRs won't be quite the same without him. Mr K will live on in many SOLers memorys.

	RC, very sorry for your loss of beloved Mr.K. Don't wait long and buy yourself a new young dog.Maybe even better adopt one from dog shelter as that would probably like Mr.K. from heavens. Damir
