RIP Mutley

Our beautiful black and brindle white bibbed staffy.
Died we believe aged 14 approx. She went blind and had a stroke In 2002 when we lost her, it is the worst part of owning such a loveley and faithful lady to have to go to the vets !
We had Her from the Staffy rescue in Walsall back when we lived in Darlaston.
She was not a full sized stafford and came to us covered in gloss paint on her nose.
She loved playing in water and enjoyed visits to the beach and rivers.
She would bite the water and hose pipe and could not get enough of it.

Rest in Peace my old friend we all miss you !

I remembered this poem and thought all should see it :-

[b]Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone [/b]




W. H. Auden

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

She was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
