Souvenir Saturday - Remembering Da Beebs

 

#1 here. Almost exactly four years ago, The Poupounette lost one of its brightest stars, our one and only home-grown boy, Da Beebs. I confess that, four years on, I haven't really gotten over the loss of one of the most special boys I have ever had the privilege to love. I am absolutely convinced that his final illness (the complete shutdown of his bile duct system) was triggered by the loss of Tommy, in December 2018, as he was so attached to him. Here are some photos taken during his last few months with us.
