This memorial is in memory of Foggy the bedlington terrier so cruely taken from his family on 1st of August 2008.

I don't know Foggy's family but I have 2 much loved bedlington terrier's of my own and I am heartbroken for Foggy's owner's for the loss of their much loved boy.

God bless Foggy see you at the rainbow bridge xxxxxx



Foggy was a legendary Bedlington terrier, who grew up in the rural tranquility of North Norfolk, UK. He could often be found running across Bob Hall sands, a stunning landscape that emerges from the North Sea at low tide. It was here that this photo was taken. He was born on February 12, 2001, and died on August 1, 2008 as a result of a gunshot wound.
======================================================
"The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only to be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wing, and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens"
======================================================

A parish council chairman shot his neighbours’ dog dead because its early morning barking annoyed him, a court heard yesterday.

Phil Bishop, a retired television executive who directed shows including Top of the Pops and Game for a Laugh, hit the Bedlington terrier in the heart with a single pellet from his .22 air rifle.

Seven year-old Foggy died minutes later in the arms of his sobbing owner, Sue Currah, 53, as she and her husband, Simon, 56, tried to get him to a vet.

Bishop, 71, insisted that he had not deliberately aimed at the dog from his study window in Brinton, Norfolk. He claimed that he was trying to hit a metal bench in the next-door garden to make a noise that would scare him back indoors.

He was given a two-year conditional discharge by King’s Lynn magistrates after admitting causing unnecessary suffering. But he was also ordered to pay £1,750 compensation to Mr and Mrs Currah and £60 costs.

Bishop opened fire at 7.10am on August 1 after the Currahs let their dog into the garden just before going for a walk. He said the barking upset him because he had had a sleepless night watching over his mentally ill daughter. But Yvonne Neill, prosecuting, said he had aimed at the dog, hitting its flank. Mr and Mrs Currah went to investigate after hearing Foggy yelp and thought at first that he might have been stung by a hornet. The dog was shaking with pain and died during the drive to a surgery in Sheringham. His body was X-rayed and the sharp-tipped hunting pellet was seen in his heart.

Mrs Neill added: “The owners suspected the defendant as they knew he had an air rifle. They had lived next door to him for 15 years and they did not get on.â€

Police went to Bishop’s home two days later and he admitted hitting the dog after aiming at the bench. However, the pellet showed no sign of having ricocheted off a metal object, and a gunsmith told the court that he was 95 per cent certain it had been fired at the aminal.

Mrs Neill said the shooting had had a “a huge emotional impact†on the Currahs, who may move house over it.

Mr Currah, an international auditor and father of two, said he and his wife considered Foggy an important part of the family. He said: “I was walking through the kitchen when I heard Foggy barking in a challenging manner.

“Foggy was at the front of the house and Sue shouted for him to be quiet because we were concerned about disturbing people.â€

Mr Currah said he then heard Foggy yelp and saw his pet limping before toppling over on his side. The couple tried to resuscitate Foggy before arriving at the surgery. Mrs Currah sobbed during the hearing as she clutched Foggy’s black collar, still with his name tag attached.

In a victim impact statement she said she had lost weight and suffered sleepless nights. She added: “I keep on playing it over and over in my mind like a tape. I will never be able to forget it. I keep on reliving what happened. He didn’t deserve to die in this cruel way. Home doesn’t feel like home any more. My world has been turned upside down.â€

Bishop told police that the dog had started barking under his window. Rob New, representing Bishop, said: “He accepts that firing the gun was more than reckless and bitterly regretted it from the moment he heard the dog was injured.â€

Mr New said Bishop was a respected chairman of Brinton Parish Council. He had offered his resignation after the incident but councillors refused to accept it.

White feathers fall from Heaven
Theyre from the ones we love
All the beauty that they hold
Just like the Heavenly Dove

Theyre left so we can find them
Angels send them from above
They know we're sad and lonely
And still they send their love

Save your pure White Feather
It helps you with your fear
Sent from your precious Angel
To let you know theyre always near

It is lonely here without you
,I miss you more each day,
For life is not the same to me,
Since you were called away.
If I could have one lifetime wish,
One dream that could come true,
I would pray to God with all my heart,
For yesterday and you.xxx

In Peace Go Home -

Through veils of peace may you ascend
To promised planes above
Where comfort shall await you
In those summerlands of love

Although my grief is deep and raw
Although my pain is great
I know that you are still with me
I know that you will wait

For in God's time we'll meet again
Of this I am quite sure
I loved you so much on this earth
In absence even more

Love Always Ann & Oscar...xXx

Dancing Butterfly...........

The beautiful butterfly came dancing by,
Then she flew way up into the clear blue sky.
She was dancing and she was wonderful and proud
This my darling was surely a sign that you were around.

Her wings were made of pure white lace
She was flying free, she danced right past my face
Her beauty was so clear for all of us to see
I know she was a wonderful gift from you to me.

Thank you sweet Angel for your gift of love
I know you sent it down from heaven above
A dancing butterfly to make me smile
To show your spirit lives on is so worthwhile ......

We could be together

If my dreams were the ocean
And you were the tide
We could be together again
Together, side by side

If i were the night stars
And you were the moon
We could be together again
Very very soon

If i was the sunshine
And you were the rain
We could be together again
Together, forever, remain.

Fly me to the moon
With your love by my side
Happiness beyond compare
Affection true and tried.

Fly me to the moon
Where stars shine in my heart
Together we'll be forever
We knew that from the start.

Our love is so special
But that is nothing new
We knew from the beginning
That it was very true.

Now is the time to say once more
What I show in every way
You have my heart forever
