Sadly we had to say goodbye to our Labrador Oscar today. We've had him since he turned 8 weeks old and he finally succumbed to the usual Labrador arthritic hips and elbows at the ripe old age of 13.  It's amazing just how much your pets become one of the family. We are all gutted, the kids especially as they have never known the house without him in it. Feel like I've lost my right-hand man Rest easy buddy.
