Kaptain Kidd has been
the faithful companion of Jules for almost16 years and at the age of 2 weeks
off his 16th birthday, we lost him to Vestibular Disease. Only a few days prior, we were down at Metung
for a visit and he was gambolling along the street chasing after Bonnie, who
was going for a walk with Jules and Jennie.
Even though he has been reticent to walk any great distance for several
months, he felt that he was being left behind and didn’t like it.
Kappy was a pure-bred
Miniature Schnauzer and an elegant looking animal but with a propensity to guts
his meals and a determined streak when he didn’t want to follow
instructions. He often skipped when
walking and in the last couple of years, could only manage a “wander” around
the block, rather than a full-on walk.
He will be sadly
missed, but we’ll retain his ashes at Metung and find a suitable spot on the
property for a memorial tree.
