To all the lovely people of east dulwich who may remember my father Tony and his 4 legged buddy Jed his old English sheep dog. For many years he would walk around the area with a big friendly smile chatting up the ladies!

For the last few years he has suffered from ill health and has been house bound and sadly on April 7th he passed away peacefully aged 90 years.


I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all those people who looked out for him and made sure he was ok on some of his not so good days!


My fathers funeral will take place on Thursday 19th April 3.15pm at Honor Oak Crematorium and afterwards we will meet at Vintage Pretty's on Northcross Road around 4pm.

Oh Karen - my deepest sympathies go to you and your family. I often passed the time of day with your dad over the years and had wondered about him and Jed having not seen them in such a long time. In fact, the last time I saw Jed you were walking him and we had a quick chat - that must be well over a year ago now. My thoughts are with you...Helen

Hello Karen,


I was very sorry to hear about the passing of your Father Tony. I am a dog owner (Toby -Red Fox Labrador)and spent many a nice time chatting to him and of course with Jed. I ony met him a few times, but always enjoyed his company.


Is Jed still around? Unfortunately I only read your message today! I would have come to his funeral if I had known.


Warm Regards,


Mandi

Thank you for all your lovely messages ( of which some of them I read out at his funeral ) it is lovely to know that so many kind people chatted to him and looked out for him.


We gave him a good send off !!


Mandi thank you for you message Jed passed away several years ago :(

My condolences.I am not sure I knew your father but knew an elderly gentleman who I spoke to when we met on LL mostly. Was your father a professional or semi professional cyclist at one time? We used to talk about bikes.

Im sure that was my dad you talked to,he wasn't a professional cyclist but he was a very keen one.

He was a member of Catford Cycling Club and used to take part in time trials, most of the time he

finished in the top three which was pretty good as he was the oldest member.

    • Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
