Subject: Obit: Pebbles the Dog a folk legend From: Linda Kelly Date: 06 May 03 - 01:46 PM Well perhaps not but she would like to have been. With sadness I have to announce the death from cancer of my wonderful pooch Pebbles age 14 and a bit. Famed for her almost disappearance at Towersey Festival and from various appearances at Otley FF Whitby Shanty, Holmfirth Hull Sea Fever and sometime appearances at the Sun Inn Beverley. She had terrible breath but was her own woman and could devour a chicken at one sitting.She was also hell of a looker and a bit of a tease. Sadly missed but never forgotten. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Pebbles the Dog a folk legend From: Noreen Date: 06 May 03 - 03:20 PM Sorry, Linda. Pebbles, if not a legend, will certainly be remembered fondly in the folk community, not least for having the temerity to fall asleep under the bench in the barn at Towersey in the midst of the most wonderful singing- and to stay there happily whilst the hue and cry was being raised by a panicking Linda who thought Pebbles was lost and gone! Happy memories. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Pebbles the Dog a folk legend From: Micca Date: 06 May 03 - 04:46 PM Linda, I remembered the "Towersey incident" too, (and how said Pebbles was asleep under my feet all through the Hue and cry) when I heard the news and a wry smile formed hugs and good feelings for you,from us here, redeemable at the Yorkshire gathering |

Subject: RE: Obit: Pebbles the Dog a folk legend From: GUEST,Matthew Edwards Date: 06 May 03 - 06:03 PM I'm so sorry to learn of your loss, Linda. Pebbles was a great character - a small dog with a huge personality! I shall throw a stick or two into the sea in her memory. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Pebbles the Dog a folk legend From: katlaughing Date: 06 May 03 - 06:24 PM I am sorry to hear this, too, Linda. We get such incredible love and comraderie from our four-leggeds, don't we. Pebbles sounds like she was quite a character. (Our daughter had a turtle named Pebbles, too. He lived over 16 years.) Lots of hugs and condolences from us to you, kat, Rog, Merlee-the Border Collie and the cats: Charlee, who just lost his twin brother about a month ago; Ms. Lovee; Trystan; Kipling; and Kelpie |

Subject: RE: Obit: Pebbles the Dog a folk legend From: Sorcha Date: 06 May 03 - 10:13 PM Already told you how sorry I am, but I'll say it again. I just HATE it when this happens. The alternative, not to have friends, is worse. |
