"The King Selwyn" is dead

The sad news that "Selwyn" (Spotnik´s Special Selection) is dead came from my co owner, Annemiek, and her husband, Rhys, in Holland where he was living, 9 February. We all knew it would soon be time, but it is so extremely sad when the fact is there.; he is gone.

Here is the note Annemiek and Rhys wrote about him:

SELWYN / Ch. SPOTNIK’S SPECIAL SELECTION

Thursday 9 February 2012

Our dearest SELWYN passed away, 13 years of age.

Our ‘once in a lifetime dog’ and unforgettable friend,

who captured us every day again by his presence and personality.

We miss him, singing the Norwegian anthem in the morning,

we miss him, smiling and happy talking,

no more walkies and chasing birds in the fields.

How privileged we were to be his owners

and to share our lifes with him for all these years.

Thank you Helle for ‘sharing’ him with us,

we witnessed all his highlights in the showring,

now we treasure all these very special moments.

Selwyn marked an era in our lifes.

He will live on in further generations,

And we feel blessed to be surrounded by his progeny.

SELWYN, always in our hearts and thoughts,

Run free…

Rhys and Annemiek Morgans
