Raymond (Ardley Rescue Kennels, Oxon)
14/11/2009 A sad update from Raymonds family. “In November 2007 we adopted Raymond, a Yorkshire Terrier seen on the Oldies website from Ardley Rescue Kennels near Bicester. He was an absolute gem. Sadly he passed away on 25th September 2009 having suffered from a brain tumour. For such a little chap he has left a big hole in our lives. He was a joy to be with and is greatly missed and we are heart broken.”
