RIP Dexter. Adopted Sep 2010 After a hard few years on the streets of Houston in September 2010 Dexter joined the Quayle family thanks to DRoH and their amazing group of volunteers. 

Dexter loved to eat, sleep in the sun, drink coffee, protect children and to boss two generations of English bulldogs around. He never really wanted to walk far or play with toys but loved being within touching distance of his family. We will all miss the quiet prod of the nose as he checked you were still there or if you were a little slow with the treats. He liked to ride in the car and quickly learnt to operate the electric car window to allow him to put his head out. He had learnt to sing (thanks Rachel!) and would regularly join in if his songs came on the radio. ‘I will always love you’ being a particular favourite. Dexter remained laid back whatever life threw at him, whether it was a DRoH foster dog walking in the door, a 4th of July firework display or one of the regular flights he made across the Atlantic, nothing upset him. 

Dexter relocated full time to the UK in 2016 where he settled happily into city life and grew to ‘love’ the arrival of delivery people. Not so sure they loved him as much though the regulars quickly learnt his loud bark disguised a heart as soft as putty. 

Today he ate his dinner, had a quiet walk and for once the sun shone on him as he lay in the grass. He came home, gave a last bark at the neighbours and lay down to sleep in his favourite spot. Sadly he never woke up but passed on peacefully. You will be sadly missed Dexter, the house is already strangely quiet without you.

Reece (formerly Snickers), who I rescued with you in 2014, has passed away. We had a wonderful 10 years with him; he was very much a part of our family. We are so thankful for his life and the years we got together.    

RIP sweet Reece 

Bella was an elderly "dumpster dog". Found and loved by DRoH volunteers, who cherished her until her end days. We grieve her passing, but she knew love. And those were the best days of her life.

Good morning. I'm mustering the strength to tell you that Sammy died this morning. It happened quickly. It's hard. I'm not exaggerating when I say he was the backbone of the family.    RIP dear friend.
