Sideways 1 for web, originally uploaded by Paradise in Portugal.

I seem to always post good news here, and not surprising really as the Quinta’s a pretty good place to be, but occasionally my natural exuberance takes a hit.
I have to say this last week is one of the worst where that’s concerned as one of my favourite friends passed away suddenly a few days ago after a short illness.
We will miss him here, as I am sure will everyone who ever had the good fortune to meet him. He was the friendliest and most intelligent dog I’ve ever had the pleasure to know.
We buried him here in the garden he loved and have planted a cyprus tree to mark his grave.
Rest in Peace Sideways; I count myself honoured to have had the chance to know you for so long.
