A sad day as three become two. We say goodnight to Dillon, our best mate and loyal dog 💜 Join us for a day of narrowboats, bun throwing, and mock mayors on the River Thames as we head out from Abingdon on narrowboat Silver Fox. After Dillon's passing a couple of weeks ago we journeyed from Lechlade to Abingdon, taking some time to reflect. We remember his life in a positive way.
Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:

I really feel your pain. A few years ago I lost my little best friend very suddenly, a husky who went everywhere with me, work, play, visiting friends, skiing, hiking, camping, canoeing for all of his 15 years. It was way too soon, I held him while he passed and I cried. I miss him and I still think about him everyday. We had so much more to do together and frankly I have not been the same since.

Watched this today and I know it's a year ago but I was so sorry that you lost Dillon and especially so suddenly. People assume that having a dog die naturally is somehow better than having them put to sleep but as someone who has owned and lost a lot of dogs over the years, I know just how truly shocking it is to have a dog die suddenly even if it's from natural causes. Calling 'time' on their life if the need arises is really tough but nowhere near as shocking as you know it's coming even if you dread it. Loads of sympathy but it was lovely to meet Otis at Crick on Friday. Hope he's getting over the excitement!

Greetings from the Hudson River in upstate New York. Deeply saddened to hear about Dillon. What a fine and handsome gent he was as well as an able boater. Since my schnauzer, Millicent and I sail the waters of NY Harbor, Long Island Sound, out into the Atlantic, and the length of the Hudson River alone together in our 1936 cruiser, I know well what a hurtful loss this is for the two of you and your life on the water. Millicent and I send our heartfelt affection eastward across the Pond in the hope that the kind remembrances of your beloved Dillon will become sweeter and more gentle in the years to come.

He was adorable and yes we feel guilty when we look back at the times we growled and told them off but they know we love them .

I've only been watching your vlogs in recent weeks, and I've been watching them in order from when you launched: having seen the video title as I skim through the list to the next vlog, I kinda knew this video about losing Dillon was coming up. Watching Dillon in the vlogs is definitely bittersweet - and must be vastly more so for yourselves. Many years ago, I lost a pet cat that I'd had for 14 years - a good chunk of my life at that time, as I was in my early 30s then. And all these years later, I still think about her. Our pets make a place in our heart, and even when they physically leave us, they still live on in our heart. I still get emotional about losing Rosie, and you will for years to come about losing Dillon. But it didn't stop me from eventually adopting another cat - in fact my hubby and I now have three cats, despite the inevitability of us outliving them and eventually suffering their loss! And I know you guys now have little Otis - and he looks like such a sweet little soul too. My condolences for Dillon's loss, even if I am a year or more late, as I know you will be still feeling his loss. Cameron

I am so sorry to hear of your loss - a great shock. Terrible news, though I am "pleased" he did not suffer. We have an elderly dog and am constantly worried that he will pass soon and we have lost dogs before, so know how traumatic it is for you. People (rightly) think that winters are stressful to the elderly - dogs and humans alike - but the heat of summer, especially with the recent heavy weather and poor air, can also be stressful, no matter how cool one stays. I really am useless at offering condolences but my thoughts are with you; it was obvious how Dylan was happy and you all formed a great unit. Giving him a great life was such a precious gift. Take care now and remember the happy times. Best wishes.

@sebxiou-lifestyle4465 4 жыл бұрын

@@FoxesAfloat Hi, thanks for your reply. Sorry to re-reply but that is the one thing with which I disagreed... I have never thought that dogs offer unconditional love. I contend they do, as the rest of us, offer conditional love - conditional upon reciprocity. The fact you told him off sometimes is (generally) an indication of your care and love. Yes, sometimes it would be for his safety; other times for your convenience, maybe - but you did not want to get rid of him; you continued to care for him. Parents tell-off children (and each-other!) - it is all part of living-together and caring for one-another. Do you two never tell each other off? I know we do. So, with respect, what I feel you have not considered is that love you gave Dylan in all sorts of ways - that is why he loved you back (and vice-versa) - just like any love. Only if you were bad keepers and unkind to him, etc could you claim it was unconditional on his part - and clearly that was not so. His love for you, I would argue, was well-deserved - and vice-versa. Don't underestimate your equal part in the relationship. As far as one can tell from television (YT) you are really nice guys (sorry to patronise) and that is what most dogs will respond to. Well done you two and, again, my condolences. All the best for the future, chaps.

Ok a couple of things, first of all it's good to see you both. Was worried it would take a while before we would see you again. Also, I believe I have a good idea for a t-shirt, it would say "Ya can't say that" with a picture of Sean with his hand over his mouth laughing and Collin looking at him like are you ok?. You can find that picture in this video. What do ya think?

Lol spelled both of your names wrong.. Sorry about that "good weed". I saw the shirt, but didn't see one of Colin asking "Are you ok?" That one would have global relevance at this point lol.

So very sad to hear about Dillon. As a dog person, I have said goodbye to far too many in my life. There is no better friend than a dog!

Every time I saw Dillon in your Vlogs I got a smile on my face and my 8-year old allways came to a take a look when Dillon was on. And that was what he'd remember from the Vlog when I'd be talking about your adventures.

So sorry for your loss guys, he was a lovely little guy and I’ve really enjoyed watching him on your travels. There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of all its beautiful colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm spring weather. The old and frail animals are young again. Those who were sick, hurt or in pain are made whole again. There is only one thing missing, they are not with their special person who loved them so much on earth. So each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! The nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring and this one runs from the group! You have been seen and when you and your special friend meet, you take him in your arms and hug him. He licks and kisses your face again and again - and you look once more into the eyes of your best friend and trusting pet. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together never again to be apart

After following you for a few weeks, I realized this video was coming. I also realize this is almost a year old, but I'm watching these in chronological order hoping to one day soon be current. I'm sorry for your loss, and I know that Dillon had a great life. That always wagging tail was proof. I'm glad he went peacefully. Love from Tampa....

I knew this segment about Dillon was coming up but I still had little tear in the eye. Condolences to you both. I look forward to Saturday mornings here in Oz to watch the vlog. Today's vlog even more special as the wife grew up in Abingdon, great to see many familiar places. Lots of other great towns coming up along the Thames e.g. Wallingford and Goring. I'll look forward to future episodes. Cheers Pete.

Guys, I remember watching this Vlog out of sequence, but now I'm catching up, and this brought a lump to my throat once again, you could not fail to love Dillon, and my heart goes out to you both, we lost our Golden Retriever not long back, but that was down to old age, and you never can quite accept it, so my wife and I know how you feel, it just feels empty. Time is a healer, but sometimes it's too long. R.I.P. Dillon.... 😥

I know I've just watched some time after Dillon's passing but my condolences to you both- my friend lost her two cats and dog all within 8 months- old age health problems with all - she was severely depressed all the time as she had never been without a pet in 51 years , so talked her to go through a rescue site here in Cairns one day and got her another cat which has bought the joy back into her life - absolutely stunningly beautiful cat by nature and physically - we call her a diva and the Princess- glad you guys got another baby too 😘🇦🇺

So lovely to see you in your vlog again. Good days and bad days guys. I miss seeing the little one running and jumping around, appearing wet from having had some watery stunt go wrong. His presence added something untenable to my view, something wonderful. Many happy and loving memories for you, and for a little time me. Thank you for letting me share in your love for Dillon. You carry on with life loving and laughing your lives the better for his life with you. Love to you both.
