Sparky Humberstone, Maltese Shitz Tzu cross passed away in his sleep 5 December 2004 aged around 12. Adopted from the RSPCA at age 6, we brought him home to Ringwood and he instantly became part of the family.

There is an empty lap where once Sparky slept on cold winter evenings. I miss his crooked smile, the twitch of his tail and even his ear piercing yap that was exclusively his. I miss our chats as we shared toast at breakfast each morning, I miss his friendship and his company. He will always hold a special place in my heart.
