So very difficult to write with this tragic news. Dale and Mick (Riginal RRs) and Anika (Billy's 'to be' owner) are in mourning tonight over the devastating loss of Billy (Riginal Rock YourHeartOut). Anika was about to take three of the dogs; Billy, Patience (Ch Riginal Patience) and Doug (Riginal Do U Get Excited) out for a walk unaware that the front gate to the property was open. All three sped across the road, usually a quiet country road with little traffic, but this evening a road train was going through. The truck collected Billy who died instantly and Doug who escaped with a broken leg. Miraculously Patience somehow missed being hurt although she is in shock - as are we all.

Billy at just over two years of age has been the rising star in the showrings here in Qld recently taking Best in Group as well as Best of Breeds. But more importantly he was a very special mate to Anika sharing her bed but owning her heart. To Dale and Mick this very special boy was a full sister to Patience out of Gr Ch Bearstar Doulen Ko ET and Ch Jamaidenlee Shambani ET - a boy who was to have been sold but they both adored his crazy happy ways too much to let him go too far from them.

Rest in peace wonderful boy - we'll all miss you so very very much.

Cyndy
