To the very last day and last photo. Basil now gone peacefully to the big beach in the sky. 06 May 2011, Waiheke Island, New Zealand.

 
and occasional burst of energy...

 
retirement!

 
Slowing down a bit...

 
Sick Boy.

 
Its all in the eyes...

 
Trying to swim a bit...

 
Always waiting!

 
bit more for luck...

 
and more beach...

 
its all about the beach...

 
New Zealand or Bust!

 
Bournmouth beach becomes a favorite...

 
Happy as larry!

 
Making friends

 
Learning to like water...

 
Warming up!

 
Knackered!

 
Freeze frame - when you had teeth Basil!

 
Sunny walks in the fields of Wiltshire

 
Being the intelligent collie....sort of...

 
Big smiles

 
The beach is life! even in slightly chilly Scotland

 
Basil gets a blow dry
