  • 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.

    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.

    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!

    Hey, Guys! ANOTHER beautiful vlog...and don't let Shaun intimidate you, Colin! You'd look FABULOUS kitted out as a Morris Dancer...and you'd do a fine job of the footwork, too, I'm sure! (But we'll probably never know, will we? Oh well, I can dream, can't I?). Meanwhile, I hope you're continuing to heal from Dillon's passing, and taking comfort from the wonderful memories of him, and his adventures with you, aboard Silver Fox! All the best to you and looking forward to your next installment. LOTS of love, and loving thoughts... J.

    Sorry to hear about Dillon. I'm a pet lover and my pets have been my best friends all of my 54 years on this earth. The one thing that is hard to see at the time of grieving is that another will come along to take their places and will be just as special. There are many wonderful animals out there, it's people that are arseholes!

    Wow guys I was not looking forward to this vlog and I am still crying but you did him proud - thank you One day when we can all handle it please do a Dillon compilation like where he fell off the boat into the canal. 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 . Loved the outtakes very funny and the area seems just idyllic great cruising.

    Dillons last year or so being on Silver Fox, rather than stuck in a house whilst you were working, must have been a revelation for him, the great outdoors, fields to run about in and all the wildlife to take in. Oh and also able to swim in canals when he missed his footing. He had a good life, well loved not just by yourselves but everybody that saw him here on your channel. Sweet dreams Dillon.

    Well guys,.... I sure didn't see that coming. My entire family is made up of dog lovers. Personally, I like dogs more than people. Every time you recorded Dylan looking up into the camera, I said to myself that dog could see into your souls,... and he loved you both. Losing a friend like Dylan hurts as much as losing a much loved human family member, maybe more. My daughter Katie and I lost our dog last August and I still shed tears thinking of her. We both hurt for you.

    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.

    I want to say a huge Thank You to Dillon. My “fur niece” was my first dog and also a Springer. Dillon made me smile watching him and remembering all of the times in the woods and in the water (could not keep her out!) with Jezebel (yup - no joke). Whenever the time is right you will find another dog to love. Sooner than that you will be able to watch other dogs and smile, laugh and remember all of the mischief and charm of Dillon. 💜💜💜

    So sorry to hear about Dillon guys, I have three dogs and have owned dogs all my life so I know how upsetting it is to lose a member of the family, stay strong and enjoy your time with Otis. Love your videos by the way, great couple.

    You know that I have watched your channel for about a year and so enjoyed the pictures of Dillion, what a great dog, I'm really going to miss him. Please keep up the great videos, the two of you are wonderful hosts. Colin your video editing is the best I have seen in any other narrowboat channels. The drone seans overhead and the shots just at the waterline, fantastic, and the perfect music to carry you through every seen. Shaun love your snarky comments, you guys make a great comedy team.

    We had a similar thing with Poppy, our Golden Retriever. She just didn't wake up one morning and we learned that she had always had a heart problem. She was a happy soul and a great friend. My heart goes out to you. Dogs are such wonderful creatures.

    Dylan had such a sweet face and a lovely temperament. I was especially proud of him when he alerted you to someone trying to get on the boat. I am sorry for your loss. I am sorry for my loss too. I didn't realize I could be so attached. Thank you for the video.

    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.

    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?

    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

    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.... đŸ˜„

    Those darn pets - we love them like children. Always, always another dog or feline who need our love and vice versa. Live in the present. Find joy in each day. We sure do have a lot to learn from them. Dillon was a handsome lad and had a wonderful time on that boat - the envy of his peers! So glad you have Otis - he’s a show stealer.

    Dhillon was so lucky to have his best mates with him when he died. He had no idea about death and that he wasnt going to see you ever again when his eyes closed that last time. All he ever wanted was to be part of a pack , thats what dogs do. You were his pack and he thrived in your care , well done and console yourselves with the fact he didnt go through endless procedures and misery ...

    @sebxiou-lifestyle4465 Pƙed 4 lety +3

    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 Pƙed 4 lety

      @@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.
