Hello, I am Rik the dog.

Click on the photos for a bigger one.

I was born on May 8th 2004 and moved into the bar in June. I was very young and I missed my mummy lots. I was very sad at first. But wasn’t I cute then?

When it snows, I love to chase the flakes and eat them before they land on the ground. Snow makes my paws feel very cold.

I love to play, here I am playing my favorite game, tug. I am playing with my daddy to stop him becoming bored. He has forgotten his hair again!

At 3 months old I crossed the road, but didn’t look first and a car hit me. It hurt so so much, I even broke my leg and it took a long time to mend.

I love to sit on peoples knees, either on the floor or even on a chair, I don’t mind. This picture is with Lorrie, my mummy, she is having a blond day!
I love to play

Everyone tells me I am a very handsome dog and I have so many photos taken each year by all the tourists, maybe I should charge?

I live, play and sleep in the bar, well it is MY bar after all. I have lots of toys to play with and the people are nice and play with me sometimes. My leg never mended properly and now it is a bit bent, if I play too much some days, it becomes sore, like today.

Very sadly, Rik has passed away and is no longer with us. He is greatly missed, by Lorrie and Martin, plus all the clients that came here just to see him. We miss him so much and nothing can replace him and his barking, his playing and his money taking skills!! We hope he has a good time in doggy heaven. Goodbye Rik
