So saddened to hear of the passing of Izzy. Such a character . Enjoyed his banter and especially his outlook on things considering what he was going through. I vividly remember the post in which he vented long and hard about his disillusionment with the game of footy in which he also revealed just how ill he really was. Given six months so he " sacked" the bearer of that news.
I would like to send my condolences to his family and friends at this time; know that we do share your pain and be assured that he will always have a place here on the kennel and within our hearts.
Mark Twain ( even though he preceded Izzy by quite a few years) had it right...
" It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog" That says it all about Izzy right up until the end.
I am just sorry that the Dogs could not bring on home a premiership for him over the last few years.
Rest well friend, rest peacefully.
