Nigel

Simon Wright3 · May 2020

I heard on the news today that Nigel sadly passed away yesterday, very peacefully. Sorry for your sad news Monty, my heart goes out to you. I will miss seeing Nigel on the programme. He had lived a wonderful life. Hope you can hear this Monty.

What sad news. Just a lovely dog who just loved watching and walking with Monty around his garden. As a fellow dog lover my heart goes out to Monty for his loss

So sad, I shall miss him. I remember seeing him on last week's programme in the drizzle, Monty said that Nellie and Patti had gone inside but Nigel was still happy to be out. He looked old and tired but I never thought that his days were numbered.
Rest in peace with your tennis balls Nigel.

Monty and Sarah so sorry to hear of Nigel. He will be missed on gw and Twitter. Rest in a peaceful place at Longmeadow Nigel.

I see both our newspapers carried an article, Monty said Nigel helped him with depression, and that there was a Nigel shaped hole in his life.

Just watched last nights GW on iPlayer and the last five minutes was unbelievably sad. As a fellow dog owner who has had to say good bye to two of my lurchers over the last 20 years I have some idea of what Monty and family are going through now. My sympathies go out to them. We shall all miss seeing Nigel following Monty around the garden I think.

Very nice piece but surprisingly upsetting as well. Was clearly very difficult for Monty to get through.

Sad but also a celebration of Nigel's life. In Monty's own words, 'he had a good life' and surely did. I expect Monty will be finding tennis balls for years to come all over Longmeadow, a reminder of his faithful friend.

I posted on Forkers, I had a tennisball sized lump in my throat watching it. The folk who accused some of us of hysterical outpourings like when Princess Diana died, I would say, we are not sad for Nigel, we are sympathising with Monty, 2 of our dogs, the one Hubby had when I met him and our last border collie were nearly 18 and we had to make that dreaded decision, to have them put to sleep, only one cat ever died at home peacefully and one unfortunately run over Christmas day.

Such a lovely tribute to Nigel, am sure every true dog lover had a lump in there throats, I was crying my eyes out.

I hope to name a guide dog after Nigel as a tribute from the viewers who got so much joy from watching him over the years.
