Sadly Monty's Nell has died.
She was a beauty.

‘Only’ a dog?? No doggy person on here would agree with that!
RIP Nell, 🐶❤️

Is that right? I can’t find it anywhere. One of his two miniature dachshunds called Brenda died recently and Monty missed Gardener’s World for a week. The Dachshunds never appeared on the programme.

Just seen it posted on Monty’s twitter page. It appears she died last night after being diagnosed with cancer in June which is why she hasn’t been on the programme recently. He said she went downhill rapidly and is now buried in the garden next to Nigel. How sad. RIP Nell.

How very sad. I wondered why she hadn’t been on the programme lately.
Rest in peace Nell.

No, never ‘only a dog’, as they are so much a part of the family. Such sad news of Nell, as she was so very young. Thinking of Monty and his family. ♥️

Such a sad, painful time for Monty.
Rest in peace dear Nell.

Oh, sad for Monty, he loves his dogs.
Sadly if you love, you hurt when you lose your pet companions. 😥

I've asked GN to remove the "only a wording. Those who know me on here will understand that it wasn't meant at all like that. I am the biggest doglover there is, and actually cried when I read it .

Grandmabatty Sat 21-Oct-23 13:15:30

It's such a shame. Nell was a beautiful dog. I miss my dogs but will never have another

TillyTrotter Sat 21-Oct-23 13:52:18

Please don’t worry Joseann . We all know you meant well, 💐

Casdon Sat 21-Oct-23 13:56:02

She was a beautiful dog, and not old either, RIP Nell.

Beechnut Sat 21-Oct-23 14:05:39

I was wondering about her when I caught up with this week’s GW 🥲

Oreo Sat 21-Oct-23 14:10:01

That’s sad, I liked seeing it pottering about after him on the programme, that breed of dog always seem so affable.

Callistemon21 Sat 21-Oct-23 14:11:14

We understand, Joseanne and know how much you love your dogs.

Callistemon21 Sat 21-Oct-23 14:12:52

I'm sad to hear Monty's news about Nell, she was such a lovely dog.

RIP Nell, together with Nigel again, enjoying the sunshine wherever you are.

RosiesMaw Sat 21-Oct-23 15:36:07

Oh no, it’s no time since he lost Nigel.
Lovely lovely dogs, both of them 💕

There is a picture on Insta last week or so with his other Dog Peggy she's 13.. Its all 4 dogs such a lovely picture

Bless Nells paws she came across as a lovely gentle Dog.
Such a sad loss for all his family.

How sad. I too wondered why she hadn’t been on GW for quite a while.

We’re coming to the end of the series for this year which always makes me sad and Becky, one of the lovely sisters with Down’s syndrome, who often feature on the programme, has also died.

😢😢

Grandmabatty Sat 21-Oct-23 15:49:58

Monty posted it on twitter and on Instagram Avalon

merlotgran Sat 21-Oct-23 15:51:56

I’ve just seen Monty’s post on Facebook.

😢😢😢

Auntieflo Sat 21-Oct-23 16:15:46

Joseann, thank you for letting us know.
I don't 'do' Twitter' or Instagram, so wouldn't otherwise had known.
How very sad.
We love seeing his dogs when they make an appearance on Gardeners World.

toscalily Sat 21-Oct-23 17:35:08

Such sad news, I always enjoy watching what the dogs are getting up to, they always seem well trained ( with the odd naughty moment), also the cats that some of the other presenters have. So sorry to hear that Becky has passed away, I had not heard that either, may she rest in peace. Thank you Joseann for letting us know.
