Evidently chicken bones and egg shells were found near the Four Brother's mine.

It is thought that the burial crew had a meal break.

And, there is evidence about the eggs being brought to the Ipatiev House by the nuns.

Don't recall where the chicken came from.

1934 Yurovsky's testimony:
>>Although I warned them through Botkin that they didn't need to bring anything with them, they nevertheless gathered up various little things -- pillows, little bags, and so forth--and, I believe, a little dog.<<

Yurovsky mentions the "little dog" in 1934 but not in his 1920's testimony.

In the next couple of days, I'm going to type in the testimony of Yurovsky of 1920. Since this copy is found in THE FALL OF THE ROMANOVS, I assume, the words in the brackets are the authors Steinberg's and Khrustalev's:

>>...The comm. [commandant] went to get them personaly, alone, and led them dowsairs to the room below. Nich was carrying A. [Aleksei] in his arms; the rest carried little pillows and other small things with them....

Hi Rachael,

This was a spaniel called Jimmy, and as far as I remember it didnt belong to either Grand Duchess´s, they looked after it when arriving at Ipatiev House, didnt it belong to Gilliard?

I havent got any reference books with me to check.

The only "Jemmy" that history knows is Tatiana's dog, killed along with the Romanovs. The dog that White Army found in Ipatiev House abandoned and alone was Joy, Alexei Spaniel. As far as I know, Gilliard had no dog, and he was not allowed into Ipatiev House, during his days in Ekaterinburg.

Joy lived out her life in Windsor and is buried there. I believe one of the guards either looked after or took joy after the murders.

Yes; Lisa is right, Joy was found wondering alone by the whites, and one of them bring him to England where the dog died, old and almost blind.
