Her favourite sunbathing position
This morning at 9 o'clock my beautiful, loyal and wonderful dog died.
She has been with us since we moved into this house - nearly 12 years. We got her from the SPA ( French RSPCA) and they think she was about 18months old.
Both the boys grew up with her and she has always been there, following me around, checking where I was and looking for cuddles and love.
She had not been 100% for a while, but the vet said it was just old age. Then 5 weeks ago she was bitten by a snake on her nose. Amazingly she got through this, but I was warned the poison may do lasting damage.
I don't know what she died from, but I was with her and that was very important to me. I hope she knew I was there.
We will bury her in the garden tonight.
The house will not be the same

How very sad. She looks like a dark version of our young Monty. Lovely looking girl.
So sorry to hear your sad news,dogs are such loyal creatures and easily become a focal part of the family, I know you are going to miss her a great deal.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Animals hold a special place in our hearts and it is unbelievably hard when they die.
My commiserations - I know what a gap it leaves when you lose a loved pet. :O(
Pet lovers every where,feel your pain. I,too, lost a very long time friend this past year, and it does take a while to get over it.We'll miss them,but they live on in our hearts and memories.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
I had a long chat with my younger son tonight. He was just 4 when Miss came to live with us and he is feeling it at the mopment.
As I write him and his Dad are digging in the back garden.
Oh how sad! Sending you lots of love from over here!

That is so sad. She looks very beautiful. We still miss our old dog, Harvey.
Oh MY GOSH,
I just tumbled on your blog from reading Legend in Lunchtime. What a post to read in my first visit to your blog.
How sad I am for you, the passing of your beautiful 4 legged companion is truly heartbreaking, no matter how much one expects it.
I have 2 16 year old Bichon Frises and I dread the inevitable.
My best wishes to you, I know you'll be grieving your loss for some time to come.
