Now we don't need the little step in front of your chair , or the old H/W bottle ...and won't hear you barking long after the others had stopped(being deaf you didn't realise!) Thanks.

persephone Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) thankyou. It is extra hard withGert, as in Mum's last few years Gertie was her shadow. When Mum had a seizure and was on a mattress in the kitchen waiting for an ambulance, Gertie was there too. She slept alongside Mums bed. After mum died, gert would NOT sleep indoors no matter which room we tried. She would work herself into a shivering mess- so outside it was, and she was absolutely content???? in the mornings she would always come in for toast, and again she would lie in her armchair while we watched TV in the evenings Funny old girl She will be much missed. Both the old shearer who gave her to us, and Mum are probably now enjoying her company again???? Edited September 30, 2015 by persephone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 thankyou ... as you all know , it's the little habits that catch us ;) Holding the door open so the old dog doesn't get banged on the way in putting aside a couple of toast crusts filling the shallow waterbowl throwing left over 'bits' under the kitchen table ..... I'm sure she is now so much happier though . :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
