Our beautiful dog Sister

Sissy 1996 - 27th November 2010
This is a photo of our beloved dog Sister or Sissy as we called her unless she was in trouble.
She was a stroppy, moody and assertive old woman who may or may not have have had psychic powers. She liked cheese & chocolate which we know are both bad for dogs & so never gave her in excess. She once managed to get a 60cm tall elegant bunny off of the chair in our bedroom & devour it's ears before we found her & stopped her. She always managed to get what she wanted. She suffered the stripey vest in this photo for only two cold days before I found myself helping her out of it despite thinking she looked gorgeous in it - hypnotised perhaps?
Every morning when I had a bath she sat outside the door "guarding" me & she slept on the end of the bed every night - taking up much more room than her petite size warranted.
She had arthritis & quite bad teeth in the end but was very happy with her lot in life as she had two willing & obedient human slaves called Nici & Sean.
We loved her a lot and are currently rattling about in our suddenly huge empty house wondering at her sudden & permanent absence.
Hope this explains why we've been a tad distracted this week guys.

  1. Awww. That made me a bit teary. Even the smallest pets can leave a huge hole when they go. Pets give us so much. Thinking of you both.

  2. Oh, I'm so sorry at your loss. I can only imagine how empty your home must feel. You have sweet memories though. x
