It's with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of dear Bruce. Many of you will have met him, as he was part of Liz and Jock's family. Liz and Jock, as you will remember, very kindly hosted our annual dog show over many years.
Bruce was really struggling with his mobility, and his quality of life had seriously deteriorated. He would have been 14 this June. He'd lived a very happy life, and had enjoyed unconditional love. He'll be missed enormously by Liz, Jock and family, but they must all draw comfort knowing that he wanted for nothing, and was loved and cherished from day one.
We send our love to Liz, Jock, Rachel, and Jacob along with our sincere condolences.
We're sure that Bruce's Mum (Joy), and his Dad (Red) will have been waiting at Rainbow Bridge to welcome him with wagging tails, along with his old friend Rufus.
We're also sure that many of you, particularly those amongst you who have loved and lost a dear four legged family member, will want to express your sympathy too.
Run, free of pain now Bruce, until we all meet again.
The last picture is the Day at Ferring when Bruce won the Best Puppy Sit & Stay.

Strange weather conditions during the second beach walk this morning. A sea fret rolled in, and believe me, it got worse than the video shows. Eventually I couldn't see the shore at all, and lost all landmarks. Fortunately, knowing the beach for as long as I have, I found my way back. Of course Jess and Paddy weren't a bit concerned.

Another special day! Today we would like to wish a very HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY to:- GINA, ODIN, DAVE, BEAR, LANDO, WILF, BEAR, LUNA, WILLOW, and lastly our very own JEMMA.
How on Earth can you be 5 already! We still consider Jemma a puppy!
We know that you're all going to get a lot of spoiling, and treats today, but we send our love, and a special birthday cuddle.
Your Mum and Sister also send their love, along with licks, and slobbery kisses. We'd also like to think that your late Dad JJ will be looking down on you from Rainbow Bridge, and sending you his love.
Have a wonderful birthday 🎈🎂. ###

Jackie has been joining me on the morning beach walks for the past few days, so we've been taking the whole pack for their morning exercise. They love the water of course, and this was one of many dips.
