Just received some sad news the gorgeous boy that was Sparky (Penches) crossed to rainbow bridge on Thursday he guided his dad round the hall most weeks since 2013 and towards the end he could have done it without his dad 🥰 I had the pleasure of grooming Sparky right from a puppy up until I gave up. I groomed him for his stage debut as toto in the village theatres production of the Wizards of Oz, he did an amazing job and Franny & I were as proud as punch sitting in the audience watching him. Both Ian & Sparky will be missed greatly by all that attend our classes we have so many wonderful memories for across the many years we have known them. Our thoughts are with Ian & Gerry at this tough time and we hope that Sparky is running around at rainbow bridge with all his friends that have gone before him x 🐾 🌈
