I wish I could bounce like Daphne 😁🐩🖤
Hoopers the best fun.. the best ground work you can do before agility, after you retire your dog from agility or at the same time as attending agility!

Ginny 27th Dec 2011 - 31st Jan 2026

I remember the first time I saw my Ginny, I knew she was for me. Born in kennels in rescue she became my constant companion. She was always at my feet or curled into my side.
She was fit and healthy at 14 years old, walked twice a day every day and was adored by my Shepherds. She was kind, adorable, always mistaken for a puppy, wore my Shepherds out with her Terrier antics, she was small and mighty and sassy to the end.

Back in May 2024 she was diagnosed with mouth cancer, and only given a few months to live. I read about Turkey Tail mushrooms and their healing properties against cancer so I started adding it to her food. 2 months later the mass had gone.
We were so blessed and lucky to have the extra 18 months with her but so broken that cancer took her from us at the end.

We all miss her so much. There isn’t a day I don’t look down to see if she’s at my feet. Or go to lift her out of the car, reach for her bowl or go to put my hand out to stroke her.
A big part of me quietly broke when she died peacefully on my lap that day as I stroked her head and felt her breathing slow, I knew she was slipping away.
My vets were so kind and compassionate. Their care for my tiny girl was wonderful. They helped in every way possible over the last 2 months of her life and made the last few moments peaceful.

Grief never gets any easier and grief for a dog can be particularly lonely.

Sleep tight my Ginny x

Every year we remember the dogs that we have loved and lost 🌈
This last year has been particularly sad.
The pain and grief of losing a dog is very lonely and whether those dogs are old or young, were ill or taken suddenly, they are never here long enough.

Saying our Goodbyes is never easy x
