I don't know what to say... other than that I am so so sad. We knew she was old and would have to leave us soon. But still, somehow, I am in shock. Our Kiwi has passed away peacefully in her sleep. I know a few of you loved Kiwi, she has helped many dogs here with their desensitisation training in the past as the smallest and calmest of our pack. She was so soft, gentle, a brilliant little old lady but she also had a peppy spark to her - rubbing her belly along the floor whilst wagging her tiny tail to instigate play with the others, or shouting a toothless little bark at the birds in the garden (and Sally now and again). She spent her last month of life in a brilliant retirement home (thank you to Mary, Karen and family), being pampered, showered with gifts and relaxing as an only dog... I will always remember her past - how nervous she was in the beginning after being rescued and how playful and happy she became during her years with us. I will forever miss you Kiwi. 🩶💚🩶💚🩶
