The saddest of days.
Today was the saddest of days. We buried our dear darling dog Winnie, whose mobility and quality of life had massively deteriorated over the last few weeks. The vet came to the house this morning. Winnie is at peace now - no more struggles or pain.

Winnie the Dog
After the burial I couldn't really settle to anything in the garden. Planted more of my vegetables in pots (spinach, lettuces, and more potatoes). Then went off to do my driving across town commitments. I saw so many black and white dogs, out walking with their owners. Sad smiles, realising how long it's been since Winnie was able go for a proper walk.
Memories...
I have so many wonderful memories of a wonderful dog - bringing me tennis balls, running round the garden to wait on the other side, silly slalom running, swimming in the pond... And she cared so much about her people. Rest in peace lovely Winnie.
