I took a moment this morning to look back at some amazing memories! These are all dogs that we have lost but will never forget. It hurts so much to loose the precious members of our family.
I have found loosing the Goldens especially tough as they are just a big part of me.
The children have seen a home of 8 dogs reduce to 5.
It can seem quiet at times and I now only own one of them, although she is a very big NUT to live with so its like having 2 dogs at times.

Share with us a treasured photo to rememeber your dogs that you have lost today xx
