This week is crazy and I am just about getting through so thankyou everyone for being supportive and understanding. It's a struggle not going to lie and i wanted to post something for our girl days ago but , I honestly have struggled to even look at photos since losing our special girl, this has hit us so so hard, It's taken me this long to even write this because I can't believe she's gone. It doesn't feel real but I needed to honour Daisy and share some beautiful memories . Daisy came into our lives 11.5 years ago when a good friend of mines dog had given birth to a beautiful litter of pups, we went to see them and immediately Daisy picked Chris, it was love at first sight , little did he know I decided there and then to get her for his upcoming birthday.
We struggled with a name but one day Chris was driving home from London, we were on the phone and both said we had an idea for a name, we said after 3 say the name..... we both said "Daisy"! Never discussed it, never mentioned it, from that day on she became our crazy Daisy โค๏ธ
Daisy had the absolute best character, loyal to the core, ouzing with love for us and anyone she met, she was my original shop dog and would greet everyone who came in, anyone who met her, instantly loved her. She was a good girl, never a problem, hardly knew she was there half the time, never barked unless there was a real reason to bark. She was accepting and tolerant with every new dog that has come into our lives, absolutely adored Maggie and mothered her, she would have made a great Mummy, even taught Penny how to go outside to toilet, she really took Penny under her wing when we took her in. Penny is lost without her & Jasper, her 2 teachers.
Her favourite things were the seaside, snow and her Daddy, always by Chris's side, his soul dog , his office is going to feel very empty but I know she will still lay there next to him while he's working.
We made some amazing memories with Daisy as we try to do with all our dogs. She w
Video message from me as I just needed to talk rather than keep texting everything. Truthfully this is so hard so please bear with me, I am sorry if I have depressed anyone but I am just being me and being real. ๐๐พ

Excuse the heavy, baggy eyes.... been a tough few days.
Our hearts are broken and I can't believe I am writing this, very suddenly and out of nowhere it was time for our boy , he was absolutely fine the day before and barking for treats , yet it was time to make the hardest yet kindest decision and let our boy go with the dignity he always had. All such a shock, Our brave, Gentleman Jasper.... it doesn't seem real... ๐ข
We will miss you every single day Jasper especially meal times, they will be so quiet now, you would bark until you got your food, I was never ready for Jasper to come into my life as I had never had a boy, he was hard work and I remember my friend telling me to be patient because he would be the most loyal boy and by God she was right, I was so lucky to be loved by him and thankful he chose me that day. Jasper came into my life at such a dark time and although he was so naughty, I believe he was sent to me to distract my thoughts and keep my mind away from the dark side, he definitely brought the light , He literally saved me and for that I will be forever grateful.
I have hundreds if not thousands of photos of Jasper as he was so photogenic, loved a dress up and we did so much together, so to choose a few was hard.
Run free my always number 1 boy , reunited with your girls, I made sure you had a pair of my socks for your journey , we will love you for eternity ๐๐พ
Here's a little poem I wrote in memory of our boy.... always in our hearts ๐๐๐พ๐
"Our Kids have Four Paws and Fur ๐พโค๏ธ"
For our boy .....
Jasper Man, Jassy J , our little Eyyore but to me you were always my boy....
The one who brought so much joy..
You came into my life unplanned, saved me at such a tough time
But once your mischievous character started to shine,
You made me smile again when I thought I couldn't.
But there were lots of things you did that you really shouldn't!
My ball loving, sock thief you were a pro...
Then again as long as it was mine anything would go!
You were so naughty when you w
Here I am again! ๐๐พ๐
Of course the dogs had to have a go at Apple Bobbing .... joking aside though, this is great stimulation for them and good brain exercise. Of you think yours might chomp the whole lot though, use tennis balls ๐
Daisy was our champion! She loves it.
Join me in my Santa's grotto ๐๐

Come for a walk round with me.... I don't have a huge place and not a "shop" as such where you can walk in but happy for you to pop by if you're local, drop me a message and we can arrange...... oh excuse Louie whining in the background, he's terrible if not within an inch of me! ๐คฃ
Our old boy Jasper, always loved a ball when he was younger and still does, at 13 years old, almost completely blind, diabetes and a poorly chest, he does so so well and still has that playful spark in him...I use so many natural products to help him stay healthy and happy... I'd say I'm not doing too bad... I love to see him like this, he's definitely happy ๐ , we love you sooooo much, Jasper ๐๐พ
