Alice

Sad news again I’m afraid. Yesterday, following a short but rather nasty illness, we had to let Alice go. After a period of increasing arthritis that spread to her lower spine which made it ever more difficult for her to stand up, let alone walk, her quality of life diminished rapidly. I like to think that following her hard early years on a ‘puppy farm’ she achieved some of the happiness she deserved in her later years in a loving home. Here are a few of my favourite images of her:

Sammy & Alice

Sammy & Alice

Alice and Sammy, (see more of Sammy here) her long time companion and partner in crime. And here are a few more of Alice at the beach shortly after Sammy left us, and finally a portrait taken in the garden for some long forgotten reason but a good image none the less :

She will be sorely missed by all those who knew and loved her.

Goodnight Alice and God bless!

    What a beautiful girl, she reminds me of my Luca who died 2 years ago.

      Thank you for that. She will be sadly missed. Its the first time my house has been dog-less for 25 years. But the search for another deserving pooch will begin soon!
      Thanks!
