DOG HISTORY17 Nov 2018 16:32
First dog the family ever had, I was just a kid...a border collie "Lady".....time went by and then there was "Bruce" a german shepherd...got married and there was "Tara" a jack russell....to be followed by "Jildy" a smashing springer spaniel.....had to part with her as youngest son developed an allergy....she went to a farmer lad and we got christmas card signed "Jildy" every year with a report as to how she was faring......lived 19 years and did really well at the Field Trials. Son got married and moved out....he was immediately replaced by "Digger" ( lived up to his name) a Corgi, and he was followed by a big lump of good natured labrador, "Lucy" who only managed 8 years. The last dog we had, "Monty" managed 12 years and we lost him 3 weeks ago.....age was our concern about taking on a pup...what if we die...what will happen......oldest son assured us that he would take and look after any pup we took on...he is also into having a dog in the house...he has 2 labradors.....so...we are now a happy family once again with our wee girl, Darcy....who will be attending Strictly shortly, to do some ballet dancing...bound to be a winner :)
