R.I.P Lucy

Our hearts are broken as we said farewell to our beautiful dog Lucy today.

She was a wonderful dog always up to mischief, loved to chase away the cats and pigeons in the garden but was also so loving & affectionate, loved a cuddle.

She had a beautiful send off and died peacefully and calmly in her Mom & Dads arms with Nanny & Grampy by her side.

Now over the Rainbow Bridge chasing those cats and pigeons to her hearts content 

She will be greatly missed
