Goodbye Jessie Dog

Yesterday we had to make a very tough decision to say goodbye to one of our beloved dogs. She was very sick and there wasn't much that could be done to help her. Jess I rescued from the pound when we were working in the mines in WA a few years ago now (that time before marriage and babies). She was a Red Cloud Kelpie X, a absolutely beautiful girl and she will be very sadly missed by us and her best mate Millie.

Jess as a pup when I first got her

With her best mate Millie on one of or many trips back and forwards across the Nullabour in the ute camped at a random spot when we had, had enough driving for the day
All four of us in the swag in the back of the ute at the Corrigin (WA) Dog in a Ute Muster - it was a very cold night!

  4. I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
    You gave Jessie a great life by rescuing her.
    Thinking of you all, give Millie a huge hug for me. xxx

  5. Oh Anna I am so sorry. We lost our cat of 13+ years in March - a pet does leave a big hole when they are gone.
    Hope all the photos of good times make you feel a bit better.
