Yesterday morning was blissful, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and our first crocus had come into bloom. Then in the afternoon my in-laws’ thirteen year old Rough Collie Sherry passed away peacefully in their garden.
I have written previously in this post that Nathan’s parents had owned Rough Collies for over thirty years and in all this time Sherry was the oldest rough collie they have ever had. So we are thankful that we shared so many joyful years with her and that she passed when she was ready, it is just so sad for the life of such a lovely creature to no longer be present.
Thank you Sherry for being a truly wonderful dog and for being the first pet I had the privilege of sharing my life with. You were sweet, kind, loved companionship and welcomed Monty wholeheartedly into your life. You were so very patient with Poppy who loved to shower you with so much affection and kisses that she would often sit as closely as possible to your face. Sometimes we worried that you would tell her off, but you never did.
Rest peacefully Sherry, we love you

Oh what a darling dog….rest in peace Sweetie, hope you are running free now with no more aches & pains. Forever young. My thoughts to you all & particularly to Nathan's parents…they say if you don't want your heart broken, don't get a dog. And now I've got two…oh dear. Lovely post Morwenna xoxo
What a sad loss. Though so glad it was a peaceful passing. My thoughts are with you and your family, sweetie.

Dearest Morwenna, I am so so sorry to hear of Sherry's passing…so hard to lose a dear pet, no matter at what age! My heart goes out to you! Sending you a big hug!! Love, another Sherry xx
I love it that Sherry went out into the garden- she wanted a peaceful place to spend her last moments….and they say that there is no closer place to Heaven than in a garden. Please share with them our deep sadness for their loss. Hugs and Love,
