It gave us a nice memory to keep of Steve and Maisie. He heard her coughing as we sat in the dining room and when I went into the kitchen to check her there he was on his knees talking to her as she lay in her basket. <br />We've shared some great dog days.

I cannot say that it gets any easier with time. As a child my father had the hard decisions to make but now they are mine. I could not bear Maisie to suffer and am glad that her illness was so brief. For such a little dog she leaves a very large space.Share my Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817611851604816123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833049860541499858.post-78934735014362125562012-12-19T07:52:24.300-08:002012-12-19T07:52:24.300-08:00Quite a character, quite a life, but not long enou...Quite a character, quite a life, but not long enough.Share my Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817611851604816123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833049860541499858.post-63722478577361019382012-12-19T07:51:26.540-08:002012-12-19T07:51:26.540-08:00Dear Steve, How lovely that you raised a toast to ...Dear Steve, How lovely that you raised a toast to Maisie, now I can feel that she was appreciated on both sides of the Atlantic.<br />Still weeping.Share my Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817611851604816123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833049860541499858.post-75587431809687922752012-12-19T07:43:26.164-08:002012-12-19T07:43:26.164-08:00Dear Dash, thank you for your message, for which I...Dear Dash, thank you for your message, for which I am very grateful.

She was still up and about her usual patrols - if a trifle slower; she was always particularly good on "meet and greet" where we all got a very waggy tailed inspection upon entering the house, in fact her whole body wagged and she sort of rhumba'd round the room (how do you write the adjective for doing the rhumba)?<br /><br />I loved seeing all the old photos of her, specially the ones when she was broody and protected all her toys by hunkering down with them in her basket - woe betide any of us trying to sneak one out - she was a perfect Mother Courage.<br /><br />We will come and pay our respects at the walnut tree next time we come to see you, <br />love Janet<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833049860541499858.post-53260413214981247652012-12-14T09:23:51.798-08:002012-12-14T09:23:51.798-08:00I'm so sorry to read of your loss, what lovely...I'm so sorry to read of your loss, what lovely memories she left for youLilacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15782125673448880397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833049860541499858.post-14687874450708232512012-12-14T03:37:07.171-08:002012-12-14T03:37:07.171-08:00Dear Rosemary, I am so very sorry that you lost yo...Dear Rosemary, I am so very sorry that you lost your beautiful Maisie.
