My best friend and family pet Bessie passed away on the afternoon of the 28th April aged 17 yrs She was well loved by everyone who knew her. She was always treated as a family member and lavished with love which she returned ten fold. She was a protector and a friend and would do anything for the affection of children. I miss her so much.

Above Bessie with my daughter Abigail. She loves the snow.

Bessie taking a well earned rest. Notice the tail to

 keep the sun out of her eyes.

At least she is at peace now and no doubt still keeping an eye on us.
