Today would have been my lovely girls 16th birthday.
We were so lucky to have her in our lives for so long, she lived until she was fourteen and a half...but you know...sometimes even a lot is never enough and you can never have enough of a good thing. And wow was she a great dog.
She saw me through some of the worst times in my life. I saw her through all the worst times in hers.
She provided love and laughter and comfort to my children in a way that no toy, no gadget and no tv programme could. She gave them the enjoyment of outdoor life with runs in the woods, picnics in the countryside and fun on the beach.
She buried herself with xmas wrapping paper as we opened presents, she ate the cats dinner when we werent looking.
She crept upstairs when we went out but came down before we got home and pretended the ball had got up there all by itself.
Now we have Chester and hes a bolt of energy and fun and she would have loved him I'm sure. I wouldnt change him for the world...but I would give all the tea in China to have my Cracker back too.
Happy Birthday Sweetheart. Sweet sixteen. I miss you. x
