Remembering Dolly 

My heart is in a thousand pieces.  

​

My precious Dolly crossed the rainbow bridge on Wednesday 9th October 2024.

​

As Dolly was a rescue, I never knew her real age, but was told she was around 8 when we first met on the 18th February 2017.  That would have made her 15 years & 8 months when she passed.  No-one could believe her age & thought she was much younger than her years as she was so agile & sprightly.  In late September, Dolly went off her food & didn't seem herself.  A blood test revealed she had kidney disease, which rapidly progressed to stage 4 kidney failure.  She had no common symptoms prior to this, but within two weeks of that blood test she was gone.  

​

I grew up with dogs in the family, but Dolly was my first dog.  She changed my life in more ways than I could ever have imagined & was the inspiration behind Dolly's Dog Grooming & Spa.  

 

Dolly's favourite place was the beach. She would run like a young pup across the sand & loved sitting in the sun, she even loved joining me on the paddle board!  I have so many happy memories of our time together.  I never knew of her past, but I wanted her life with me to be the happiest yet & for her to experience the best of everything.  She was my best friend & was always by my side.  If you have your woof beside you, give them an extra squeeze in Dolly's memory.  

​

To my girl,

Life will never be the same without you by my side, I will love & miss you always.
