xXx Hollydog xXx

Hollydog was born on 31st March 2001.
I collected her exactly a year after loosing Baby Jessica.

Holly is the kindest, softest most sweet natured dog you could find.
She ate Barbie heads.
She dug in paddling pools and in the garden (she never did find that illusive bone!).
She uprooted new plants, especially the twiggy kind.
She could skin a tennis ball in 2 minutes flat.
Hollydog could pull a child’s sock off without touching their toes!
She sucked babywipes and chewed tissues!
She liked to take herself off for a walk across the fields.
Her favourite pastime was licking out a crisp wrapper.
She altered her course in a split second by you saying ‘this way’.
She loved to swim and had often showered onlookers as she came out the lake.
She tolerated babywalkers, kittens, chickens drinking from her water bowl and the unwelcome additions to the family.
She shot down the garden at 100 miles an hour at the mention of a fox.
You had to spell the word ‘walkies’.
She stared at light reflected onto the ceiling from shiny objects for hours.
She always found the dirtiest, stinkiest puddle to lay in but loved a hose off afterwards.
She chewed sticks in the sitting room.
She would ‘slink’ off the sofa thinking you didn’t see her sitting there (leaving a warm patch of blonde fur behind)
She only ever came upstairs on Birthdays and Christmas, especially to shred wrapping paper.
After my separation 3 years ago, I found her a new Mummy. ‘He’ insisted he kept her in the family home but changed his mind when he moved house and was worried she might ruin his new carpets

Hollydog had a new lease of life with her new ‘Forever Family’, continuing to shred wrapping paper, eat babywipes, lick out crisp packets, watch over the children, share her water bowl with chickens, skin tennis balls and even won a medal for ‘Best Old Girl’.

Holly died yesterday. Suddenly and unexpectedly. In her Mummys arms. Today my Heart is a little bit broken. So is her Mummy’s.

Today I have been backblipping in memory of a very Special Friend. My first 4 legged friend.

Hollydog will have a special place in my Heart. xXx
