Title: Tess
We bought Tess from the Sunday market. She was in a cage with three other dogs from the same litter but there was no doubt she was the one for us. A mixture of Spaniel, with the soft velvety ears and Blue Healer, giving her the black and grey/blue short haired coat.
She was intelligent, devoted and always a lady. We taught her to toilet in the back corner of the property, never on the lawn! She learned to fetch the newspaper each morning. When we went to the beach for holidays she charged into the surf swimming through the breakers to be near her family.
For 14 years she shared our lives until three weeks ago we had to take her to the vet. She was very ill with a tumour so we had her gently put to sleep surrounded by her loving family.
What a good life she had. How lucky we were to have had her all those years.
