I am only now in the right space to let you know that both of my Border Collie dogs have now passed away.
Rosie, who was Vinnies’ mother had been gradually getting less mobile, she was suffering from a spine complaint where her back legs would give out on her. It was a very hard decision, but at the beginning of July we decided to put her to rest. She was just over 14 years old. I miss having my dogs and many of my past guests would have fond memories of playing with both Vinnie (the great retriever) and Rosie (the gentle old lady) in the back yard.  RIP.
