I was given some very sad news this morning. My uncle’s beloved family dog, a Weimaraner called Jessie (and star of this post), passed away last night.
After a long and happy life full of running, playing, bouncing about and nicking food whenever anyone wasn’t looking, Jessie became too old, too pained and too poorly to join in any more. Last night it was decided that she should embark on her Forever Sleep.

As a dog owner now myself, this is all too poignant for me: Dogs are our companions, our confidants, our comfort, our court jesters, our best friends and most of all, our family. And yet, their lifespan is heart-breakingly short when compared to that of our own species.
If you have a dog, give them an extra-special tummy-tickle and rub behind the ears today. For Jessie.
