FIFI - our grand dame and canine matriarch passed peacefully at home yesterday morning, helped by Mark the Vet, a few months before her 15th birthday.

A 12 week old rescue puppy from Many Tears, brought from Ireland after being left behind with mum and siblings in a ditch after an Irish horse fair. We were her first and only home.

She was the last of our challenging but much loved trio and was buried late afternoon around our lake. We hope she has joined Milo and Sid and is enjoying long beach runs with them on Mull, Barra or Vatersay and fabulous walks through the beautiful forests in Scotland she so much enjoyed.

It never gets any easier to say goodbye. Sleep tight our beautiful princess Another dog in a million. The boys are subdued and we are bereft.
