Sad news from home. Our dear old dog Jacquie had to be put down as she was very poorly. She would have been 16 years old in May this year, and we had hoped that she might survive until we returned, but it was not to be.
We have wonderful memories of her though. She was a great lizard catcher, and we well remember the time she came out of the bush with Hedgehog spikes stuck in her mouth when she thought that she was a hedgehog hunter. And flatulence was one of her occasional contributions!
Known as the "Queen of Groom Street" her morning exercise was to wander up the street to determine who had invaded her territory overnight, cock her leg (this was a female dog?) and overmark the predators. In the early light of day her white bum always gave away where she was.
Lovely memories of you Jacquie and it is good to know that the last few months of your life were spent being loved by Greg and Jeannie and those other Crows Nest residents.
Farewell.
