Breigha
I can't believe I've sadly got to announce that we lost our wonderful Breigha after a short battle. She had a little op to remove a small lump from between her toes, turned out to be encapsulted soil of all things. Around a month afterwards she started to get a little weakness in her back leg, things were just wearing out and before we knew it things had gone downhill and we had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye.
Breigha means beautiful one in Gaelic and our lovely girl certainly was, both in looks and spirit. A daughter of Echo and Murdoch she was one of the second litter born when we moved into Netherton. With the most gorgeous soft expression and a gentle nature our girl was everything you could aks for in a flatty. She smiled with her eyes and would wrinkle her nose when you spoke to her. Breigha matured into our pack matriach and kept any excess excitement firmly under wraps by just looking at the others, there was no messing with her, even the boys did as they were told. She and Belle were firm friends and you could almost see them rolling their eyes at the youngsters, Belle is going to miss her very much. She was a great mum for about 3 weeks but after that could take it or leave it, much like her mum. I kept from one of her girls and Rio has inherited her lovely gentle nature and I wish I'd kept at least another dozen babies! I do have her granddaughter Charlie who has her grannies beautiful face, however not the quiet confidence, she's got more of her father Lincs bounce and bravado.
Right up until the end Breigha fought to stay with us, but sadly it was just wasn't to be. She was such a loving, affectionate darling of a girl and I can't believe we've had to say goodbye to her, nearly 12 was a great age but not nearly long enough to know her beautiful soul. There will never be another quite like her. We'll miss you darling girl, run free with your other family and I hope I'll see you on the other side. Goodbye Bonce, we love you.
