Yesterday Woozer - my sister's dog but also beloved family pet - died. She had recently celebrated her 15th birthday, and we hoped she would be with us for a bit longer. Despite her numerous health problems - including tumors and sores, bad hips from when she was knocked down as a pup, and many other things - her great and valiant spirit kept her going. Although she could only move slowly, she was always keen to go outside for a walk and her infirmities never prevented her from begging for food. She always got up to greet visitors and family when they entered the house, and was already to add her mite to any excitement or commotion among the other dogs.She will be greatly missed.
Above is a photo taken last April when she attended Mungo's book launch of Mango, The Unlucky Monkey.
Below is a photo of Woozer as a pup, playing with one of her siblings.

They are lovely photos of Woozer. I hope she has been reunited with her siblings and mother and her other departed friends.
