Here are my favourite photos of Minnie. Unfortunately, the cancer in her nose proved too much for her and we had to take her to the vet to be put to sleep. She battled on, but couldn’t breath and had too many sleepless nights.
We ‘borrowed’ her from Manchester Dogs home around four years ago and then decided we couldn’t send her back, so we had to adopt her. She lived a very quiet life, in fact, it was about three months before she even made a sound, when she barked at Dave when he came in the house.
We still can’t believe she was there in the first place. She was very well house trained and highly independant. We only ever needed to put her on the lead to cross the road, or to stop other dogs having a go at her. She did have a bit of a tissue fetish though, which we never quite worked out. We’d get up on a morning and the top of the stairs would be covered in used tissues that she’d tear into strips. Still, you’ve got to amuse yourself in this life. She did have to go on Hormone Replacement Therapy though, which was amusing.
She always slept a lot and liked a brew and toast in the mornings, but doesn’t everyone?
I don’t know if they have the internet in doggy heaven, but if you’re reading this Minnie, we hope you have met up with Pippa and are having a great time barking at cats again.
