My lovely brother Neil who I unfortunately never got to meet but he will always be in my heart and in my thoughts. Love you loads big Bro xx

This is a post that is difficult for me to write... Recently, I just lost my beloved grandmother who passed away on Aug, 26, 2017 of illness and we will miss her terribly. She was one special lady and the loss of her is felt deeply by many, even though she lived a full life.  For the past coup...

We knew she was the one the first moment we spotted her in the large group of puppies in the play area. “I want that one,” I said as I pointed at her.
