We knew it was coming so we've been discussing it and were as ready as we could be, but still a sad day...

One of the gentlest souls I've ever encountered and will be missed. Here's a few pics from a photo shoot at 'Ella and Friends' a few years ago - displayed here with permission.

My sister in law and hubby have a rescue hound and I appreciate what you have done for your friend.
Thank you
Steve

For those on facebook, the Photography place that took the pics I posted have made a post about Tawny - I wrote a quick blurb for them about her. Don't have a link but for those that want to, search for 'Ella+friends photography'

Thanks, yes we had some great pics taken that day but I always thought Wes (Pug on the left) looked like an Ewok in that pic. 😁

How did you get the buggars to sit still for the pose ?

The photographer had infinite patience. It took quite sime time for them to settle down enough to do anything with them. The shoot went for a couole of hours -was a lot of fun. 😊

Sad news Gav,
they leave a real void in your life as they are such wonderful companions.
You don't realise how much you talk to them until they are not there.
Sounds like you and Yvonne gave Tawny an absolute blessed life after her competition days were over.

Cheers,
Mick and Jill.

Sad news Gav, Tawny couldn't have landed in a better home. Best wishes to you guys.
Lee and Hel
