Our beloved Bonnie went over the rainbow 22 May 2025. Just under 13 yrs old. Rescued from the RSPCA to become a wonderful, very obedient, intelligent Black Springer Lab. She listened and understood every word I spoke to her. Never on a lead, always very close by. She loved her food, but mostly her ball. She loved to roll it down any slope for you to pick up and throw back for another roll. She loved her squeaky toys, and talked to them, and if you played & talked the language back she talked more. She loved long grass and leaped up & down so we could see her just for split second and back under the grass- her game of Hide & Seek. She loved the water- the sea especially, jumping off high rocks, diving under water, bubbles blowing out of her nose, and pick up pebbles from the bottom. She swam yards out after her ball, and would surf back on the waves. She lived with me & was right by my side through thick & thin. Then when I met Steve & Misty (Misty blue Merle Collie who passed a couple of years ago), she then became particularly close to Steve & followed him everywhere. Unfortunately her back legs would no longer carry her brains & rest of her body any further & the glint in her beautiful brown eyes started to fade, so did that constantly wagging tail. She travelled all round Europe with us & walked to the top of Ben Nevis carrying the same stick from top to bottom (the photo shown at the top of Ben Nevis). We both miss her terribly. Broke our hearts losing her. She can now run around in the lush fields of heaven till I join her. XX
