Ebony
Ebony was Tanith's daughter and Tanith was a very
special dog. So was Ebony.
She was always very protective of us, but she loved
attention and got on with just about everyone. She was
a much respected lady and she and her mum spent many
years in each other company.
She was one of Tanith's first puppies to be spoken
for, but in the end her new prospective owners never
materialised to collect her. So we decided to keep her
ourselves.
We could Take Tanith and Ebony anywhere, as they were
always good dogs. I am proud to have had the honour of
living with them both.
Ebony did bond more with Julia than myself. But we we
were involved in the move from Kent to Leicester.
Julia and myself had to separate for a while. Then She
for a while at least became my dog.
It must have been confusing for her that Julia
suddenly was not there any more. But I will never
forget that when Julia came back to Kent for a few
days over Christmas. Ebony became very excited to see
Julia again, and I think she really enjoyed that
Christmas.
Sadly
her mum had to go to sleep for the last time and we
were both devastated to loose Tanith. I still miss
her, I miss all my dogs, but as I said before Tanith
was a very special dog.
Very soon after Tanith Died I was made aware of a 0
week old puppy who needed a Home. He is still with us
that is Ben.
Ebony was a bit Aloof of Ben to start with, but they
both helped each other through a difficult time.
I would have preferred a bit more time for Ebony and
myself to Grieve the loss of Tanith, but it was not
fair to Deprive the 10 Week old puppy Ben who needed a
home.
Ebony left us last year (2012) She was nearly 16
when in effect her body just wore out. Her mind still
seemed quite sharp, but she had lost control of her
Body. It was not nice seeing her deteriorate
daily and in the end we realised her quality of life
was not any longer anything to speak of.
We went to the vet with her and left without her. but
she died in my arms.
