Remember the amount of times I used to fall asleep sat in the armchair after a nightshift only to wake up hours later to find Holly snuggled into my neck fast asleep as well.

Such a unique dog with such bizarre habits, least your socks won’t be covered in dog dribble anymore Dan!

Great photo and I know how much you guys will miss her but you’ll always get to see her when you visit your dad.

I still get an empty feeling when I walk in the door and sheâ€™s not there to greet me though.

I can see why. She’s a sweetie.

Ah man, you tapped my inner-sap. I am a dog guy, and I often feel bad for our dogs. They used to be our “kids” before we had kids, and had every ounce of attention we could give.

Now the attention is measured in minutes, not hours. They are good sports and they have the boys to play with, but sometimes they just look at me, and there is sadness in their eyes.

Perhaps I shouldn’t have read this at work. Thank goodness there is no-one in my office at the mo.

It’s been a year since Bryn went and I think about him a lot - at least we will still see Holly.

She’s a lovely dog and deserves better than what we could give her right now. Thank you Alan x

Aw, sometimes even when we do stuff for all the right reasons they can feel tough.

Sounds like Holly’s going to a great home though. :-)
