Thank you

Just want to thank you all for you kind words and support at his very difficult time for us.
Ruairi was and still is a very bright light in our lives and we're going to have a good friend of ours who is a wonderfully talented artist paint a portrait of Ruairi with our other beautiful boy Dillon, who is Ruairi's uncle.

I just hope this tragedy ever ever happens to any of your beautiful reds.

Cherishing he days with him and weeping… Continue

Dogs on a very cold morning...

Annie admiring the sunrise

The Swiss 'lowlands' have also had their share of snow and yesterday morning was really cold with temperatures around -13°C. Still, nothing like the -25°C in the Swiss Alps.
