Lottie was above all else a big softie. Very shy of people and I felt very much like her protector.

If there were visitors she would hide behind a chair. If people stopped in the street she would attempt to slip the lead or hide behind your legs.

She passed on in ’99 when she had to be put to sleep due to cancer. She was in effect Jason’s mum. Ever patient, never aggressive, she love to run, play and cuddle. She was my girl.

She came to us at about five years old needing a home, but i think she gave to us more than we ever could have gave back.
