We lost our beloved Polly today aged 10 years, a delightful happy laughy blue roan cocker spaniel, who loved to listen to music and watch TV her especial favour was Columbo she knew the times and days.

She came to live with us with her birth sister Maggie but always was the baby, Maggie was like her Mother always cared for her.

She was actually watching a programme on TV when she suddenly without any warning gave a shiver and passed away. There was a song being sung at the very time "The sunshine of your smile" and she certainly brought a lot of sunshine to our lives.

We know we will never have such a little friend like her ever again.

She is lying beneath her favourite tree in the garden.
