'Sharon'

by Caroline
(Aberdeenshire, Scotland)

Sharon was born on our farm in June 1996, out of our fabulous working collie....Kim. Sadly we lost her mum several years ago.

Sharon became a part of our lives in a big way, she was ALWAYS there, through the highs and low we went through over the last 12 and a half years. She never missed a day out with the horses, or in amongst the sheep. Her highlight used to be the sheep lorries who came to the farm, and she would always run to greet them with her fellow friend Megan.

We have so much fondest memories to cherish forever of our Sharon.......and we are clinging to them through all the tears and pain the heart that we are currently feeling.

Sharon loved life and even down to her last day with us yesterday, she did so with a smile on her face. It was almost like she was making sure that all her jobs were done...

Last night I sat with Sharon the whole night, speaking to her and stroking her head and ears (as she loved that). This morning I spoke with her and held her while the vet did what she had too. She slipped peacefully away....at 6.55am.

Sharon LOVED to pick up straw...as the pictures below show....she used to pick up a piece and then run backwards while trying to bark.....this was what everyone loved about her.....her uniqueness....

The vet told us the timing was perfect for her.....and that we had done everything possible for her.........and I take comfort in the fact that she enjoyed her whole day yesterday with my OH going round the fields etc. Sharon was my best friend......she was always by my side and at the moment I just cannot imagine life without her........already its quiet..... Her friend Megan looks lost, so will be comforting her just now.....

Sharon has been buried next to her mum, Kim, and best friend Mist. We also buried her with her "bit of straw"...as that was a big part of her life. We are going to buy a memorial stone to put with them all.....as for us its truly the end of an era...

Sharon you were my heart and a big part of me has gone with you...........you will be missed by everyone........rest in peace my best friend......run pain free over the Rainbow Bridge....
