‘EVIE’ THE BESTEST LITTLE PAL IN THE WORLD

 

Steve and I would like to thank everyone for their efforts to find ‘Evie’, especially Roy and Doreen and the doglost team. The posters did work in the end, even though it was not the outcome we wanted, at least now we know where she is, at home in the garden where she loved to play and was last seen tossing a fallen apple in the air then pouncing on it!

 

Evie was not just a beautiful show dog to us, that was just a bonus; she was a beautiful person, so full of life and energy but so incredibly loving too. Some might know ‘Evie’ by her nickname ‘Evil’(short for ‘Evil Knievel’) this was because when she was a puppy, she would fly around our living room, leaping from one sofa to the next, clearing the coffee table in between, she would regularly raid my handbag and has chewed various items including spectacles address books wallets and purses and would often raid the car, just in case one of us had left half a sandwich or some crisps in the screwed up wrapper! But it didn’t matter how naughty she was, all she had to do was look at us with those beautiful sparkly eyes of hers and all was forgiven, I still have my address book with her teeth marks in, we’d say it’s ‘been eviled’! Whenever I sat down she was always by my side, with her head on my lap. She slept on our bed at night; always lying between us (sometimes with her head on the pillow!) she was almost human somehow.

 

Extra special dogs like ‘Evie’ don’t come along very often, and quite often don’t stay long either, but they touch our lives in such a way, it’s hard to describe. Our time with ‘Evie’ was such a special time, and our memories will be with us forever. As I write this the tears are streaming down my face, it’s just so hard, so please understand when I ask you next time you see me not to speak about ‘Evie’.

 

I would like to thank all of you for your messages of support when ‘Evie’ went missing and your subsequent messages of sympathy. I would especially like to say a big thank-you to my friends Angie and Graham, Lynda and Sherree without their support these last couple of weeks I don’t know what I would have done.
