Thanks to everyone from Alis and myself. Alis is particularly feeling it because Erba has been her shadow for 17 years, from a little puppy that could be carried in a pocket to the dog that came to share a digestive biscuit for breakfast every morning or the roast chicken from the market every Monday evening. In fact in the last few years we often thought that she kept going just so that she wouldn't miss out on the roast chicken every Monday

There are an awful lot of memories there. In fact the first photo of us all together as a family includes Erba (she was already 4 years old when I arrived).
She always went nearly everywhere with us and it was only when we went overseas or started going away for long trips in the Morgan that she was left at home.
