I'm writing to you with a broken heart. Our darling Shardia died on Sunday night 24th February. We are all devasted.
We loved that absolutely gorgeous dog with every inch of our hearts and we are all so desolate now. She made our
day, from the moment she came into the bedrooms in the morning to check on us and wake us up, until the last
goodnight kiss when we put her to bed. She loved each and every one of us back and would welcome everyone
home in the evening with a raucous greeting of jumping and running and barking. She would check on us during the
night to make sure everyone was where they should be and would bark if you didn't acknowledge her nudge. She was
loved by everyone who came to visit and even people who weren't dog lovers, would comment on how irresistible she
was and were won over by her antics and beautiful nature.

I can't express how blessed we were to have had Shardia in our lives and how grateful we are to you to have
given us the opportunity. She was a very special dog and we miss her dearly. I cry daily and I don't think I will ever
get over the sudden loss of her. I know we had her for only a short time of her life, but you have no idea how much we
loved and cherished our darling Shardy. Our whole family was smitten with her. We just loved her to bits. I know how
much you loved her too. We will have a hole in our hearts for a very long time.
