Last tribute to Lady. LOTS- some old some new

[cackleberry]

Well, my poor baby girl got put to sleep this morning. She was a very brave girl and wasn't scared at all.
I thought i'd honour her memory with a few (million) pics. Some you will have seen before, a few definately new!

Not in any particular order but here we go...

Schooling at our first yard.
