Have just posted the following in Travelling with Pets. Our loved female Corgi passed away on 5th November. She was a gentle, friendly, wise and peaceful dog, who I am sure could tell time. A seasoned traveller she (and we) enjoyed many travels together. She is being and will continue to be missed.
