One half of couple who retired, packed everything up, went overseas taking their dog with them. We always said we would never return whilst our lovely Jessie was still with us as we would never have put her in quarantine. She had a lovely time with us housesitting all over UK and Europe for 6 years until she finally passed over the Rainbow Bridge.
We still miss her and that is why we still housesit,even in our home town of Perth.
