Sash

Sash was the German shepherd that we since since Kayleigh was about 3 years old. He was about 2 years old when we got him - he had been an abused puppy and was very scared of the hose.

Kayleigh loved him and he was very protective of the kids. One time Kayleigh was in trouble and her dad was going to smack her bum. Kayleigh ran and hid under her bed and Sash put himself in between Terence and Kayleigh. Terence tried to get Kayleigh out from under the bed and Sash growled at him - there was no way that Terence was going to get to Kayleigh without having to deal with Sash.

Sash passed away in April 2009, aged 13 - he may have been baited, or he may of died from old age - we aren't sure but our vet was suspicious as he had not been sick beforehand. Kayleigh was very upset and here is her diary entry from that day . . .
