Over the last 17 years and even more so during the last 10 months we have enjoyed the company of Dotti, our loyal Kelpi x Cattle dog. Niki brought her home one day from a horse camp and Dotti has been the leader of our pack of dogs over the years.
During our trip around Australia we never thought that, at 17 years of age and advanced arthritis, Dotti would accompany us almost on the complete trip but she did. For 10 months she has visited over 200 campsites across 7 states, traveled over 30,000 kilometers, warmed Marjo’s feet in the bus and most important of all was our loyal, friendly and easy going dog for all those years.
Today Dotti passed away after arthritis and a brain tumor made it too much to carry on. She is buried along the Snowy River in the town of Orbost.
We will remember Dotti forever for the great dog she was.
In the water:
And on land.
Always eager for food.
And whatever we did to you.
You were always eager to play with us.
And although you loved to hide.
You were always eager to join us in our travels.
Rest in peace our friend.
You were great company.
And will surely be missed.
