Caprioara Winter Solstice
Why the name Winter because she was born when we were experiencing the Beast from the East back in 2017, and being a blue Winter was the perfect name.
Winter's dad was Soda and her mum was Dreamer and she was one of 8.
Winter was a lovely marked blue girl who wasn't shown much and she had a litter with Houdini and we kept a tri girl Magic ( also sadly passed)
Winter was the top girl here, the others all looked to her for guidance and if they got out of line just one of Winter's withering looks would be enough for them to stop what ever it was they shouldn't be doing.
Winter loved life, loved being out on the field, loved enjoying the sun and really loved sitting in the chairs lording it over the others.
She was fun to be around she was kind and very nosy. She was just so bonded with all the other dogs here and with us, she was very obedient and loved her food and treats.
So one day at the beginning of Feb 2025 I noticed that she hadn't eaten her dinner and her eyes looked different, so I took her to the vet where she had a normal temperature had no pain and so she had a scan where there was found a mass on her spleen the size of a large orange, vet couldn't say how long it had been there, it was inoperable, so just a matter of time, gladly Winter didn't know this, and I had time to spoil her give her everything she loved and make the time count. Which is what we did, she was spoilt rotten. It was heart-breaking for us to just sit there and watch her knowing what was to come, but it was our job to do this. On the 9th of Feb 2025 we said our goodnights as always and in the morning Winter had passed in her sleep, peacefully with her half sister Secrets by her side so she wasn't alone.
With her passing I have lost the last link to my old original collies I started with ( Captain and Jet ) So Winter I loved you I still love you and I will always love you. My once in a life time blue girl born in the storm ( Beast from the East) that time will never forget. R.I.P Winter.
