Our Dana for 12th August was offered by the Vikrantha family in memory of their darling Nancy girl.

Nancy was the “puppy” of the OG Kinross crew who ruled the decibel level down the lane. Thrown over the gate when she was tiny, Nancy charmed her supposed foster family into turning down several rehoming opportunities. She was a gifted hunter of birds and a fierce protector of her loved ones (many visitors & friends have had their ankles nipped for getting too close).

Rest in peace darling girl, after a long and fulfilled life. Thank you for the love you shared, the madness you made the norm and for the laughter you brought us. In our hearts, you’ll always be our little puppy girl.
