Dumas the Sheepdog
Southern Grace Bed and Breakfast guests have always had a spectacular greeter come to their car and walk them to the front door. Dumas was the pool lifeguard as he always waited for the guests to get out of the pool before he dare left poolside. Dumas escorted our guests on their long walks and to the fishing ponds as if to lead them or take care of them to not get lost. For the many guests that came during thunder storms he was the entertainment of a lifetime, he chased lightning and caught raindrops.
Last night, Dumas walked with our guests down the long private road and played and ran like a two year old. On the way back he collapsed and we had to get the truck and pick him up. He died this morning and we are so sad! Dumas outlived his breed life expectancy by about 3 years.
I know that our guests that have visited have all loved him, but one couple. He has been entertainment and brought much laughter to all. Please see what Dumas says about breakfast at Southern Grace Bed and Breakfast. http://www.southerngracebb.com/breakfast.php
Saturday night, Dumas had his last hurrah for chasing lightning. I always knew he would die still thinking he was two. He was high spirited and Southern Grace Bed and Breakfast loved him! I have never cried when I lost an animal, I was raised on a farm and animals had their place and usually it was soon to the market or whatever. Dumas was special, we loved him dearly and he loved us.
Southern Grace Bed and Breakfast will still go on with Dumas’ memory. If anyone knows where to get a special Old English Sheepdog please let me know.
