Jessie joined our family in June 2012 and the time since then has flown – we can’t image life without her in it.

Jess has been taken in by Fionna when she was found straying at about 18 months old and was rehomed not long after. Unfortunately, four years later her new family had to bring her back to Lizzie’s Barn due to serious health issues, which meant they couldn’t give her the attention she deserved.

Despite all the change Jess has had to deal with, she settled in with us incredibly quickly – a testament to how relaxed she must have been at Lizzie’s Barn. That’s not to say she’s without her issues (recall? is that a real thing?!), but then neither are we, and we’ve all relaxed a lot over the years. As I write this she is sat on her chair (there’s no doubt as to ownership!) struggling to stay awake after scoffing down her tea. Perfection for her is an evening in front of the telly – us on our sofa, her on her chair (with the odd visit to us for an ear rub). It’s hard work I can tell you!
