Bonnie – RIP my darling girl, gone but never forgotten.
I made the decision to retire Bonnie and she was speyed on 27/06/2023.
Bonnie was rehomed and lived with her family in NSW Central Coast. Sadly she passed away in November 2025 and has left a very large hole in her families lives.
Bonnie had an amazing temperament with an attitude of not giving up. She was a stocky ball of muscle weighing in at 55kgs, not afraid to give something a go. From running and tackling her mate Locki to the ground even though she’d walk under him.
The Scottish meaning of Bonnie is “attractive or beautiful – a bonnie lass”.
Her playfulness with Locki was an absolute joy to watch. They’d chase each other and when she got that twinkle in her eye; look out Locki she was coming and the chase began. With one leap Locki was over her and gone. Her agility was incredible as she out-ran him just as quick as he’d leaped over her. She was affectionately known as wheels due to the strength of her muscle-bound rear end.
Our Bonnie lass was a spirited gal who loved to please and give cuddles though would not lick you. In fact, at meals times she is already sitting in her spot, waiting for the cuddle and her dinner to be served. That act rubbed off on Angus because he does the same.
