Our lovely gold boy was taken before his time in a very tragic accident in June 2007 whilst we were at work.  To say that we are devastated is an understatement.  Our thoughts and hearts go to his breeders in New Zealand who gave us our gold boy. We are grateful for the time we had to love our gorgeous gold 'Cellybear' and we treasure our memories.  He is in our thoughts every day - until we meet again 'Cellybear'.  All our love and hugs and kisses. 

 

Sadly this accident severed the relationship between us, Ashard and Espaniel NZ.  Without much ado, Ashard Kennels decreed that they could not forgive the accident that lead to our decision to put Celly to sleep and hence we are no longer exhibiting our lovely Bunny dog.  Here at Macdolly we can only express our sincere condolences and also our sadness that our friendship was not strong enough to get through this tragedy.  We wish the NZ connections the very best in their endeavours and we will be forever grateful for our Celly and our Bunny.
