Greetham Valley’s black labrador Jazz has had a very sad weekend – she and her owners have had to say a final farewell to Beau the Weimaraner who on Saturday went to the big kennel in the sky. In his heart Beau was still young and little Jazz had given him a new lease of life since the summer. But at 14, his body just gave out and we had to say a very sad goodbye.
We are consoled by the fact that he had 10 years longer with us than we ever expected him to – at 4 years old he fell off a 60 foot cliff in a nearby quarry, breaking 3 legs and popping all his tendons. Miraculously, his spine and insides were fine and, thanks to excellent vet skills (and accompanying bills), after 2 months he was just about put back together again, complete with pins and plates..
Jazz and we will miss him very much, he was such a part of the family, but we know he’ll now be happily frolicking with Meg, our previous much loved Weimaraner, who passed on 2 years ago. Life must go on and we have very happy memories of the old boy….. No doubt Jazz will be spoilt rotten for the next few weeks as we try to take her mind off looking for him!
A month ago, we decided that young Jazz, our black labrador puppy, was spending far too much time smooching with Golf Club members and Hotel visitors and had actually started to forget that she is in fact of the canine variety. So we enrolled her at puppy playgroup, run by the lovely Julia at 
Greetham Valley’s black labrador Jazz is now 21 weeks old and learning all about life on a busy hotel and golf complex. So many people to meet and greet with a big smile and waggy tail! It can all get very exhausting for a young lady, even if that ever-wagging tail does help propel one along.
