It was a shock to learn of the sudden death of Erica who died on the 24th March, having only complained of feeling unwell a few days before, at a local show.

She had spent the majority of her years in Boxers and enjoyed the occasional judging. She still had two Boxers. It was only in the last few years that she downsized to Pugs, as these were much easier to manage.

She looked forward to her days out at shows, meeting up with old friends and having a good chat. She would always be one of the early arrivals and was always willing to help people if they needed it. She also enjoyed her travels abroad whenever it was possible and her most memorable one to Egypt, for she had a passion for this country.

She will be sadly missed by all of her friends in the West Country and our condolences go to her daughters and family.
