It is with an incredibly heavy heart that I have to type out these words. Over the last couple of years I have mentioned my darling little King Charles Cavalier Coco, who recently was diagnosed with Syringomyelia which brings on convulsions and pain. She has been a permanent fixture on my side bar and that photo has made me smile so much. She has been a faithful companion, a comedian, a confidant and incredible friend. This morning she was a usual self, happy to see me come down the stairs and get her medication but she then started convulsing and within minutes was taken from me. I can't describe the words I am feeling right now so will just leave you with the last photo I took of her two days ago when she was playing hide and seek.

Understandably I will be taking a blogging break for a little while, but in the meantime, give your furry friends a meaningful hug, you never know when they will be taken from you.
Oh Chel! I am so terribly sorry to hear of your loss...I can understand how heavy your heart must be feeling right now...
ReplyDeleteIt is so painful to lose a precious animal!
