The doghouse

Goodbye lovely H.

My parents' lovely collie was pts yesterday. He had lost all quality of life, had no joy or ability to walk. It was the kindest and bravest decision they could make for him.

Although I know all that, I am so worried for them. He was the light of their world-especially my DDad. I'm awake and crying like mad because I worry about how much they are missing him and how they'll cope. God knows I'm missing him and he wasn't my dog.

I don't even really know why I'm telling you all this. I think I'm hoping if I get it all out I might be able to stop crying and get some rest.

Anyway, goodbye beautiful boy. I'm sure you can chase balls in heaven- although you haven't on Earth for a while. I'm positive you're already making someone throw 3, always 3- never more or less- before you'll go and round them up. May it be populated with rabbit holes for sniffing and treat balls for bashing.

Aw its so hard isnt it..hopefully your parents will be able to take some comfort from the fact that they gave him a lovely life and made the best decision for him. It will take time though.
Flowers for you and your parents.

Love to you and your parents QoL. They leave such a gap in all our lives, don't they? I'm absolutely sure your support will mean everything to you folks. My lovely old JRT is currently touch-and-go and my DD has really got me through it. Here's to three balls and rabbit holes and treat balls! xxx

Thank you for your kind words. We are off to see them today (was arranged ages ago). They want lots of company.
