Our gorgeous, doted upon ten-year-old Labrador had to be let go yesterday.
And even though we know we did the kindest thing for her, our hearts are breaking in two.
She had diabetes, her eyesight had gone and her bladder was failing. She was deeply unhappy and had stopped eating. It was time for her to go, but we miss her so so much already.
There only Me, dh and the two teens at home and our girl was ruined by all of us. The kids kissed her goodbye every morning and told her they loved her, she loved them back - a touch of her paw on their knee when watching TV or a lick of their fingers as she lay across their knees (even if she was the size of a Shetland pony)
We buried her in the garden. I can see her resting place from here. It's all so raw just now but I want something special to mark her place. She was our first family pet and has grown up with ds who is inconsolable.
Hold your dogs closer and walk them that little bit further - I hope our girl is sprinting through fields and rolling in sheep poo til her heart is content 💕🌈

Goodbye our beautiful girl 💕
