DDog went to sleep for the last time today and I am heartbroken. She was nearly 7 years old but her cancer had spread and she was starting to get aggressive (because of the pain we think).
She was part French bulldog so her bottom was rotten at times but my god she gave the best cuddles, you could cradle her like a baby and she’d just lay there and let you love her. Her favourite thing in the world was a fluffy blanket, so winter time was great for her because all the kids dragged out their blankets - she’d get on their beds and snuggle all night with them. She loved cheese and ham and if you wanted her to come you’d just shout “what’s this” and she’d come pelting from wherever she was snuggled to see if you’d got a little nugget of cheese for her. She loved the water and so if you happen to be walking her past a stream, reservoir or even a puddle she’d be right in there having a good paddle around.
When she went for a walk she insisted on having the lead in her mouth and carrying it-but only until we got to the park gate, as soon as we got to the gate she’d drop it every time - I never quite worked out her logic for this it was just one of her quirks.
Our house is not going to be the same 😢.
