With many apologies to those you have already offered me their much-appreciated support over on Denial Daily and those who have already heard this news...


Today our beloved dog Bonnie went to her final sleep at home, in my arms, where she had been for most of the morning. She was nearly 16 and had become increasingly frail over the last six months. We felt this was the kindest course of action, as to risk her somehow injuring herself when alone was simply too great to take. She was mostly blind and deaf and had significant problems with her rear legs, so she was a very wobbly old lady. But saying goodbye is always hard and we will miss her horribly.

I see from my LJ that it is just over five years since we last endured the main of losing a dog. But after Jake came Crisp, and we're sure that Jake will have another companion, hopefully in the not to distant future. He and Bonnie were great together and Crisp spent most of the morning cuddled up to both of us on the settee.

Thank you to everyone who has already sent their kind words.

I didn't know she was 16! I'll always remember Bonnie with great fondness, she was lovely. Big hugs to all of you, such a sad day, but I'm glad she was with you to say goodbye.
I was thinking about you. *hugs*
