So many tears it's unbearable, I keep expecting him to come nosing around a corner.Our wonderful boy has gone, born on January 10th 2010, nothing could have prepared me for how we lost you this last month, you were always the most freespirited little guy, you ruled the roost and you made our home happy.
Chronic stasis took your spirit away these past weeks and it hurt me so much to see you so unhappy, but there were days in between where the real you shone through, the other night when I was reading and you came and sat on the arm of the sofa and asked for nose to nose rubs, I laughed because you had never done it before. Just yesterday morning you were mountain climbing on me and exploring.
I feel relief that you are free from it all, but I am devastated that I have lost a part of my family, my other favourite guy is gone and I'll never see you again.
Last night I lay with you my arms, nose to nose and I knew I would have to say goodbye, I could see you were leaving and I could no longer make you stay. I thought we had years together, plenty of time to fight arthritis and give dental disease whatfor!
Every morning I woke up and you greeted me with a new day of chewed t-shirts, a quick poo in the lounge litter tray and just enough time to sit on top of the sofa and survey me getting ready for work, a fight to get you back in the kitchen and always a second "love you poo!" shouted around the door as I tried to make my escape.
You kept me company in my nocturnal times, sitting on the back of the sofa while I read till the small hours or worked on the computer.
But I'll never have that again. I did my very best for you and I should thank you for all of the laughs and amazing times you gave.
Like I told you when I held you and you sniffed at me for the last time this morning;
You were loved, you have been so loved!
