Today is a milestone in my adult life.
For the first time that I can remember, I have no pets, at all.
The reason being, we lost Tiggy Woo today after a battle with various things wrong with her.
I am utterly mortified that once again, just before my birthday we are full of woe and grief at the loss of a beloved furry.
I will miss the little 'face like a smacked arse' for many a reason...
The fact that even though she had been through a really tough time before coming here she soon settled in, even with a big dafty black labrador flolloping about.
Even after we lost her sister she didn't let that get her down, or when we lost DB the labrador last year she even, much to out amazement took on the characteristics of the pair of them becoming noisy (like Schmoo) Begging for food like DB, and generally being an absolute sweetheart until today, when we finally had to admit defeat and help her knowing it was only going downhill from here with regards to her health.
I wasn't with her when she went in, which in some ways I will regret forever but in some ways I am grateful for.
So to Simon, such a loving furry daddy thank you
& to Tiggy, I will miss you as I do already & the house will now be deathly silent for quite some time.
Sleep well Tiggy, DB & Schmoo are there for you now hun xxx
