Title: Good bye Mrs. Potter
Post by: devonlady on December 13, 2016, 01:03:30 pm

Last night my most beloved whippet bitch was taken ill. An emergency visit to the vet and x-rays showed a severe chest infection and we went home with anti-biotics.
I sat up with her but, it breaks my heart to say, she died at one this morning. I still can't quite believe it. She never left my side day or night and there is a huge space which nothing can fill, a space too big for the little scrap that she was.

So sorry, it's always hard, difficult to think it just now but she didn't suffer long, and you were there for her, that's as much as we can do.
Try and focus on happy times with her, silly funny things, push the last few hours into a corner,  I found it helps.
Take Care

Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.

Rudyard Kipling's poem got it right.
