So sorry for you and your family mate..
We got a rescue cat in August and she is a great addition to put house. I’d be gutted if anything happened to her.
My brothers Staffie (Bullet) had to be put to sleep last year, he was in Germany with work when he went rapidly downhill.. We all went over to say bye to him, he was so tired and didn’t know what was going on. He managed to hang on until my brother got home though.
Best natured dog I have ever known, friendly, docile, playful, attentive, funny and always up for a cuddle. Never once growled or snapped at any of the kids who used to play with him and undoubtedly wind him up.
Rest in peace Bullet… Sadly missed.
My thoughts are with u and ur family at this sad time.. Made worse by the fact your working away! Take care.
