There are simply no words to thank every single person who has sent me such lovely messages over the last week. Your empathy, love and kindness is truly the only reason I have found strength to keep smiling and stay positive.
A pet is never truly forgotten until they are no longer remembered… and I will always, ALWAYS remember Cookie and how lucky we were to call her our dog… she was the most special, loving, silly, long fluffy eared, dotty nosed spaniel and I still am in complete denial that she is no longer here, I still get visions that when I go home she will be there with her awooing and waggy tail.
In memory of Cookie I started flying thermal drones for registered charity Thermal Drone Support Bedfordshire in search of other people’s missing pets. I would never ever wish for anybody to be in the situation that I have been in - the feeling of hopelessness whilst trying to find a missing pet is tremendously difficuly to navigate alone - and Thermal Drone Support Bedfordshire attended multiple locations multiple times for hours on end to support me as eyes in the sky searching across the entire park and areas of sightings whilst the extensive ground searching was underway. I hope that in the future I can make a difference if somebody else finds themselves in the unfortunate position that I once was in. If anyone would like to make a donation in Cookie’s memory I would be very grateful.

I also urge every pet owner to buy their pet a tracker. If I had bought one for Cookie I would’ve known her last location and not have had to endure the most painful 50 days of not knowing where she was. I would never wish this kind of pain on anybody. Tractive (https://tractive.com) are currently offering 40% off their trackers with Thermal Drone Support Bedfordshire’s code: DRONESUPPORT
I will endure this lifetime of missing you Cookie for the privilege of having been able to have loved you for all of your 14 years ♡
To everyone again, a thank you simply isn’t enough and I am just so grateful for all of the outpouring of love shown for Cookie. She was one in a million. Rest in peace Cookie ♡
