Hello all,
Once again, it's been a very long time since I posted on this page...
I wanted to write this two months ago, but every year I seem to become weaker emotionally, and find it very hard to 'face the outside world'.
I wanted to say that another one of our long-term babies here, little Pixie, our "Naughty One", died in March, on the 13th.
She was very old, had badly compromised kidney and liver function, and osteoarthritis.
She had struggled to walk for some time, so we used to take her out in a buggy. She'd hop off when she wanted to and walk around and then get back on when she got tired.
But as soon as we'd turn the corner onto our road here, she'd jump off as quickly as she could and run to get back in! We used to laugh at her.
I wasn't here when she died - I had to go to Italy to help a friend of ours with some issues she had. Pixie became very ill, and her pain became very bad.
She no longer wanted to go out, she was in too much pain. She went off her food. That was not like Pixie - she always loved her food.
My sister Sherry decided it was not fair on her to make her suffer; she was saying she was ready to go now.
So Sherry and my brother-in-law Peter made the appointment with the vet. and they said goodbye to our incorrigible Naughty One.
There are so many memories we hold in our hearts for our beloved babies, and when the pain of losing them eases, only the good times remain.
Dearest little Pixie, we miss her, we'll always love her, and one day I feel sure, we'll meet her again, like all the other babies we have loved and lost now since we started up our charity for sick, old, disabled, and troubled dogs.
