Just the three of us

Sadly, Daisy lost her battle with illness on Friday. Her body had just had enough, and it wasn't fair for her. It was a peaceful end for her, and we'll always be grateful for the time we had with her - she was my original "baby".

The vets have been wonderful since her heart condition was diagnosed over a year ago. With their care and compassion, Daisy was able to fight the battle and in the words of one vet "everyone had got used to her being around forever". Several times we thought that we were going to lose her - in fact, last May we were told that she "may have a couple of weeks, but it's more likely she'll deteriorate over the weekend" - but her love of life kept her going.

But last week, things just got too much for her and we had to say our goodbyes. Thankfully, we had four weeks of my dream of human and doggy babies together - and we managed to get one photo which I'll always treasure.

Love you, Daisy x
