Tom

Today we let our wee pal Tom, pass on. About 2 months ago we learned his recurring health problems were more serious and we knew this day would come, although didn't think so soon. He had slowly started to deteriorate recently and was having the odd bad day. He was however still engaged with life and appreciated his special things in life. That made it all the harder when our vet suggested we should be thinking about this day fairly soon - a dilemma I really struggled with.

We decided to arrange the visit at home, to save his usual routine of not eating before a trip into the vets. For us though, waiting for the arrival and then the arrival was painful. The process though was straightforward, peaceful and obviously sad. I'm proud of Ms H who managed to stay with him to the end.

We have since recovered and can be seen up there celebrating his life with a curry looking over old photos - on his first evening with us, he attempted to steal some food off our curry plates! That sums him up, cheeky boy.

The extras remind us how handsome he was and this evening's sunset a sign he is off to somewhere cosy, he loved the sun! See ya Tommy Boy!
