Most of you will know by now that our beautiful little Shih Tzu, Oliver, passed away on 18th August 2022 after a sudden deterioration in his already rocky health. For some weird reason, FB wouldn't allow me to post his memorial tribute on this Page (though it could be Operator Error, I am known for technical ineptitude, even more so when my brain isn't really working...!)
We, very much including his Westie sister, Sophie, are missing him terribly. Even the fact that suddenly our lives are easier, and we can do more, feels wrong. But none of it is wrong. It's just grief. And we wouldn't want to not grieve for him. Soph is having homeopathic help, Elaine and I are choosing not to. Where we are, feels right.
He's still around us. Only this morning, this appeared on the living room floor. He brought it with him from his foster home (well battered by other foster dogs!) when he came to us 6 years ago - he carried it around a couple of times at first but then ignored it, and Sophie never bothered with it. Yet this morning, here it is.
Hi, gorgeous boy! We love your Hellos from Heaven! Please keep them coming! Love you always ###xx
