Farewell my Friend

I can't believe that I am writing yet another post like this so soon after loosing my Lucy. May has not been a good month in my household for all sorts of reasons and I can't wait to see the back of it and then last night my lovely cavalier,Barney, passed away. He was the gentlest, kindest dog I have ever met. Never the brightest spark, bless him, there wasn't one bad bone in his body and he was a good friend to us all for so very long. He was very old and I know he had a long healthy life and with his doggy dementia and  increasing neurological problems over the last few months he was probably ready but I am going to miss him so much.we all will. So travel  well my old friend because if anyone deserves a place in doggy heaven you do xxx
