Sad news

We've had a very emotional day today. Wallace was worse again this morning and Hugh and I rushed him up to the vet. After checking him over and discussing his problems it was decided that the kindest thing for him was to stop his suffering and pain. We brought him home for the afternoon so that everyone could say their goodbyes and spend some time with him.
Jon, Emily and I took him back to the vets this evening where he was put to sleep. Although we are all so sad, we have some comfort knowing that he is no longer in pain or discomfort.
.
Thank you Wallace for being part of our lives for 9 1/2 years. We're really going to miss you as you were very much a part of our family.
RIP
xx

  2. I'm so sorry to hear you have said goodbye to Wallace. It's so hard to say goodbye to a pet - they are definitely part of the family! I only have my phone today but will write later when I have my laptop back.

    Thinking of you all
