Yup, they're fantastic little monsters and it's tragic that they can't
go on forever, so very sad and so very, very unfair.

Before we had Poppy & Rosie (our two labs) there was a break of a few
years but before we had them we had Lucy, a Welsh Springer who I grew
up with.  We had her put down when she was 14 due to her mounting
health problems which meant she couldn't walk properly anymore.

One morning when I came down to let her out she just couldn't stand up
and there was a sudden realisation that was obviously going to be her
last day.  After carrying her back to the car from the vet in a
blanket she joined the many pets who have been buried at different
locations in the garden.

For weeks afterwards while walking around the house I noticed the lack
of a dog wandering around behind me, following me and getting under my
feet.  No need to close doors or anything.  A real emptiness, it does
of course fade over time like many things but for such little critters
they do leave a huge gap.
