Winston

[Jasmine]

[mad as a catter]

I am so sorry to hear your sad news. But I am very grateful to you for looking after him so very well, right until the very end, you met all his needs, feel proud of yourself for that.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. I miss the dear old boy very much as he was a constant presence in my life and so much of the household revolved around his needs. My old lab girl is quite flat and only brightens up when we go for a walk.Jess continued to sleep in the big bed but I couldn't justify one small cat sleeping in a very large bed on his own, neither of the other dogs would go in it in spite of regularly using it when the old boy was alive! An elderly new foster arrived yesterday and headed for the toy box that was Winston's preserve and it was bitter-sweet to see his toys being thrown around again.

Once again thank you, sharing thoughts with people who have been through the same is so helpful and I hope that in the past I have, and in time to come, will do the same.

Sally.
