A thought for us dog owners and other pets
A Dog’s Last Will & Testament
Before humans die, they write their last will and testament, giving their home and all they have to those they leave behind.
If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I’d ask…
To a poor and lonely stray I’d give my happy home; my bowl and cozy bed, soft pillow and all my toys; the lap, which I loved so much; the hand that stroked my fur; and the sweet voice that spoke my name.
I’d will to the sad, scared shelter dog the place I had in m human’s loving heart, of which there seemed no bounds.
So, when I die, please do not say,
“I will never have a pet again, for the loss and the pain is more than I can stand.”
Instead, go find an unloved dog, one whose life has held no joy or hope, and give my place to him.
This is the only thing I can give…
The love I left behind.

Very poignant in view of the Manchester fire during the week.

What wouldn't I give to get my hands on him. Maybe just leave him to Titus.

It is the unconditionality of the bond that makes it so painful I think. It sounds like a peaceful end, Mike in a place she felt loved and safe. Sorry for your loss though.
