On Friday morning I got home from work and took Her Ladyship for her morning constitutional. On the way home her back legs gave up. Ever optimistic I thought I would see how she was when I got up in the afternoon.
Later she could only get around with the help of an old towel round her middle to take the weight off her back legs. The vet inspected Lady and, despite me thinking that we would be on our way with a bottle of anti-inflammatries and some pain killers, I was advised that the kindest thing would be to let her go.
There is such a big void in this house. For sixteen and a bit years Lady was our first concern on waking and our last at night. RIP old girl. You had a good innings.
I was too upset to post on Friday evening.
