Some sad news


Just wanted to take a moment to say how heavy-hearted I am that yesterday, my family took the sad decision to put Jemma down. She had deteriorated so much recently, apparently even more so just in the short weeks since I was there visiting. She was really struggling to move, and although she still had that same old "spark" to her, when the vet found she had osteosarcoma (bone cancer) we knew it was time.

She died just 2 weeks after her doggy-friend Pickles and on the 8th anniversary of my brother Greg's death, so I can cheer myself with the thought that maybe they were there to meet her, arms open/tails wagging.

Thanks, Jemma, for being a fantastic family pet for the past 14 years and for bringing us so much cheer and so many smiles!!
