When I needed it most you, my regular readers and blogging buddies, both old and new were all there with your comments and concern and it helped.
Thank you.
Those of you who met Suky on day one of her being with us feel like a part of the family that she grew up in. Those of you who met her briefly through my more recent posts on different blogs are like the friends that burst into a home and take a dog immediately to your heart, caring not one jot about dog hair or your food being eyed up greedily.
Thank you.
Those of you who met her in person when you stopped by our eminently recognisable home in Wales and gave her cuddles.
Thank you.
Now to pour all our doggy love into this girl, our beautiful Mavis who is grieving for her best friend.
Thank you for being the givers and for sharing your time and thoughts.

The perils of not reading my favourite blogs for a day or two.
ReplyDeleteI’m so sorry for your loss. xxx
That happens to me regularly, don't worry. Thank you. ❤️
DeleteSo tough for you all...
ReplyDeleteIt is, but everyone both here and on our regular doggy walking routes where Suky is being missed, are helping. ❤️
DeleteSending hugs to you, Sue, and dear little Mavis xx Angie
ReplyDeleteThank you Angie. ❤️
DeleteI am sure little Mavis will be getting extra hugs and treats, bless her.
ReplyDeleteShe's been getting a few too many little foodie treats since Saturday, but luckily at the vets today her weight is actually down and not up. :-)
DeleteBiggest hugs x
ReplyDeleteAlison in Wales x
Thank you. xx
DeletePoor little Mavis, I guess she needs time too.
ReplyDeleteShe really does. At least she has started eating again now. 🙂
DeleteI am so sorry to here about the loss of Suky. She was a well loved dog: that was clear to see.
ReplyDeleteThank you. xx
DeletePoor Mavis. She must be so confused now her best friend is no longer there. I am sure she will have much love and attention but it's not the same as having Suky by her side.
ReplyDeleteThey were a good team for each other. Because Suky was deaf Mavis was her ears, because she was short-sighted having a white dog to follow really helped. Suky being so calm and steady meant that Mavis looked to her for reassurance, especially in new situations and places. She took the fear away from Mavis on a daily basis.
DeleteI am so glad we have been a little help to you.
ReplyDeleteWhen Daisy died the support and love I received from our blogging community stopped me in my tracks, picked me up when I fell down, and helped me bear the unbearable.
Despite all the dreadful things which happen in the world there really are some lovely people in our little corner of it.
Now sending hugs to Mavis, after all that little girl has been through, this must be so worrying and confusing for her. xxx
She's sat next to me in her bed at the moment whining, she very confused. 😔 At least Alan got back last night after a couple of days down South, so we went out for a coffee earlier on and Mavis really relaxed for a while. ❤️
DeleteDear little Mavis, it must be so difficult for her at the moment. sending love and hugs to her as she starts getting used to her new beginning. xx
ReplyDeleteShe's appreciating every hug at the moment, thank you. ❤️
Deletepoor little Mavis, i love her dear little face, i hope she soon feels happier xx
ReplyDeleteShe's enjoying a lot of extra little treats. 🙂
DeleteAw, poor Mavis; she must be missing her companion. Please give her a gentle hug from me.
ReplyDeleteShe really is. Thank you, hug given. ❤️
DeleteOh how very sad. I'd missed reading this week, as we have been on "Full Time Grandparent Duties", and they are 100% exhausting (as well as fun). You will all be grieving, but for Mavis it is particularly hard as she had no way of seeing the future and realising it would happen. Suky has been such a constant companion, you will be looking around your feet to see where she's got to, and your heart sinking yet again. Love and cuddles to you all, human and four legged. XX
ReplyDeleteThank you. ❤️ She's continually checking behind us on every dog walk for the little Pug that used to plod along at her own speed. 😔
DeleteI also wanted to say how very real the grief for a loved pet is. Don't underestimate the depth of your pain. It is very real. There's no avoiding it, and no way except one foot in front of the other. XX
ReplyDeleteWe've seen so many of our pets and livestock grieve for their family members over the years. Their pain is as real and raw as ours. 😔
DeleteJust getting caught up on your latest posts and so sorry to read about lovely Suky. I suppose the only comfort that I can offer is to say - what a wonderful life she had - and what a lovely final day and that you were both with her at the end. No pet could have asked for more.
ReplyDeleteShe had a good life, that is our consolation. ❤️
Delete♥♥♥
ReplyDelete❤️ xx
DeleteIt is always very sad to lose a beautiful and loving pet, so sorry for your lose my heart goes out to you (Sandy from mid wales ‘
ReplyDeleteThank you. ❤️ xx
DeleteI am so sorry. I just read your other post. Losing your baby must be hard. How is Mavis doing and especially how are you. Not to be sappy but I'm crying over this and I never met you or Suky.😪
ReplyDeleteWe're coping, and Mavis is getting all the love. There have been lots of tears. 😔
DeleteHave only just caught up,so sorry for your loss Sue sending lots of hugs to you both and Mavis and Ginger
ReplyDeleteThank you. ❤️
DeleteI'm so very very sorry - I missed the post as I've been away. Losing pets is so hard - I lost my three cats in19 months, She was a beautiful pug and I hope she is so happy over the rainbow bridge Fiona x
ReplyDeleteIt's oh so hard isn't it. 😔
DeleteIt's so hard isn't is Sue, my heart goes out to all of you ♥ It's especially hard on Mavis and Ginger losing their best friend, big hugs and kisses to them xoxo Linda
ReplyDeleteThank you. Mavis is just starting to come around a bit and realise that she is now the dog that gets to eat all the treats and doesn't have to share, either the food or Mum and Dad. She's booked in the groomers next week for a pamper session too.
DeleteNo words. Just hugs for you and sweet Mavis. 💔
ReplyDeleteThank you. ❤️ xx
