Yesterday we lost our gorgeous girl.
Mavis died at the vets at 10am and our hearts were broken.
She has had a poorly couple of weeks, with us working with the vets to keep her as comfortable as she possibly could be. While her mind was bright, her body was slowly failing her.
She had a wonderful life with us, as most of you already know. She played with the sheep in our paddock at our smallholding in Wales, especially the lambs who loved her to bits and waited at the gate for her to join them in games of chase, or 'run down the hill' on our twice daily walks around the field.
She was great with the chickens and regularly shared their titbits.
It was just a good life for a Good Dog. 💖
Ginger has known for the last few days that his little partner in crime was poorly and has been her constant companion. Today he is lost, but I think he realises what has happened. To lose his second sister in the space of seven months must be hard for an old boy.
Reunited. 🌹🌹
Sleep well girls. 💖💖
Mavis
Rest in Peace my Gorgeous Girl. 🌹
With us from 31st December 2013 - 26th February 2025

DeleteMy dear friend, I suspected this was on the cards as did you, but it never ever makes things any easier.
ReplyDeleteMavis had the most incredible life with you, I remember how you rescued a wet, bedraggled rat brought to your doorstep one night, and then you rescued the darling girl again after she was taken from you.
It is exactly six years to the week that I went through the same heartbreak and because I am not as articulate as you are, I'm going to say back to you what you wrote to me then, I can only hope it gives you as much comfort as you kindly gave me:
We give them all the love in our hearts and somehow they double it, send it right back at us and then they go, and all we have are happy memories that make us cry, paw prints we're loathe to hoover up and an ache in our hearts that hurts for far too long.
We will light a candle for you all tonight, 💚 🐾 💚
Thank you. ❤️xx
DeleteSo sorry to hear your news but in her lifetime with you and Alan she was loved and cared for and had an amazing life, you did her proud. Sending hugs. Heather
