A short sad post

Just a rather short sad post from me today. As many of you know, my fur-baby Tilly the Dog had become very ill with a brain tumour and had deteriorated rapidly, having great difficulty getting to her feet, struggling to move and falling over whenever she did, and the wag had definitely gone from that tail. We discussed things with our trusted vet who has looked after Tilly since we got her at 8 weeks old, and there was nothing more we could do.  Thankfully she didn't seem to be in pain, but was failing so quickly each day. So we made the heartbreaking decision to let Tilly go.  This was done very peacefully at home in my arms, with lots of kisses and cuddles from us all,  yesterday morning - and I'm typing this now with tears falling on the keyboard.  She had a pampered, spoilt and much loved 9 years with us and I wish all dogs could have such a cherished existence.  Thank you for all your good thoughts, wishes and vibes - they have meant so much.  And apologies if I'm missing from Blogland for a little while - although crafting has always been my therapy so I won't be gone too long.  Tilly's Crafts will still carry on - and the name of the blog is extra-special to me now.
