So, my dear little Honey is gone – she went ever so peacefully wrapped in a big huggy jumper with the kindest of vets and not really any idea of what was happening. She had been ill for quite a long time but still ‘there’ and still enjoying life, and then suddenly, she wasn’t – she couldn’t get better so I had to make the call. I know so many of you ask about her in comments and have been so kind in including her in good wishes.
She was the sweetest thing, a real character who expected to be treated like the absolute princess she was. We are okay – it was so clear there was nowhere to go and having had a bonus 2 and half years thanks to a kind and wonderful vet it’s feels a natural end. Honey had a little bit of stardom, featuring in the Daily Mail (dressed in a ‘sleepover’ set – much to her horror, and mine to be honest but that’s what paid for her sister, Coco, to come and live with us so it was meant to be) and The Telegraph in a feature about being a first time puppy owner. In my life, I never expected to have poodles – I fully saw myself with a labrador but allergies ruled that out and we did completely fall in love with this quirky, bright breed. We never knew really how such a tiny dog could take up most of a king size bed, leaving us clinging to the edges. We were happily twisted around her little paw – she was a good dog, a kind little soul and we are so lucky she was ours.
So please excuse any service interuptions – I’ll trying to get back to normal quickly but I’m just very, very tired because these past few months have been hard. I’m going to sit at my desk as normal tomorrow and see where it takes me. x
