So very sorry Phoenix. Sounds like Digby packed a huge amount in to his seven years. Poor boy, he was loved.

I am so deeply sorry Phoenix, allow your self to grieve and remember the love to and from your boy x

Thank you all for you posts, they are appreciated.

I had to tell Mr P when he came home, not a good moment. sad

Unfortunately Digby's death wasn't as peaceful as I would have liked, and Oliver Sprout got quite upset.

It's bloody awful, but losing them is the price we pay for the time we have with them, and the job, love and laughter that they bring to our lives.

Aw Phoenix I am so sorry to see this sad news. Love to you and all those who will miss your dear Digby. And poor Oliver S - he will be lost without his comrade in arms. flowers

So sorry to hear this. I read your previous posts and really hoped he would recover. RIP Digby.

Tippy22 thank you for your good wishes.

The vet had said that he had months, rather than years, but we had hoped that we might have him for a bit longer than this, especially as he seemed to be doing so well.

Oh so sad to hear this, poor little fella.

I know how you feel, it's awful. The downside of having pets in our lives, that we have to go through this heartbreak at times. Condolences to you all, and I bet Oliver Sprout will miss him too.xx
