Evening all, my dear boy died this morning sad aged only 7.

R.I.P beloved Squeaky Fatarse, you will be missed.

Animals do seem to know; I remember when my mum died, our dog went and lay on her chair (he wasn't allowed on the furniture) and absolutely refused to get off.

Thank you all.

Oliver Sprout still very low, not much appetite, and curled up on the sofa on what was Digby's cushion, Oliver Sprout usually favoured the one on the left of the sofa, Digby the right.sad

Oh Phoenix, I`m really, really sorry to hear this, things were sounding so much more positive lately. Take heart from knowing that your boy knew that he was so loved and cared for. Poor Oliver Sprout. x

So, so sorry phoenix. Sounded as though he was doing much better. Must have been such a shock for you all. flowers

Again, thanks to all. Anno thank you especially for your comments regarding previous posts.

Lovely boy that he was, he was thick as two short planks, bless him!

I remember posting about his failed attempt to get onto next doors roof via the roof of their van, if anyone can find it, I would appreciate it.

Nelliemoser Mon 05-Feb-18 22:22:26

Oh Phoenix . lots of ((((hugs))))) You loved and cared for him. There was not a lot else you could have done for him.

Oh phoenix I’m so sorry to read your post. Digby was so lucky to have had such caring humans. I hope O Sprout won’t be too lost without him.

phoenix, I was planning to pm you to find out the latest news about Digby but now I'm so sad for you and Mr P. He was a much loved member of your household and I always enjoyed reading your anecdotes about his activities - or non-activities. He had a lovely life with you. xxxxx flowers

So sorry phoenix. Xx

seacliff Mon 05-Feb-18 20:56:45

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

NanaandGrampy Mon 05-Feb-18 20:55:38
