Hi Woofers.
It's Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here.
Holly Chops hasn't been feeling too well of late and what we thought was a tummy upset never really got any better.
She went to the vets this morning to have a blood test and a scan on her tummy which has been getting bigger over the last few weeks.
Lunchtime we got the results via a phone call, Holly had got a tumour that was very large, encompassing her spleen, liver and kidney.
The vet said that there was nothing she could do as a treatment and maybe it was the best time to let Holly head off to the Rainbow Bridge and wait for us.
We went down to say our good byes while she was still under the knock out drops.
She wasn't in any pain but she had been slowing down, no running and going up stairs was slow and sometimes Old Two Legs had to carry her up in his arms.
Holly came to us when she was a year old, she had been living with Martin and Lisa and the boys, Thomas and Matthew.
Settling in with us was fun, you see she had this idea that any food she saw was hers! OTL soon sorted that out but as far as food or treats go, she was still driven by her tummy!
It took her a little while to get used to the car but once she settled down, she enjoyed trips out, singing our driving songs and blowing raspberries at the truckers as we passed them!
Walks along the beaches were fun but Holly just never got to go in swimming, maybe a paddle but that was it, no further!
It was strange that she didn't mind the snow, rolling in it was great fun but water, no!
Holly's ashes will rest in the big urn in the garden together with the ferrets so, we can always have a chat with her and let her know what is happening.
Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
