As you will all know, Freddy had been having some problems with his mouth and was due to go to the vets school on Tuesday.  We have been away on holiday for the last 2 weeks, and during that time, his mouth opened a bit more, then closed a bit more!  Earlier this week his face started to swell up again, and we really weren't sure if he had been stung or if this was all related to his "mouth condition".


We got home at 4pm this afternoon, with Freddy looking as though he had gone 3 rounds with Mike Tyson.  At 6pm, he started to scratch his head and was yelping (as he had been doing for the last few days).  I got up to look at him, and quite literally, his head had burst open.


We took him to the emergency vet, who cleaned up the wound and found a very suspicious "matter".  After much discussion, and tears, we made the hardest decision ever.  Freddy went to sleep at 10.30 this evening.


Our hearts are breaking, but we're thankful for the 4years and 1 month that Freddy lived with us - I hope they were happier than the 4 he had before that.


Sleep well, my big handsome puppy, and keep chasing those bunnies .....


 


Sharon & Chas

Sharon Chas and Wilma,


                                I am so sorry to hear about Freddie. It must have come as a terrible shock to you all. All I can say is I have coped with the loss of Tig by literally smothering poor Chad (who is loving every minute, he has even been sleeping with us at night - on our bed!) I think the trauma of wondering where their companion has gone to hits them hard too.


Run free Freddie - God Bless from Em and the rest of the Watts family XX

Thank you everyone for your kind words and thoughts.


These have been the wierdest days of my life I think!  I'm up and down all over the place.  The radio playing Phil Collins' "against all odds" didn't help!  Yesterday I was feeling guilty for feeling ok, and today I've just wanted to cry all day!  Our family has a big Freddy shaped hole in it, and I can't believe how much I miss my boy.


Wilma has been mooching about - looking at the door, wondering where he is.  Her 3 year anniversary with us is coming up and in all that time she's never really been on her own.  As I put her to bed last night, she looked at me as if to say "don't leave me" and that set me off again!!


The kids have been great - more supportive than a nine & six year should be!!  Although 10 minutes after being told, they did ask if we were going to get another one!!  Kids eh?!!  I've lovingly explained that maybe in time we might think about it, but not right now!


We won't be at the walk this Sunday, and at this moment in time we're not sure if we'll make the GALa.  Hopefully we'll catch up with people at another event at another time!


 


Sharon, Chas & kids

Sharon,


          I am exactly the same as you - it is a really difficult time for us all.


I know what you mean about the Freddie shaped hole cos I have a Tiger shaped one!  Kevin has arrived in from a hectic day at work and we sat in the dining room waiting for dinner o cook. Chad never moved to greet him when he came in, he has changed. Kev said Chad has gone boring like Tig did when we lost Charlie. I said I know all he does is sleep all day. It made us both get a lump in our throats again (that's why I have come in here).


We couldn't leave Chaddy on his own at night little boy is in with us at the moment. He cried the first night and has been with us ever since!


I know from last year that it will get a little easier with time, trust me it does - eventually.


Hugs to you all from us all (and a huge one for Wilma!) XX
