Silver...RIP

This morning my hubby phoned me to say that our very much loved pet, Silver, whom we left in England with mum & dad, had gone to sleep last night and didn't wake up this morning. He was 18 years old and had been thru a pretty bad car accident a couple of years ago but he pulled through. He had a very good life with us and with his latest carers so its not too distressing.

The kids were obviously upset but when I said that he was over 100 years in human terms they were a bit more happy about it especially as he had such a loving family.

I had hoped he'd have hung on for another couple of weeks until we got to see him again but he obviously thought better of it but at least he waited till Pete got there...good timing as he's only there for a few days !

A very quiet burial was performed in the back garden this morning around 11.40am (Saudi time). Silver was wrapped in a fresh white shroud and a couple of bunches of, I think they were, 'forget me knots'.
I'm sure all his friends will miss him, especially the new puppy, Jack Russel...which I suspect helped along in his demise, and his sister Budget who survives him and lives just next door but one, so she can visit him whenever she likes.

Okay, RIP Silver, you will be missed but you had a pretty good life and you will be fondly remembered...especially for ....

Weeing on or in plastic bags

Weeing on or in any bag left on the floor

Weeing on & in shoes ... mainly Pete's work shoes (of which he noticed a very strange smell when the shoes warmed up whilst at work one day after having the weekend to dry up the wee)

Weeing ontop of the oven... several years ago when we almost sent him off packing just a little sooner than he should have ! But he sorted himself out on that one... eventually.

Oh and very bad breath ! We did get this one sorted last year at a cost of over £500 for vets fees.

We still loved you and know you loved us too !
