Gone, but not forgotten
If you’ve been reading my emails (and I hope you have) you will know that I have shared some of my life with Archie, our golden retriever.
He has been a joy to have in our lives, giving us the motivation to get out in the fresh air and making us laugh with his antics.
You will also know he had epilepsy, which we were trying to control with medication.
Unfortunately, after 2 fits and then catching kennel cough, Archie died on the 13th March. The toll the fits were having on his body, especially his heart, meant that did not have the strength to deal with the stress and anxiety caused by the kennel cough.
He was only 8 and a half, and although we knew this condition would shorten his life, we had hoped to have him for a few more years.
We are working through our grief, as he has left one hell of a hole in our lives.
If you have a dog, cat or any other pet, give them a cuddle tonight and treasure every moment you have with them.
RIP Archie.
