My Pets

Cleo collapsed on Tues 16th March 2005 .....called the vets out .They got her back to the surgery ... they threw everything at her. X ray showed 100s of tiny cancers in her chest. Vet said that if she hadnt been in such good condition (irony) she would have shown long ago... but she was never in pain .He thought that the hormone rush from her last season ,which had just ended , had triggered the collapse.
Wednesday 17th I went to the vets to be with her. Laid on the floor with her.
Talked to her about the beautiful Welsh hill farm house where she was born... I sent her spirit back there. I called the chap on Thurs... always kept in touch and sent letters and pics at Xmas. He lit a lantern for her to find her way home and walked the dogs out to ''meet'' her on Thurs
Her full name was Gaelic .... Caecilaltdu... means ''field where the spring rises''...she 1st swam in the pool as a 6week old puppy.
Cleo died in my arms ... loved, stroked and safe.... the last thing she heard was me telling her how beautiful she was
Cleo was only 8 1/2 and had never had a day sick in her life. it was all over in 24 hrs.At least she didn't suffer. Cleo was the light in my soul .... a very special Lady.
