Your Pet Tributes

(Essex, UK)

Stumpy came to us 5 years ago after being abandoned by a family next to my mums house. She was very ill when got her however we got her back to fighting weight pretty quickly.

We had 3.5 years of very good health and then her kidneys started t0 fail her. Very gradually got worse, however after 5 years 3 months and at the ripe age of 15 it was a lung tumour that took her from us today.

Stumpy was such a joy to have in our life. She would greet you when you come home, greet you every morning and always wanted to find a warm belly to sleep on... of which my husbands seemed to be her favourite. I was always her favourite when I had a cream cake.... which we always shared.

I realised today that I never said I loved her just before she passed, I was just too upset and just cuddled her with tears streaming down my face. So Stumpy I just wanted you to know that I love you very much, you were our dear sweet girl with a huge personality and you have left a very raw hole in our hearts. I promise you we will fill that hole with all the 1000s of memories we have.

I know I'll see shadows of you everywhere and I'll always smile when I do. I'll always see your slow wink, your ear deafening purr, which is my favourite sound in the whole world, the way you always crept up on daddys stomach. The way you always move your head when we strolled you so we would scratch your itchy ear. I could go on forever.

My only regret is that we didn't have you longer and wish we could have had you from the start. We love you Stumpy, so very much.

Big kiss my sweet girl.
