Getting there...

Since Friday's news things have been slow here. Bella has been by my side non stop since then and we have been giving her as much love as possible.

She is not well either, she has an injury to a knee and also some swelling of her spleen, but with medication seems to be recovering nicely.

The kids are dealing with the news okay, we have had some tears on and off over the weekend. But they are talking about Angus freely and remembering fun things they did together.

It will just take us a while to adjust to not having him in our lives anymore.

Have you suffered the loss of a pet? How did you deal with it?

Tears

There are tears flowing here today. Our beautiful black Labrador Angus has left us and I am just to sad for words.

Both our dogs got out of our yard yesterday morning and I spent all day looking for them. At about 5pm last night I received word that Bella had been found a few streets over from us, but that Angus was nowhere to be seen. It turns out that he was hit by a train and had to be humanly euthanised on site. They think he broke his back.

I can't believe he is gone and I feel so sad for Bella too. They have been inseparable since we bought Angus home 5 years ago. She just looks so sad. 

I haven't told the big kids yet as I found out after they were at school. B is in Perth until tonight too.

Sorry that this is all disjointed, that is just how I am feeling at the moment...
