Really and truly sorry to read this Alex. Its so incredibly hard because you loved each other so much mate.
One of the few things in life i dread on an almost daily basis is losing suzie my staffy cross.
Chin up pal, it will get easier mate, but your sad for a good reason, and the dog will have felt that reason (love) all her life, and thats a good thing.
Lynne, that made me cry.
