hello my dear friends...
I hope that you are all as well as can be. I am sorry that I have not been online for a while but things have not been great..
Then last night, I had to do the harrowing job of taking our beloved Ra to the vets to be put to sleep. He was beginning to suffer and we would not let that happen.
We loved him dearly and he will be greatly missed in our house..
I am heartbroken....

I don't know when I will return, but I will, I promise..


You have all given me such support and I cannot thank you enough.

Bless you all..


Bye for now...


Your friend
Tony.

Xxxx

    Dear Tony, words fail me.
    You know you did the right thing regarding RA. You had to put him first.
    I really am so, so sorry.
    Take care, ((((()))))

    I know how you feel Tony my little old boy is a little older than RA and I have never loved anyone as much as him. I don't know what I will do when he has to go. You have done right by him Tony. you gave him a good life but his time was up. Words can not make it any easier it takes time, focus on the good times you had with him.
    Bless you.

    First off, Tony, I am so sorry to hear your ra has gone. But, you did the right thing for him. He's in a better place now without any pain etc.

    Secondly, you never ever need to apologise for absence. And you yourself have always been there for all of us too, don't forget that.

    We will all wait patiently for your return. (well, I don't do patiently) but you know what I mean. You are missed but we do understand.

    Sending you and your wife some big hugs.
