1 year anniversary

I am a day late in posting this blog, but I felt very sad yesterday as it was the 1-year anniversary of Troy's death. I still miss him every single day and say good night to him every night! Love you so much, my beautiful boy!

Dogs Today Golden Oldies

Troy's story and picture is in the Golden Oldies page of Dogs Today magazine. I tried to get it from P@H today, but with no luck. I can't wait to see it, it feels a little as if Troy came to say hi.

One month on and I miss Troy so much! The family feels very incomplete without him.

Troy's ashes are home

Over the last few days I have had so many lovely messages! I didn't realise Troy had this many friends. Don't quite know why I am surprised though...

I brought Troy's ashes home today and it's good to have him back. The house is very empty without him and I feel quite lost without having to look after him, but remembering all the lovely times I had with him helps. I keep looking at the picture of Troy on a lovely card that Pat made me; I just miss him so much!

Today I went to hydrotherapy with Dylan like I have every Saturday for the last three months, and I saw four white doves when I parked my car, which I have never seen there before. In fact I don't think I have ever seen white doves in the wild ever in my life before. I wonder whether Troy was saying hi and telling me that he was fine and at peace! I like to think so.

Cremation and the reality of Troy's death

This morning, Cornel came over, and also my friend Dave to help move Troy's body into Cornel's car; just as well, Troy was very heavy indeed.

We then drove to the Pet Crematorium, where Troy was laid into a little hutch with flowers - it was really lovely! We spent a few minutes with him and told him how much we loved him.

We then chose a picture casquet to put his ashes in which I will pick up from Mark's on Saturday.

When I got home, I had to hoover and clean the carpets particularly where Troy was laying. Once it was all done, I suddenly felt kind of lost as there was nothing to do for Troy anymore. I have been doing so much washing and cleaning for him over the last few weeks and I have been constantly tending to him helping him in and out of the garden, making sure he was comfortable etc that now there is nothing to do, it feels too quiet and empty. The house feels too large with no big furry lump to climb over or blocking the view of the TV... LOL

I miss Troy terribly and it's only now that we have actually sent him off and he is completely gone from the house that it's starting to sink in what's actually happened; and it's only now that I am starting to realise that I will never see him again - well, not in this life anyway! And this scares me.
