The end of an era

Not a good start to the week at all. I had a Dr's appointment at 9.50 but before that I took Chester to the Vet's as his mouth had been bleeding all week-end. He's been cheerful enough and even ate his breakfast this morning but when the Vet managed to prise open his mouth there was a massive tumour, which the Vet said was undoubtedly malignant.

I can't bear to look at these old toys any longer now. They'll go in the bin alongside other memories.

You were a great companion, Chester, and now you'll be enjoying' the Kennels in the sky.' Goodbye, faithful friend. I'll miss you. ( I'm typing this through the tears.)

Good job I'm going on holiday soon.
