Basil

Old age comes to us all, and sadly our pets don't have the life expectancy of us humans. So old age came all too soon to Basil. Yesterday, at the age of 15, he was helped to go to a more comfortable place. Sue and I brought him home and he is now laid to rest in a corner of the garden, where he will continue to be with us for ever. Sue is going to put together a few photographs for this blog. as a memorial to Basil,  in a day or two.

My condolences on the death of your beloved Basil. My sister especially enjoyed meeting him over a year ago when we were there. He seemed like the kind of dog that even I, a cat lover, could learn to love. :)

Blessings and comfort on you both.

So sorry about this, but it was the right thing to do. It is the last act of kindness we can do for our beloved pets. It's a road I have had to take several times over the years, but fortunately we all have our memories and photos, and the knowledge that we gave them the best possible life while they were with us. I'm thinking of you both at this sad time.
