If you have been following me on twitter then you’ll probably know our dog died yesterday. He was ten years old and just became very sick over the last four weeks. The vet suspected a tumour and put him on medication but it wasn’t working. He was just starting a second course of medication yesterday. But he did not look good and it was very depressing to see him like that. He was always such a happy, big fella. We thought we had more time as, true to form, he was still begging for bacon yesterday morning. But in the afternoon he took himself off to his kennel and just passed away. He was a loyal, devoted and loving to the end, even when I wasn’t.
Jerry, if I could feel your slobbery, wet, smelly chin on the knee of my best trousers right now, I know I’d be alright with it. Miss you.x

Rob: I am sorry to hear about your loss. Pets become such a part of our families. Thinking of you and your family. (07/12/10, 2:37 am)
Claire: I've often thought it a cruel trick that we fall in love with our dogs from the first time we see those cute puppy eyes and from that moment we're doomed to have to say goodbye to them at some point. They are family members as much as any human and Jerry will have taken a little bit of your heart with him when he went, and left a little piece of his with you forever. RIP Jerry x (07/12/10, 5:18 pm)
