This cheeky little lady was Socks.
She was a 9 year old black and white domestic short haired cat.
She was owned and loved by Linda.
Initially she was bought as a kitten as a companion for Linda’s elderly mum. However being a young active little kitten proved a little too much and so at 6 months she came to live with Linda.

Sadly Socks had started to have seizures with no obvious cause. Despite medication they continued so a difficult decision was made.

Socks was a little nervous of new people so we wrapped her in a little towel all snug and Linda and Auntie Sue (who was really her second mum) gave her a cuddle and talked to her while I gave her some sedation. She passed away quickly and peacefully.

Socks joins Nigel - Linda’s partner who sadly passed away 8 years ago.
Hopefully Nigel had a hand full of chicken ready for Socks.
Together they are reunited and I know they will be watching over Linda.

This gorgeous girl was Chica. She was a breed I haven’t met before - a Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen. She was 14 years old.
She was owned by mum Kerry who loved her to pieces.

Sadly Chica was off her food. She struggled with sight and hearing loss. She had started losing her balance and Kerry thought she might have had a stroke. Her backend was weak and she wasn’t able to make it to the toilet.

Kerry got in touch to arrange for a home goodbye. She passed away very calmly and peacefully.

She is now running free ❤
Keep watch over your mum girl.

Then and at the end.
This was JD - a gorgeous 16 year old blue Staffy.
He was very old and his body was failing. He was losing weight, his back end was weak and he was struggling. His right eye was having issues and his quality of life was gone.

His dad Ben made a very selfless and difficult call to me to come and help him say goodbye.
He sat on the sofa with his dad and gently passed away. No more pain. ❤

This stunning Main C**n girl was Tabitha or Tabsy.
She would have been 22 in March. What a glorious age to live to.

She was owned and loved by Heather, Stephen and thier son David.

Sadly her age had become of her and she had rapidly deteriorated. She had really bad osteoarthritis and poor mobility and she wasn’t happy.

We said goodbye together at home with fear or stress and Heather with her girl every step of the way.

She was laid to rest with her bother Sylvester. Reunited in death. Together forever ❤

This was Roly.
She was a 15 year old black and white domestic short haired cat.
Owner and loved by Paul and Judy.
She was feral to start with - a very much on her own terms cat.

Sadly she has suspected cancer and was losing weight and had vomiting and a poorly tummy.

When I arrived she was sitting on the sofa on her blanket in the conservatory.
Paul wrapped her in a little burrito while I gave her some sedation. She fell asleep and passed very peacefully in her home and she was laid to rest in the garden.

This princess was Pepper. She was a very sweet girl and had a lovely soul.
She was with her mum Anita from 5 weeks old!
She sadly had mammary cancer that wasn’t treatable.

Anita wasn’t going to let the tumour take over and so called me to say goodbye.
I’ve sadly been to help Anita before with her previous Shih Tzu Domino.

Pepper was lay on her mums bed. She had some sedation and went to sleep. She then had her final injection and passed peacefully with Anita’s words in her ear, touch on her head ❤

This silver fox was Duke.
He was a 15 1/2 year old Staffie cross.
He was owed by Ange, Craig and thier children Grace and Jack.
They had had him from a tiny 8 week old puppy.
Craig named him after a previous dog he had loved.

Sadly Duke had become neurological and developed a right sided head tilt, was unable to stand up or walk and had had a seizure. There was nothing more that could be done except give him a dignified and pain free goodbye.

I gently put Dukes catheter in and Craig wrapped him in his blanket and cradled him, with Grace stroking my him while he had his final injection.

He passed peacefully in his dad’s arms.

This was Toby (right).
He was a 14 year old Belgian Shepherd.

Being such an old boy his back legs were failing and he was struggling to go to the toilet and get about.

His mom Fiona knew his time has come and she got in touch to say goodbye. She has rescued him from abuse and would never allow him to suffer in ill health when elderly.

To Fiona - Toby was the one who rescued her and he was there through bereavement and the hard times and he has been her life.
Toby also took his babysitting duties seriously watching over her granddaughter Mia.

He passed away peacefully and leaves behind his brother Simba to watch over Fiona and her family.

❤

Run free Toby - no more pain.

This boy was Zac.
He was an 11 1/2 year old collie.
He was owned and utterly adored by Jayne and Phil.
He was a rescue - they saved him. He was in a poor state when they took him over from the farm he was on.

Sadly Zac had multiple health issues which were concerning for his family. He started developing cracking on his nose and it was bleeding and it was affecting his air flow. His bowel movement were abnormal and he was off his food.
He was sleeping a lot and had no energy and wasn’t getting up to greet Phil as he normally would. This was a real red flag for the family. He was drinking and toileting more.
He was also struggling with his mobility and despite having a ramp and yumove his back end was getting weaker.

Overall his qualify of life wasn’t at a level they were happy with.
They didn’t want to go down investigations with Zac as he was a nervous boy and they didn’t want to cause him any distress with testing.

They made the call to say goodbye.

Zac was a special boy and I felt privileged to have been able to give him a gentle fuss. He wasn’t scared.

He passed peacefully at home.

Jayne has shared these lovely photos (I couldn’t pick!) of her precious boy.

Run free Zac ❤

This little lady was Mitzy aka “Queen of the house”

Her mum Angela named her with an ‘M’ as her children McKenzie, Madison and Mia all had M’s.

She was a 12 year old Frenchie.
She sadly had developed a cancerous mass that had grown rapidly and was affecting her quality of life and welfare. She was losing weight and not her usual self.

Angela didn’t want her to deteriorate further so got in touch to say goodbye.

She passed away peacefully at home with the family around her and she was smiling with her goofy feet on show ❤

She is now reunited with her babies.

She leaves behind Edward, Annie and Lily in check.

19/11/2024

This beautiful girl was Marley.
She was an almost 17(!!) year old border collie.
She was rescued from the dogs home at around 2 by her wonderful mum Heather. Her rescue number was 101 and they actually thought she was a boy (hence the name).

She was resilient and strong.

Heather told me of how she had an accident in a horse field years prior and broke her leg and was so stubborn and strong she wouldn’t let her carry her to the car. They repaired the fracture but there were complications and unfortunately it had to be amputated so she became a tripod but that still never stopped her!

Marley was there when Heather met her partner Claire and she fell in love with her too. Marley bonded them forever.

Sadly Marleys age was showing. She had gone off her food and was vomiting and she as looking tired.

Heather got in touch to pre-plan her goodbye. Her daughter came to visit the night before.

When I arrived Marley was settled on her bed with both Heather and Claire beside her. She was gently stroked and kissed and told how much they loved her. She didn’t need any sedation and I got her catheter in smoothly.
She passed peacefully in her forever home where she had slept, played, and caused mischief and brought laughter and love for the last 15 years.

Run free - may your amazing spirit continue to smile and play ❤

Pets need help and owners need support everyday - even on my birthday.
What a lovely gift to be given this evening from a very grateful family who knew it was my birthday and some chocolates from another family.

Euthanasia is the worst part of being a Vet - but it’s such a unique gift we can give to our friends. A blessing we don’t have in the country for ourselves.

To say goodbye, on our terms, in a calm controlled way. No fear or pain. With them until their last breath ❤

I find it a genuine privilege to be able to do this.

Castro ❤

A 21 year old absolutely stunning Bengal cat.
What an incredible life this boy has had.

He had lived with his devoted mum and dad Anna and Simon and their young daughter Emily for over two decades.

He had begun to struggle with his back legs. His appetite was varying and he had lost weight and condition. He wasn’t himself. He also had started missing his litter tray and this wasn’t like him.

Anna made the decision to say goodbye at home where Castro would be safe, relaxed and on their terms.

When I arrived he was nice and relaxed in the front room by the fire. I gave him a salmon licki lick which he enjoyed. We had a discussion together about how we would say goodbye (as cats are a little different to dogs). We opted not to sedate and Anna just continued to feed him and talk to him while he had his injection in his kidney. He literally fell asleep in her hands and passed very quickly and peacefully.

He was such a friendly, gentle cat.
He would wait for the fire to get warm before coming in and getting comfy.
He will be grateful missed and never forgotten.

❤

Another very beautiful token of thanks given to me today after helping Castro a stunning 22 year old Bengal cat pass over.

How absolutely lovely.

I will hang this in my car and it will make me smile and think of Castro and his family on all my future journeys helping other precious pets.

Just look at that smile ❤
This was Benny.

I will forever remember him as the oldest beagle I have ever met at a phenomenal age of 17 1/2 years old !! (That is the equivalent of 122 human years!)

Benny was the centre of his families world. They owned him from a little puppy.
They collected him on New Year’s Eve as a present for their son’s birthday.
Leanne and her family adored him.
Sadly, his body had started to decline as well as his mental faculties.
He had dementia and was barking at the wall and getting confused and distressed.
He had poor mobility and was showing signs of his amazing age.
His quality of life was not a good place anymore, and Leanne and her family made the very very kind and selfless decision to stop and let him pass with dignity and pain-free.

When I arrived, he was sitting on the sofa with his big brother Connor.
He had a lot of treats off me and we had a little cuddle.
He was such a sweet nature gentle boy we opted to not sedate him. I placed his catheter quickly first time which he didn’t even bat an eye at (focused on the treats!).

He passed very peacefully at home surrounded by family.
Serenity pet funeral services were on having to take him on the final part of his journey.

Run free no more pain, you old soul ❤

He leaves behind his brother, Toby (picture pictured top right) to keep over the family.

This beautiful girl was Poppy (or very lovingly inside joke known as little Cockroach ❤)

She was a 16 year old Jack Russel Terrier.
She was diagnosed with Degenerative myelopathy 18 months ago and unfortunately despite her families dedication and her speedy wheels off pumpkin charity she was really struggling.
She was struggling to go to the toilet and had collapsed.

Her loving family Jackie, Geoff and Dan made the decision to say goodbye at home.
Having owned and loved her from a puppy for 16 years they wanted her goodbye to be peaceful, calm and on her terms.

She was a well traveled dog, had even been to Venice and loved the motor home. She also loved the garden.

Rest in peace beautiful old girl ❤
