We travelled home on Friday without problems - we left at 6.32 am precisely in order to beat
the traffic hold ups in Perth and Edinburgh, and succeeded.

On Monday we noticed Tim was slowing down on his walk and I slept on the living room
floor beside him through a very disturbed night. By 8.30am Tuesday we were at the vet's surgery in Hexham and by 8.45 my beautiful boy had left me.

We knew he had a tumour but we did not expect him to go downhill so fast, though as Tim the vet said - it's a good thing. We didn't want him to have a long lingering death.
He certainly enjoyed his holiday in Scotland and he loved life.
The problem is mine - I keep expecting to hear him trotting upstairs to pop his head around the door to find me. Now I have to eat all those hard crusts off the toast and throw away the apple cores. He was short of his 9th birthday on New Year's Eve by a couple of months.
