Default Rasper 1997 - 2009 goodnight my boy

well very sadly Rasper lost his battle last night and he was put to sleep at 6:30 yesterday evening,

i'm crying as i type this so please forgive me if it doesn't make sence,

he has suffered from tumas over the last 2 years and in january last year he had a huge operation as a tuma had burst inside him, they removed his spleen and they gave him about 12 months but he was a little fighter and he lasted over 14 months, he was under the weather all day yesterday, and couldn't move so i spent the whole day cuddling my beautiful boy for the last time,

the vet looked at him and gave us our options, first option was another huge operation which he didn't think was fair on him as he wouldn't survive it second time around and the second option was to let him go peacefully in my arms, (the one place he loved)

as hard as that desicion was it was the best thing for him, as he will no longer be in pain and suffering, my partner and i both agreed to sadly say our goodbyes

as Rasper was such a character and loved by all i informed my family and they all came to the vets teary eyed to say goodbye, after a very emotional few minutes, my partner and i was left alone with Rasper as he was laid to rest,

11 years with my boy,

here are some pictures of Rasper over the past 11 years,

my beautiful boy is sadly missed by all but will never be forgotten















thanks for looking,

Andy

Poor Rasper, and indeed poor you

Im so sorry to hear of your loss. It is never easy when you lose a loved one, but try and take comfort in the knowledge that he had a wonderful long life with you, and that he went peacefully, free from pain and suffering.


RIP Rasper. xxx

You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
