In memory of Dexter

Dexter my best boy. Our 14 years together were so wonderful. You chose me when you were so tiny and you were my shadow until the end. I still see you trotting down the road after me when I go for a walk. And every Sunday roast I check you wouldn't be able to do a runner with the chicken! It's almost a year since we said goodbye and I've still not been able to part with your ashes. I still have to remind myself why we had to say goodbye. I couldn't let you suffer, it was so difficult to go through with it, but you needed me to be brave and strong and do what was right for you. We didn't leave you, we stayed with you the whole time and I was stroking you and telling you what a good cat you are and how loved you are. I hope you had comfort from that. The other cats were very different when we came home. They knew you had gone. You were one of a kind Dexter, my Doddle. A true legend, forever known as The Do. Thank you for picking me, love you and miss you always xx 💙
