Our gorgeous Ben spent his last day lying next to my chair as I read, in the glorious sunshine of 7th November. He was so poorly in the night that I took him to the vets on the following day. I did not want him to leave on a cold metal table and so the vet kindly came out to the car where, comfy on a blanket with the sun shining down on him, he went off to join my most beloved Olivia. Thank you Ben for your years of affection and kindness, I am so happy that your last full day on earth was spent with me on my birthday.
