My beloved whippet Violet was put to sleep this morning. Shane came this afternoon and buried Violet for me under one of the willow trees by the stream. Molly put a posy of roses, pinks, canterbury bells and alchemilla on the grave. Violet looked so peaceful and I couldn't believe that she had been so ill. It will take me a long time to get over this. I loved Violet so much - she was the sweetrest gentlest dog, and had three weeks of misery. A chain of events that could have all been avoided. It is an absolute tragedy.

I followed along through your daughter's blog and twitter postings. I'm so sorry for your loss -- it's heartbreaking to lose a dog, a good friend, and for such a horrible and needless cause.
I also followed this though your daughter's blog. I'm so sorry about Violet too.
Hello Aurora - so sorry about your loss. Found you through LLG. Very glad to see mine's not the only cheeky hound who prefers to be on rather than under the table. I shall add you to my blogroll.
