Goodbye to Scamp

The last couple of weeks have been busy, with looking after Scamp, our Yorkshire Terrier. He had a growth on the bones in his face but he remained interested in life, food and cuddles. In consultation with our vet we decided to care for him at home until his quality of life dropped. He was OK over the weekend but went down hill fast this week and this morning he had two fits.  This evening we said goodbye to Scamp. 

He came to live with us when he was 5 weeks old. Too young to leave his mother, but she rejected him and so he came to us earlier than planned and we had to give him regular small feeds and be very careful not to step on him.

Although he was small he had a big personality and soon took control of the household. Whilst still a young puppy his ears stopped flopping over and he would hear the slightest sound, especially the fridge being opened.

He always looked as if he was smiling.

Scamp was a great companion on walks and loved to stop for lunch at a pub.

He was also a very helpful quilter's dog. He loved to test the cosiness of all quilts and gave his considered opinion.

I will miss Scamp and our morning cuddles, and his meeting me at the front door when I get home from work.

 

Thank you Scamp for being such a faithful companion. I will miss you.

On Friday I will be getting my sewing machine out for the first time in a couple of weeks. It will be strange to be sewing without Picasso and Scamp. We will be getting new fur babies but not for a few weeks. 

Take care
