Hobbles, thank you for being my gentle, clever, smart and loving friend for almost 16 years. I am so sorry I had to make that decision today, I couldn't bear to see your pain, and i knew you wanted it to stop. I hope you meet mum now, she will be pleased to see you, its been a long time since she last held you. Please pop by to visit me, even if i cant see you, i will know you are there. Goodbye my friend.
