It is with great sadness that I post to mark the passing of our beautiful and much loved Somali boy, Bruno yesterday. Bru was 9 years old, and was a gentle, tentative little boy, always anxious to please. He had so much love to give and was so very much loved by us. He was fun to be with, and always close by to us.
Yesterday morning, after many cuddles and combs (he loved being groomed), he went out as usual. At 10.00 am the lady next door knocked on our door to say that the postman had alerted her to the fact that there was a dead cat in her garden, and she knew it was Bruno. My husband went and got him, he was unmarked, but bleeding from his nose, and his right eye was full of blood, he was already dead, but still warm. We don't know the cause of his death, but miss him so very much.
Yesterday afternoon as we sat with him on the bench in our greenhouse it started raining and a rainbow appeared. Later on when we took him to the pet cremation place a huge and bright rainbow appeared just as we arrived there.
He was cremated today.
Bruno had had a previous owner who died so I am sure that Lin, and his sister Tilly will be taking good care of him.
Our hearts are breaking - he is gone way too soon.
