What a terrible thing to have happened, especially at such an upsetting time in your life too  :hug:

Dawn is right though, it's the memories that count and nobody can take those away from you  :hug:

The workmen would not have known that they were there. The last body was about three years ago and their little bodies are only tiny to a mighty bulldozer.  It is not just my garden, we are talking about a whole row of houses and many thousand tonnes of earth. 

I have been feeling mighty depressed since it happened but I am hoping to turn a corner now that the sun has come out. 
At least Spotty's grave is safe and he has a lovely big red cross on it  RIP my darling man  xx

Thank you everybody for all your kind words it is much appreciated.  I did not have as long with Spotty as I expected it was exactly four weeks to the day that he was diagnosed with cancer and then we lost him.  Homer woke me up at 5.30 am (I have no idea how he opened the kitchen door which was definitely closed) Spotty passed at about 6 am.

I was very upset over Spotty but it was expected and he is at peace now, but just before Spotty died (missed any planning applications that must have been passed).  How can I explain that would make it straight forward, our back garden is open plan and we back onto a major industrial estate, well my pets graves which we thought was on our land (three cats Jess, Cleo and Milly, two dogs, three guinea pigs and one hampster have been "excavated" to make way for Halfords.  I have felt sick ever since.  I don't really know what to do for the best but at least Spotty's grave which is just inside the boundary line is safe.  I have been very depressed ever since.

Once again I am very glad that Purrs is here    :thanks:

RIP Spotty, safe and sound at the Bridge by now xx

Remember Our Love


I was chosen today
I'm learning to fly
the world took me away,
but please don't you cry

And I chose you today
to try and be strong
so please don't you cry
and don't say that I'm gone

When you're feeling alone
just remember our love,
I'm up near the stars
looking down from above.

Remember our love
In a moment you'll see
that I'm still here beside you
when you're thinking of me.

Oh what a crap start to the day Spotty passed away at about 6 am this morning.  Trev and I were talking yesterday about taking him to the Vet today and so Spotty has taken that decision out of our hands. 

Spotty came to us as a stray and I hope we gave him a good life

Do what you feel is right in your heart for you and Spotty. When our Cidie was ill we had this problem - like she forgot where the tray was but we just cleared up. She couldn't help it. We didn't mind and to heck with what anyone else says.
We only helped her on her way when her kidneys failed completely and there was no way back.
You will know when that time come for Spotty and till then let him eat what he likes I'd say. We stopped Cidies expensive renal diet when she refused to eat it and went back to normal. Better a few weeks of enjoying dinner and life than starving and ill :)

Glad to hear there's been no worsening of symptoms.


What do other peeps think?

Only you know Spotty so well Yvonne, even more than your vet but your vet knows things you don't so I'd work with your vet. 
So personally as difficult as I truly know it is I'd go by my own instincts (you also say your vet hasn't mentioned anything either) if you do feel unsure have a word with your vet is what I always do  :hug:
