Guess what?  Another good think was I met you lot, thanks to Sam seeing my lost message on mymoggy.com and inviting me on to Purrs.

Thats a lovely thing to say.  I also think your garden tribute for Smudge is beautiful.

A lovely tribute to your boy Mary  :hug:

One good thing that came out of all this was Smudge paved the way for you and Bonnie  :Luv2:

You're right there Mark and I swear Bonnie knows what is going on as she has been even more loving than usual, I am so glad I got her when Smudge went missing as I think I might have had a break down after the week I have just had.

Guess what?  Another good think was I met you lot, thanks to Sam seeing my lost message on mymoggy.com and inviting me on to Purrs.

Mary and Bonnie and Smudge in spirit.

I just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear of your little one.

I was running the lost and found register for the branch when Smudge was registered with us. I remember Mary's dedication to fining him, and all the effort she went to. I remember the little stories she put about him, and I never forgot about him  :'(

Lots of hugs at this difficult time xxx

Hello again Mary,

Smudge's resting place is beautiful and he is home at last where he belongs...poor little baby.

May I ask when you think he was run over?  Was it after the collar was found?  I just find this so unbelievably cruel after all the months that he's been missing.  To be so close to finding him alive.... and then this...it's all too sad.

Smudge at rest in the garden he loved.  He would sit for hours in the middle of the heather, I've put a black cat ornament in the centre and one in front. Smudge is under the stepping stone with the squirrel on it.

He's at home and in peace.  I love you with all my heart Smudge - you've always known that.

God bless you darling.

Love mummy.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I have been away from Purrs for a while. A slight departure for me in that I have been trying to find the owner of a missing dog. Thankfully, it diidn't take too long.

I am so sorry to read this Mary. It is so cruel as your hopes were raised with the finding of the collar. All you can ever do is your best in these situations.

RIP little guy.

Thanks again guys fro all your comments and the PMs I'm getting.  Sorry for bringing up memories of all your little darlings.  I truly believe they are all together having such fun and taliking about what fantastic lives they had with us all.

It wasn't nice, in fact it was bloody horrible picking Smudge's dead body up only 5 days after finding his collar - it really isn't fair at all.  I've been blaming myself and I have to stop and think that if that lady hadn't phoned me abolut his collar I would not have put posters up in that area and Smudge will still have been knocked down by the car.  But because of my posters the lady who saw his body by the wall was able to phone me and I was able to bring him home and put him to rest in his fave place in my garden.

My keyboard is wet through with tears now so I'm off to get ready to take Bonnie to the vet for 11 for her monthly injection for the rash on her back.

I'll take a photo when I feel up to it and let you alkl see where he now is.

I'm so sorry to hear this, it must be so awful after finding the collar last week. I am glad you have been able to bring smudge home even though it is in such sad circumstances. At least you can grieve for him now rather than not knowing where he is, I'm sure this is not much comfort to you now though and we are all here for you to help you through this horrible time.

There are no words that I can say to make you feel better Mary, but rest assured smudge knew how much you loved him and that you never gave up on him and, at least now he is home again, though it is little consolation to you at this time.
