Thank you everyone, for all your lovely messages and thoughts. I have wondered in the past when writing condolences for others, whether it helps and now I find myself in this position, I can say that it helps a great deal and is a huge comfort.
It has been a dreadful week as I had to say goodbye to Stellar, one of my rabbits today. it had been on the cards for a while but the timing could not have been worse.
The house just seems so empty without Yogi. I thought having other dogs would make it easier but there is the empty space and feeding times and on our walk I so much wanted to look behind and see him coming along. I keep picking up three biscuits not two and silly things like him not being there to lick out the butter pot. But at least I was with him when it happened and I don't think he knew anything about it so that is a small consolation.
