Good grief, what a week. Tripp was to be put to sleep on monday but unfortunately I had to stay in and wait for some twat to change the wheels on my dad’s car and couldn’t make an appointment, so I decided to do it on my next day off which was Thursday. Apparantly though Tripp couldn’t wait that long and died on Wednesday in his sleep. :( He was always quite a quiet and mousey little chap but I could tell he missed Cornish when he passed a few months back.

And to top it off, Harpo suffered a bad stroke on Friday and spent the day on a hot water bottle. I was unsure he would survive but was still alive in the morning (having spent the night on his hot water bottle). He was even still alive when I returned from work on Saturday and managed to munch a pea and some grape, but it must’ve been too much and he passed around half 10 tonight. He was quite a little character, the mediator of the group, and came out in the morning with Ob for his cereal when called so I’m rather gutted at the loss. :( I’m really going to miss him not coming out for cheerios in the morning.

I took five lads out today to snap some photos seeing as the weather has actually CLEARED!! Nothing like some dismal September/October weather to ruin the first few days of your holiday off work. :P
