Very sad to update you all with the news that we had to say goodbye to Alfie on Friday 7th April He had been struggling with many health conditions and had been slowly deteriorating for a while - we're not sure what caused him to reach "his time" in the end, he just went a bit funny overnight and was completely not himself or able to do anything on Friday morning, we rushed him to the vets and the decision was made rather quickly We'll miss you so much special boy <3 11/07/2008 - 07/04/2023

So very, very sorry to hear this. It's the decision that every pet owner dreads having to make but the kindest one when the time comes to say goodbye.
Take care and try to think of all the great times you have had with your special little man.

Alfie was one special dog alfiemummy. He'd been with you for almost half your life & will leave a really large void in your life. However he will always be with you in your heart & in your treasured memories. He will have left this life knowing that you loved him & had the courage to make that last decision of love for him. RIP Alfie waiting at Rainbow Bridge fit & well again playing with all those gone before.

And for those who still cant open the link ..... What a lovely lovely tribute to Alfie xxxx ๐พ Alfie (11/07/2008 - 07/04/2023) ๐พ
Some difficult news but felt important to share as many of you knew Alfie well or will have met him at least once at some point over the years.
Lots of my longstanding clients your dogs would have walked with him daily - he'd been coming to work with me every day since he was 3 right up until he was around 13.
To the young puppies he was the excellent teacher and role model, helping them to learn how to interact well with everyone. To the more lively & playful dogs he was the fun police and referee ๐ฅน But to all of the dogs he was friendly and a reliable buddy, the goodest boy there was โค๏ธ
He will be forever missed ๐

Thank you all for the kind words It's very strange at home without him - although he was basically asleep 90% of the time towards the end, the house feels oddly quiet and empty - I keep expecting him to just pop his head around the corner. tonib you're right - I was 15 when we got Alfie and I'm now 30, I can't really remember what it's like to not have a dog as I've had the responsibility of him my whole adult life! scallywag thanks for quoting what I put on my business page - I had a very odd first day back at work today. Although Alfie hasn't been to work with me for almost 2 years I really felt it today and gave the other dogs lots of cuddles. A few of my clients were speaking to me about him too which was difficult - particularly my longest serving client, her dog is the same age Alfie was, they were like best buddies and she's known me and Alfie since I first started the business (she became my client just from seeing me out and about with Alfie constantly and getting chatting to her!)
