Rex

Rex was my special Millennium puppy.

Every Cavalier King Charles has a sweet nature, and Rex was no exception. He stayed by my side for 13 years, my little shadow, showering love and affection on my husband and son, but reserving all his most special welcomes for me.

He took such pleasure in our walks and waited patiently as I stopped to gossip with the neighbours, in return for which he was allowed to dawdle along and sniff his way merrily around the neighbourhood or break loose and chase squirrels in the Park.

He was good and happy right until the end, when I took the heartbreaking decision to choose sleep for him rather than subject him to the myriad of medication and tablets which I was told might inhibit but would not prevent the inevitable decline into heart failure. I cried bitter tears as I held him in my arms as he slipped away.

We miss Rex dreadfully. Each day drags past and I still come home hoping to see his little nose pressed up against the front window waiting expectantly for me.

The centre of our home is missing. Rex's little toenails are indented everywhere on our wooden floors, and across our hearts.

We are so glad we had the opportunity to love him and be loved in return
