Cleo, my grand old lady

[velma]

Not unexpectedly but still sadly, Cleo passed away just before the weekend. She was about 2years 8months so a good old age. She'd been getting old for a while and her kidneys were a bit weak but in the last month she'd been very wobbley and doddery. She was getting a bit thinner but was still eating and drinking normally even though her fur was getting a but tufty. She was still interested in coming out to say hello every day but in the last week she got very thin so I'd decided to get through the weekend and then take her to the vet. In the end she went on her own terms. She passed away in her sleep, curled up in her nest. We buried her in the garden yesterday, near my dear old Hector.

Thank you for being such a lovely old lady. My granny ham. The first syrian I'd had in twenty years and the face in the pet shop that made me realise I wasn't only a dwarf ham keeper. Play well at the bridge, my dear.

I'm so sorry velma, Cleo really did have a good long life with you & her loss is so sad but I'm glad she was able to go into her forever sleep quietly & peacefully at home.
She had a very special place in your heart & your life & I can imagine how much you will be missing her.

Run free & play well at the bridge Cleo.

I'm so sorry to hear that your grand old lady has crossed the bridge. Even if we know that their time is coming, it's still hard when we have to say goodbye.

Rest in Peace Cleo. xx
