Our dear, sweet Elvis left us very suddenly Friday July 18th 2003. He had just turned 3 years old.
We will never forget the chocking message we received while we were away on holiday. A close friend who was looking after Elvis called us late that evening and said she found him dead on the floor. He hadn’t been ill at all, and she had only been away for 15 minutes, and when she left him he was sleeping.
We haven’t received the report from the pathologist yet, but most likely he had an acute heart failure and passed very silently without any pain. After all that is a small comfort for us to know he didn’t feel anything.
It is so empty without Elvis in the house. He was mommy’s big boy, always following me around. Never did he hurt anyone, and he loved all our friends and family. He was a true companion – loving, caring, adorable…
We will never have another dog like Elvis, and although our time with him was far, far too short we will cherish it for the rest of our lives.
We miss you dearly, baby boy. May you rest in peace… Hopefully you have met Damara at the Rainbow Bridge, and we hope to see you there when our time comes…
With the greatest love,
| Elvis {James Harriot} |
