    I’m very sorry to say that after seeing her 14th sunrise Alba left this world today. I think we managed to give her the send off she deserved. She was a very special little girl 💜 (1/8) 🧵

    We got some very bad test results through last night. All hope was gone. As dogs have a way of doing Alba also told me last night herself without words. She had nothing left to give. We went up for one last sunrise this morning (2/8)

  3. #3

    She died in her beloved corner of my couch. In her first ever proper home. She was surrounded by loving faces including her best friend Hank (3/8)

    Our local dog loving Monk was able to help us give Alba a proper send off. She would have died alone on her chain so this was a lovely contrast. (4/8)

    There were some beautiful words in Thai. I just thought about all the kind comments I’d read about Alba online and told her what a special dog she was (5/8)

    I spread her ashes at the top of her little hill. She’ll be able to watch all the sunrises and sunsets for eternity up there and me and Hank will visit her each morning (6/8)

    It would be so easy to focus on the negatives and let things like this break you and not go on. Alba was let down like so many dogs are. So although I’m very sad the work will go on at an even greater pace (7/8)
