farewell Scruffy

Some of you may remember scruffy the 35yo galah we ended up with who was in awful health (kidneys, liver, thyroid, premature arthritis) as a result of a lifetime of inadequate diet. She was starting to look really good then her kidneys started shutting down over the weekend. I took her to our vet who has been treating her. we discussed what was going on and I decided that enough was enough. Just couldn't put her through anymore. I cuddled her, spoke to her while she gradually slipped away.

Beautiful soul and it was an absolute pleasure and honour to spend these last few months with her.

Farewell dear lady.

Poor Scruffy, poor you, thank you for caring so well for the little lady. You're a good egg. Hope you aren't hurting too much.

I'm sorry you didn't get more time with her. I'm glad she passed surrounded by love.
